Total startup cost: £0.00
Recurring annual cost: £0.00

Most practitioners carry public liability insurance even though it isn't a universal legal requirement — confirm this is intentional.

No monthly outgoings estimate entered — your contingency buffer is £0 until you add one.

Please note: This tool totals the figures you enter — it does not supply market pricing data, which this research could not verify centrally. Confirm current course, insurance, and licensing fees yourself.
