This is a planning reference for running group 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 novice running pilot: six consenting adults on one inspected short loop with a named competent leader and tail support. The45-minute booking includes briefing, optional run/walk practice and review; distance, pace and medical training targets are selected only after suitability review.
A quotation checklist for this business
| Resource | Exact request to price | Check before accepting the quote |
|---|---|---|
| Leader/support | Relevant competence and reviewed communication roles. | Check emergency response and cover. |
| Route map/comms | Printed route and charged communication devices. | Verify actual signal/access limitations. |
| Existing visible markers | Six appropriate identification items where suitable. | Visibility does not make unsafe road crossing safe. |
Keep the budget categories separate
- Leader/support: Relevant competence and reviewed communication roles. Confirm the quantity, landed quote and check emergency response and cover.
- Route map/comms: Printed route and charged communication devices. Confirm the quantity, landed quote and verify actual signal/access limitations.
- Existing visible markers: Six appropriate identification items where suitable. Confirm the quantity, landed quote and visibility does not make unsafe road crossing safe.
- 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.

These selected lines total KSh 3,960.00. They are a fictional operating example, not the full cash needed to start running group coaching. Listed cost KSh 3960.00; cost/unit KSh 660.00; hypothetical receipts 6×1100=KSh 6600.00; residual KSh 2640.00. 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.
