Football skills coaching in Kenya: Pricing, Costing and Cash Flow Example
Editorial update: 28 October 2026 · Business planning reference · Review scope
Use one accepted sale unit throughout
Work through a fictional KSh 8,000.00 invoice against KSh 4,840.00 of selected cost lines; distinguish the invoice from collected cash.
This is a planning reference for football skills coaching. The order below is an invented teaching case. It is not a completed customer job, an operating approval or a prediction of demand or earnings.
The example offer and its boundary
Fictional football clinic: eight guardian-consented young players of an agreed age band, one 60-minute noncontact passing/control session with a qualified coach and vetted support adult. Team selection, scholarships and match representation are excluded.
Charging basis to confirm: player-session. The rates and quantities below are teaching assumptions. Even a previously recorded listing is not adopted here as a current quotation or an earnings forecast.
Itemised arithmetic
| Selected input/activity | Quantity | Assumed unit rate | Selected cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Field hire, slot | 1 | KSh 1,500.00 | KSh 1,500.00 |
| Ball cleaning/wear, ball-session | 4 | KSh 60.00 | KSh 240.00 |
| Consent/skill card, piece | 8 | KSh 25.00 | KSh 200.00 |
| Coach prep/clinic/admin, hour | 3 | KSh 700.00 | KSh 2,100.00 |
| Support adult setup/collection, hour | 2 | KSh 400.00 | KSh 800.00 |
| Calculation | Teaching result |
|---|---|
| Selected cost total | KSh 4,840.00 |
| Priced/accepted output | 8 example units |
| Assumed selling price | KSh 1,000.00 |
| Assumed invoice | KSh 8,000.00 |
| Difference before excluded costs and tax | KSh 3,160.00 |
Listed cost KSh 4840.00; cost/unit KSh 605.00; hypothetical receipts 8×1000=KSh 8000.00; residual KSh 3160.00. This is not net profit. Tax, premises, permits, insurance, equipment acquisition/depreciation and unlisted fixed costs remain unresolved. Confirm actual stock, accepted yield, labour and delivered charges before pricing. Reusable tools are existing resources; full-pack cash may exceed allocated consumption.
Check cash timing and a weaker outcome
TRAINING-0827: a fictional order for the scoped offer in section 01, using 8 priced units at KSh 1,000.00 each. Buyer group: young players and guardians. No buyer was contacted and no order was completed.
Teaching invoice = 8 x KSh 1,000.00 = KSh 8,000.00. The selected input lines in section 06 total KSh 4,840.00; their difference from this assumed invoice is KSh 3,160.00 before excluded costs and tax.
For cash-timing practice only, suppose a buyer pays a 30% advance of KSh 2,400.00. The invoice balance is KSh 5,600.00. If the selected input bill is paid before the balance arrives, additional cash of KSh 2,440.00 is needed after applying the advance. The advance is counted once, not again at final collection.
On full collection, total receipts are KSh 8,000.00. Cash against the selected example bill is KSh 3,160.00 before other payments. If a hypothetical 10% increase in the largest selected line (Coach prep/clinic/admin, hour) adds KSh 210.00, the unchanged invoice leaves KSh 2,950.00 against that revised bill.
If the customer instead leaves 10% of the invoice unpaid, KSh 800.00 is a receivable. Cash collected is KSh 7,200.00 and collected cash less the selected bill is KSh 2,360.00. This differs from invoice margin; do not spend the unpaid amount as though it is already cash.
The scenario is complete only as a teaching record of the stated lines. Add actual excluded startup and operating costs using file 12, and replace every assumed rate before relying on a quote. Use measured accepted output for the actual invoice; unaccepted output is not automatically chargeable.
For an actual quote, add all relevant excluded costs, use measured accepted output, and compare amounts from the same period. An unpaid invoice balance is not available cash. A deposit held for an uncompleted obligation is not automatically earned income.
