Q: A weight loss coaching practice: what licenses and permits come into play?
A: Good to meet you, think of this as a trail map for your weight loss coaching practice. Not every marker applies to every traveler, so we check which ones are on your path.
1. Business license: A business license for a weight loss coaching practice MAY ask how clients are coached, whether you offer meal plans or sell products, and whether sessions are in person or by video. 2. Home occupation permit: A home occupation permit MAY apply when you coach from a home workspace, usually limiting in-person visits, group classes, signage and the number of clients arriving per day. 3. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be needed if you sell supplements, shakes or meal kits, since goods are taxable while coaching sessions often are not. 4. Nutrition advice limits: Providing diet advice for medical conditions MAY require a dietitian or nutritionist license. 5. Supplement sales approval: Selling supplements MAY require product labeling and sales approvals. 6. Client disclosure form: A signed note explaining that coaching is not medical treatment and results vary is often kept in each client file. 7. Program agreement: A written outline of fees, weekly check-ins and cancellation terms may be requested. 8. Company papers: A DBA, an LLC or a tax ID number MAY make sense for your weight loss coaching practice, and we prepare all of these documents on this site, so everything can be ordered in one place.
