Teaching payroll on company premises?

carrot-cake_2

I do have another business I am working on but it may be some months before this is properly up and running and possibly over a year before I can take a wage. Cut a long story short I really need to find work (day job) by the middle of January and its highly unlikely I will.

So I was thinking. Because I have accounts, Sage and payroll experience and qualifications would it be possible to advertise to businesses to come to their premises and teach their staff how to do payroll onsite and charge them by the day?

If I did this are there any implications / regulations? Do I need to be trained as a tutor first? If I am teaching how to use Sage payroll or sage is this against the law, do I need to have accreditations etc?

My friend does a similar thing but she teaches sales techniques.

Not sure if it against the law but Sage do have approved Business Partners / Resellers. You would be at the very least at a disadvantage because they can offer the product plus the training and many offer free training as part of the purchase package.

My first question would be whether you could get this moving fast enough to be of benefit: I don't know how long it takes to teach someone to do payroll - just the basics isn't very long IMO, but then there are all the 'extras'.

My next is whether you'd need to be insured: you teach someone to do payroll, something goes wrong, they say they weren't trained adequately ...

We outsource our payroll, and I rely on our provider to make sure we get things like SSP, SMP, student loans etc right, plus they sort out the P45s and new starters correctly.

RTI's not a trivial thing to deal with either.

Then there's what DCodd says.
