Choosing the Best Business Structure for Therapists & Coaches: A Comprehensive Guide for Success

Introduction: Hey there, fellow therapists and coaches! Today, we're diving into a topic that might not sound super exciting at first but trust me, it's crucial for your business success: choosing the right business structure. Don't worry if you're not a business expert - I'll break it down into simple terms that we can all understand.

Part 1: Understanding the Basics Let's start with the basics. When it comes to setting up your therapy or coaching practice, there are four main business structures to consider: sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company (LLC), and corporation. Each one has its own perks and quirks, so let's unpack them a bit.

Part 2: Sole Proprietorship Picture this: you're a one-person show running your practice all on your own. That's the beauty of a sole proprietorship - it's just you, calling the shots and keeping things simple. Sure, there's less legal protection, but it's a great starting point for many of us.

Part 3: Partnership Now, let's say you've got a buddy or two who share your passion for therapy or coaching. A partnership might be the way to go. It's like teaming up for a big project, except this time, it's your business. Just remember, with great partnerships come great responsibilities - and sometimes, disagreements.

Part 4: Limited Liability Company (LLC) Okay, here's where things get a bit fancier. An LLC is like a hybrid of a sole proprietorship and a corporation. It gives you some protection from personal liability while still keeping things relatively simple. Think of it as the Goldilocks option - not too complicated, not too risky.

Part 5: Corporation Last but not least, we've got the big leagues: the corporation. This one's for those of us with big dreams and big plans. It offers the most legal protection but also comes with more paperwork and regulations to navigate. It's like levelling up in the business world.

Part 6: Factors to Consider When Choosing a Business Structure Alright, now that we've covered the basics, let's talk about what really matters: finding the right fit for you. Consider things like how much risk you're comfortable with, how much paperwork you're willing to deal with, and where you see your business going in the long run. Remember, there's no one-size-fits-all solution - it's all about finding what works best for you and your unique business.

Conclusion: Phew, we covered a lot today! Choosing a business structure might not be the most glamorous part of starting your therapy or coaching practice, but it's definitely one of the most important. Take some time to weigh your options, do your research, and don't be afraid to seek out professional advice if you need it. With the right foundation in place, you'll be well on your way to building the business of your dreams.

Hi there, I'm Bev Jessup

Even though I play an inspiring entrepreneur on the internet, I’m also a real person and a tired mother of three grown-up adorable boys.

I work purely online as a speech therapist and online consultant whilst my hubby Adam goes off to work.

I’m passionate about changing the world. And one extremely impactful way to do that is to empower speech therapists to share their talents worldwide and put more money in their hands in the process.

"My role in the world is to help therapists and coaches with their tech fears so that they can create a profitable online business without burnout"

You know that horrible feeling in your stomach when you feel that you don't want to work so many hours just to make ends meet?

Or when you procrastinate starting your own private practice because you don't know where to start?

Or the fact that your income has stagnated and you don't know how to push it to the next level? Or you are wondering how to get more clients without having to drop loads of fliers off at the GP surgeries or schools? Or you have dreamed of travelling and working at the same time?

I get you and I help therapists overcome these obstacles so they lead a more fulfilled life and business

Thank you for tuning in and letting me part of your journey. I know your dream is worth it so I want to encourage you to follow your dreams
