• Public liability insurance, and check whether professional indemnity is also worth having

Startup costs are typically around $500 to $3,500, depending on your equipment, training materials, any room hire and how you find clients. Costs vary with whether you travel to client workplaces or hire venues for your sessions.

Monthly revenue is typically around $800 to $5,000, depending on how many workshops you run and the clients you win. Plan for at least about 8 hours a week, with more time for preparing tailored sessions and travelling to clients.

Check public liability insurance and whether professional indemnity is also worth having. Also check venue hire terms and council requirements, working with children checks in your state or territory if you train schools or youth groups, and software licensing for trial accounts or client systems.
