Business Launch Workshop
Plan your services, website and local marketing.
What the workshop covers
Work through your services, website information and how clients will enquire or book.
The workshop is included with Level 3 Sports Massage. The £999 Personal Training course does not include this workshop, the Hub website or marketing sessions. The sports massage cohort takes part in a two-hour session; after qualifying, you receive three monthly one-hour individual sessions with a marketing advisor.
Shape your business
Work through who you want to help, how to describe your services, your pricing approach and a practical launch plan.
Prepare your website
Plan the services, about information, contact details and booking route for your included SSTA Business Hub website.
Get found locally
Get guidance on local search, setting up an eligible Google Business Profile, requesting reviews and making relevant local connections.
Start your social media
Plan your business profiles and develop a manageable content approach that explains your services and helps people get to know you.
Set up bookings and payments
Plan your availability and client journey using the booking and Stripe payment tools in your included SSTA Business Hub.
What to bring to the workshop
Your offer
Bring your intended services, real qualifications, location and the people you want to help. We work through how to explain the offer clearly.
Your existing tools
Tell us about any domain, website, social profiles or booking system you already use. The setup should reflect your starting point.
Your responsibilities
Provide accurate service and business information, and agree setup responsibilities, account access and support. Check professional requirements before offering services to clients.
Ask admissions when your cohort workshop takes place and how to arrange the marketing sessions after qualifying.
Before you decide
See how the Level 3 Sports Massage package’s cohort workshop, website and individual marketing support fit together. Ask admissions about timing, setup and access.
Is this the free sports massage taster?
No. The taster helps prospective learners explore training before deciding. The Business Launch Workshop is included with Level 3 Sports Massage and focuses on preparing your business.
Is the workshop included with my qualification?
The two-hour Business Launch Workshop is included with Level 3 Sports Massage and delivered to the whole cohort. The £999 Personal Training course does not include the workshop, Hub website or marketing sessions. Ask admissions how it fits into your course.
Do you build the website for me?
The Level 3 Sports Massage course includes a website on the SSTA Business Hub. The £999 Personal Training course does not include it. The workshop helps you plan your services, website information and local marketing. We will explain the setup process and what you need to provide.
What might I pay for after the setup?
The Business Hub page, hosting, bookings, online payments and custom domain included with Level 3 Sports Massage have no SSTA fees. Stripe charges its own processing fee on payments your clients make. Ask admissions when access starts, how long it lasts and what setup support includes.
Can I use an existing website or business account?
Tell us what you already have. We can discuss support with your advertising and service offer instead; the alternative scope needs to be agreed with you.
Will this guarantee clients or search rankings?
No. The workshop helps you prepare your offer and client-facing setup. Marketing results depend on your service, location, activity, competition and other factors.
