Termly fees or pay-as-you-go class fees per student, with extra income from one-off workshops and shoe or accessory sales.

• Strong flamenco technique and teaching ability
• Clear communication with beginners
• Organising timetables and bookings

• Public liability insurance, and check whether your insurer wants a teaching qualification or first aid training
• If you teach children, check whether you need a DBS check and a safeguarding policy
• If you play recorded music in classes, check whether you need a PPL PRS music licence
• Check the hall's own insurance and booking terms, and whether you need a written hire agreement
• Register as a sole trader with HMRC and keep records of income

Startup costs are typically around £300 to £1,500, depending on insurance, hall hire and marketing. Treat this as an estimate, and check hall booking terms and any hire agreement before you commit to a regular slot.

Monthly revenue is typically around £300 to £1,800, depending on how many classes you run and how many students attend each one. The estimate starts from about 5 hours a week. It is an estimate, not a guarantee.

Check public liability insurance and whether your insurer wants a teaching qualification or first aid training. Also check whether you need a DBS check and safeguarding policy for children, a PPL PRS music licence, the hall's insurance and terms, and sole trader registration with HMRC.
