• Solid Wing Chun experience and a teaching-level understanding of it
• Clear, patient teaching
• Keeping students safe in partner practice
• Basic bookkeeping and scheduling

• Commercial general liability insurance, and check whether the hall requires its own cover or proof of yours
• Signed waivers and a plan for injuries and first aid
• Extra checks such as a police vulnerable sector check if you teach children, depending on the venue and province
• Registering your business with your province and checking GST/HST once revenue passes the small supplier threshold
• Hall rent is due even when attendance is low, especially in winter

Startup costs are estimated at typically around $500 to $3,000, depending on your equipment, insurance and hall arrangements. Monthly revenue is estimated at around $300 to $2,500, depending on how many students attend and how often you teach.

Check commercial general liability insurance and whether the hall wants its own cover or proof of yours. Also check signed waivers, an injury and first aid plan, a police vulnerable sector check if teaching children, and provincial business and GST/HST registration.

You need solid Wing Chun experience and a teaching-level understanding, plus clear, patient teaching, safe partner practice and basic bookkeeping. The estimate is at least about 4 hours a week. Hall rent is due even when attendance is low.
