What sort of business is it?

What sort of business?

 

You need to obviously check the market first, no point wasting any more time until you know if people need what your offering, or if it already exists!

sports coaching

[cheeseman 10]

You could always contact business link, they give advise to new business start ups, Sports coaching isn't something I'm too familiar with so I 'm not sure what qualifications, insurance requirements you might need. Definitely, make a business plan; want to do, how you want to do it, and where your income and costs are coming from. Look at competition. Also, see if its actually profitable, would you really want to be working 12 hours a day 7 days a week and not earning what you would as an employee?
