Hello!
I am part way through setting up a new martial arts club (Kali with a self defence attitude) in Bath, UK and have a couple of questions to those who run their own clubs:
1) I am looking to get Instructor insurance and, potentially, student-student insurance. I will be hiring venues (mainly church halls), so do not believe that I need building/contents insurance.
What insurance do you have?
Which provider do you use?
Have you ever had to claim? If so, did your insurance cover what you expected?
If you have student insurance, is this something that you did as part of your own club, or part of a wider organisation?
Providers I have found so far are:
Martial Guard
Insure4Sport
Endsleigh
erm... that's it
2) I am employed in a full time job and do not wish to become self employed (as my current employer would then have to sub-contract me, which they don't want to do, and I would have to sort out the tax calculations on ALL my activities, which I do not want to do), but to ensure everything is run above board financially, I am considering setting the club up as a private limited company, with me as director (and only shareholder), so that student fees are not misconstrued as my personal income (i.e. if they were simply paid in to my bank account).
I am not planning to pay myself a salary, but potentially pay a dividend at the end of the year if there is anything left over after hall fees, insurance costs and investment in equipment.
Is this something that you have done?
If so: do you have to declare yourself as self employed first (is this step necessary?), then incorporate your company, then register yourself as director? Do you then have to file company accounts, corporation tax AND personal tax stuff?
If not, what status is your club and how do you manage the money thing without getting on the less desirable side of HMRC?
Any and all help and suggestions would be much appreciated!
