Question

Do i need to be an electrician to open a electrical busniess in melbourne australia?

Answer 1

Sounds like a pretty good idea, unless Melbourne is desparately short of structural fires and electrocution deaths lately.

Answer 2

What sort of electrical business is it? Are you selling electrical applicances in a store? Or are you planning on working as an electrician? If it is the later, you most definantly do need to be qualified. It is illegal to do electrical work unqualified, and you wouldn't be covered by any sort of insurance (personal, property or public liability) Either way, it would be handy knowledge.

Answer 3

i think it will do your business good if you know a little about being an electrician. what if your customer asked for your opinion about a simple electric question and you have no basic knowledge about it, you can't sell the customer anything because in the end he might get back at you or sue you for selling him things he didn't ask for (something like that).
