Startup costs are typically around £300 to £1,500, depending on your training, insurance and the hall hire terms you agree. Check any cancellation fees and insurance the venue requires before you commit to regular bookings.

Monthly revenue is typically estimated at around £300 to £2,000, depending on how many classes you run, your class sizes and your pricing. These are revenue estimates, not profit, so allow for hall hire and insurance.

Check public liability insurance, including whether your insurer covers teaching older or less mobile students. Review the hall hire terms, use a health questionnaire for new students with advice to check with a GP if unsure, and check music licensing if you play recorded music.
