Startup costs are typically around $300 to $2,000, depending on your camera, lighting, sound equipment and insurance. These are estimates only, so start with what you already own and upgrade as bookings grow.

Monthly revenue is typically around $200 to $1,500, depending on how many live classes you run, your ticket price and how many students join each session. This is an estimate of revenue, not profit.

Check which insurance covers online teaching, such as public liability or professional indemnity. Include clear safety guidance and allergy notes, since you cannot control students' kitchens. Also check whether selling food or ingredient kits would need council food business registration.
