Yoga & Pilates studio
A class with two people costs what a class with twenty costs.
Teacher pay comes off the published schedule, not off attendance. The gap between spots offered and spots sold is the gap between what you pay for and what you’re paid for.

Churn compounds. Joining doesn’t.
- A studio adding a steady number of members and losing a steady percentage converges on a size. That size is arithmetic, not opinion.
- Unredeemed class packs are work already paid for. You teach it; the seller banked it.
- The students may come for one teacher, and nobody’s told her the studio is for sale.
- Teacher-training revenue registered to an individual rather than to the studio doesn’t convey.
Three moves, in this order.
1. Start with the membership base. Members today, joins per month, and the percentage that leaves — then run it forward twelve months.
2. Price the schedule, not the attendance. Spots offered against spots sold, with teacher pay where it actually sits: on the fixed side.
3. Check what’s left against the loan, with the unredeemed packs counted as the obligation they are. Debt coverage, break-even and twelve months of cash flow.
If the base is smaller at the end of the year than at the start, you’ll see it before you sign.
The studio business plan, and the membership model underneath it.

No hype. No loan promises.
This won’t get you approved and it won’t tell you whether to buy. It helps you build the number yourself, early, while walking away is still free.
It’s built for buying a studio that already exists. Starting one from scratch, there’s no membership base to test — wrong tool.
We’re not lenders, brokers, attorneys or accountants. Where a question needs one, the files say so.
