Personal Training Contractors

I started my own company for outdoor fitness training as well as in-home visits. My issue is that I do not have the time to do the training. I want to find the business and "farm it out" to local insured personal training contractors. Is that legal, if so, what do I need to do to cover myself and business? Thanks, Bruce

There are various legal ways to "farm" out your personal training business. Whether you collect a certain percentage or fee from each client or trainer is up to you. What you want to make sure is that you have everything documented in writing. You will need independent contractor agreements for each trainer working for you. You will also want to ensure they use consistent contracts with your clients. You may want additional terms in the agreements regarding covenants not to compete (so they don't steal your clients), confidentiality clauses (if it applies), mechanisms of enforcement, remedies for breach, etc. Hire a business lawyer to do it right the first time then simply reuse all the contracts as you collect your money from the trainers.
