BUSINESS ESSENTIALS COURSE

The Warrington Wolves Foundation, The Halliwell Jones Stadium, Winwick Road, Warrington WR2 7NE

This interactive course provides essential business and financial information for sports coaches and their clients to ensure both parties satisfy government regulations and requirements.

The course includes advice and guidance on the following:

 

LEGAL STATUS

We detail the definitions and requirements for the various ways coaches/workers can be paid in sport - self-employment, employment, casual work, volunteering with expenses - and outline the paperwork required for each of these types of service.

 

 

 

 

 

 

SELF-EMPLOYMENT

We outline the strict HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) self-employment guidelines that, if not satisfied, can result in a hefty tax bill for both coach and client. We detail how to check whether you are meeting the guidelines and what documentation is required to satisfy HMRC.

 

 

 

 

 

 

EMPLOYMENT

We review the various types of employment available to those in sport, including a detailed look at flexible contracts such as zero hours and casual worker contracts. We outline the paperwork required by HMRC for the various types of service.

 

 

 

 

 

 

CONTRACTS

We provide delegates with a sample contract for self-employment which outlines the ideal working arrangements for both coach and client to meet the HMRC self-employment guidelines.

 

 

 

 

 

 

INSURANCE

We detail the Health and Safety and insurance requirements for coaches and clients and how to minimise the risk of a policy not paying out

 

All delegates attending the courses receive an electronic copy of the relevant course material as well as essential forms, guides and sample contracts. We believe that our courses are currently the only training of their type specifically available for sports coaches and administrators and that they provide essential information to ensure that they are operating legally and safely and thereby play an important part in professionalising the services they provide.

Places on the courses cost just £45  per delegate per course and are approved for licence credits with relevant National Governing Bodies (contact us for details).
