Editorial update: 28 October 2026 · Business planning reference · Review scope
Define what must be funded before the first order
Build a startup quotation schedule for Coach/support, Existing balls/cones, Field/records; separate setup, operating inputs and working 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.
A quotation checklist for this business
| Resource | Exact request to price | Check before accepting the quote |
|---|---|---|
| Coach/support | Actual youth coaching competence and safeguarding arrangements. | Verify roles, not assumed universal ratio. |
| Existing balls/cones | Four age-appropriate balls and sixteen cones. | Inspect condition and suitability. |
| Field/records | Permitted slot and eight consent/collection cards. | No programme affiliation implied. |
Keep the budget categories separate
- Coach/support: Actual youth coaching competence and safeguarding arrangements. Confirm the quantity, landed quote and verify roles, not assumed universal ratio.
- Existing balls/cones: Four age-appropriate balls and sixteen cones. Confirm the quantity, landed quote and inspect condition and suitability.
- Field/records: Permitted slot and eight consent/collection cards. Confirm the quantity, landed quote and no programme affiliation implied.
- Record equipment acquisition OR an appropriate use allocation, plus the full stock/minimum-order cash requirement; do not count both as the same per-job expense.
- Obtain actual labour, premises, transport, energy/water, rework, payment and ongoing overhead amounts relevant to this activity. Identify deposits, receivables and payment dates separately.
- Resolve the guide-specific evidence gaps listed in section 10. Any activity-specific permission, testing or specialist costs require actual scope and quotations, not an invented allowance.
What the selected teaching bill includes
| Selected line | Example quantity | Assumed 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 |
These selected lines total KSh 4,840.00. They are a fictional operating example, not the full cash needed to start football skills coaching. 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.
Close the budget before spending
For each actual quotation, record the delivered quantity, specification, cash due date, hire/purchase option and quote expiry. Keep an unknown cost blank. Reusable equipment purchase, an appropriate use allocation and refundable deposits are different records; do not count the same item twice.
- No field trial, customer transaction or specialist validation occurred; these checks remain pending.
- Actual stock, unobserved costs, tax, delivery and applicable local requirements need confirmation.
- Session content is a fictional planning example requiring suitably qualified coach review, participant suitability, local permission, insurance and emergency arrangements; not an exercise prescription.
