Define what must be funded before the first order
Build a startup quotation schedule for Tables/access, Existing bats, Practice balls; separate setup, operating inputs and working cash.
This is a planning reference for table tennis 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 table-tennis clinic: six adult learners rotate around two permitted tables for 60minutes with a competent coach. The scope is controlled serve and cooperative rally introduction, not tournament ranking or an ITTF certificate.
A quotation checklist for this business
| Resource | Exact request to price | Check before accepting the quote |
|---|---|---|
| Tables/access | Two correctly installed permitted tables. | Verify exact locking instructions through facility staff. |
| Existing bats | Six sound suitable bats. | Check grip/rubber and edges. |
| Practice balls | Twenty-four suitable balls and collection box. | Remove cracked balls from service. |
Keep the budget categories separate
- Tables/access: Two correctly installed permitted tables. Confirm the quantity, landed quote and verify exact locking instructions through facility staff.
- Existing bats: Six sound suitable bats. Confirm the quantity, landed quote and check grip/rubber and edges.
- Practice balls: Twenty-four suitable balls and collection box. Confirm the quantity, landed quote and remove cracked balls from service.
- 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 5,060.00. They are a fictional operating example, not the full cash needed to start table tennis coaching. Listed cost KSh 5060.00; cost/unit KSh 843.33; hypothetical receipts 6×1200=KSh 7200.00; residual KSh 2140.00. 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.
