FAQ
Should coaches invoice per session or per package? Packages get better client commitment and simpler cash flow. Use per-session only for ad-hoc clients.
Do coaches need to charge tax? Depends on your country. In the US most coaching is not taxable; in the UK/EU, VAT often applies. In India, GST applies above the threshold.
