Business and Marketing workshops
Giving Pilates studio owners a
framework for success
First-time small business owners often make decisions that later prove detrimental to their businesses because they do not have a structure on which to base their decisions. The Business Solutions workshop will provide such a framework as a key focus to help aspirant and existing studio owners overcome the hurdles often encountered in getting a business off the ground and building long-term sustainability.
While the workshop content is based on proven business principles, it is “packaged” in a user-friendly format that will allow studio owners to implement the skills they learn in their businesses immediately.
The workshop covers a wide spectrum of topics, for example:
- what form of business entity is most appropriate;
- what documentation is required for a bank loan;
- information on how to structure employment contracts and client agreements;
- awareness of the labour laws and other legislation with which Pilates businesses must comply;
- control of outstanding fees; and
- motivating employees.
The workshop will be examining the whole issue of ‘money in and money out,’ to try and help entrepreneurs feel more at ease with the financial side of business so that they can run their studios more effectively and place them on a more profitable footing.
