Well, like any other business, a break-even point can be calculated. Figure out what the monthly nut is for the fixed utilities: rent, utilities, phone, etc. - a simpler way might be to figure out what you would have to pay to keep the doors open if you had zero students. Figure out how much you want to spend on advertising (you should then double it - the voice of experience is speaking here), inventory and other variable expenses. Figure out what your monthly charge for lessons will be. Add all the expenses, divide by the monthly charge and that is the number of students that you have to have signed up to break even. Notice that I did not include income from sales, testings, seminars, whatever. The school should be able to pay its way based solely on the students' dues; anything else is profit that can be used to reduce debt burden, saved for improvements or taken out and put in the instructor's pocket. ------------------------------ From: Chuck Sears Date: Mon, 21 Aug 2000 17:47:48 -0500 Subject: the_dojang: Re: The_Dojang-Digest V7 #557 > > From: "Debbie Eidelman" > Date: Sat, 19 Aug 2000 22:21:54 -0400 > Subject: the_dojang: Questions - Songahm Taekwondo. > > First of all, hello!

Exactly. That is why it was asked. Do you have a school? May I ask what your 'magic number of students needed' is?
