Starting a business: hidden costs

Amber Aghi

As an acting tutor and actress I am covered for public liability insurance by Equity.

As a healer, annual insurance cover costs £50-£150. However, I discovered that The London Borough of Islington does not recognise Reiki as a healing practice on its own, so you need to offer Reiki with something else like Indian head massage or reflexology. Therefore, a further cost for additional training is necessary.

Website hosting and design

I found HostClear to be a reliable and low-cost web host. I used templates to create my teaching and healing sites, which are easy to update and manage.

An additional healing blog allows me to back link to sites with interesting content on healing and health. Having a presence on social networking sites Facebook and Twitter has allowed me to communicate updates on offers and promotions to a wider audience.

I post weekly content comprising of spiritual sayings and ideas. That way I am always in the mind of those following me; in a positive way of course.
