Startup costs are typically estimated at around $1,000 to $5,000, depending on the pads, gloves and other portable gear you buy and what insurance you need. Hall hire costs can eat into margins if class numbers stay low.

Monthly revenue is typically estimated at around $600 to $3,500, depending on class numbers and how many sessions you run. Many people start at about 6 hours a week, and hall hire costs come out of that revenue.

Check insurance that specifically covers contact-sport instruction, plus any extra cover the venue asks for. Also check hall hire terms on contact sports, storage and noise, working with children check rules in your state if you teach under 18s, and waiver wording with a professional.
