My friend and I were a little messed up one day and we decided that we were gonna start a club when i got out of college and he got out of the marines...no we were just f-ing around BUT I started thinking...How hard would it be to actually start a club.....how much (on estimate) would it cost to even think of starting a club....what licenses and other things would i need...and then I thought to my self...is this even realistic?....could any of the TA veterans help me out with some of these questions or fill me in on questions i should of thought but didn't? I mean think about it...owning your own club...oh S***! i didnt even think of a name hahaha...anyways i just thought it be cool to see some of your idea's......

it really depends in what area you are.

i know a RICH guy opened a club here in the LA area and closed down before a year. too much headache he said. i think he also said its a 'mafia' business. the big guys can wipe you away so easily unless you are built strong

In order to build and maintain this club, you'll need to hire a series of two hundred stout dwarves, each with a name more outrageous than the last. Unfortunately, I do not think there are enough Lucky Charms in the world to pay off that many Dwarves.

Umm ya at Minimum... I can only say here in Atlanta but when we looked at it... ABout 1 million would be needed for a normal small club to open the doors and run with enough capital to last...

With some of the bigger clubs here, (Which are nothing like a SUPER CLUB) Triple that figure and you got yourself a ball park figure... Oh ya, and good luck getting a bank loan for that...

Not to say it can not be done because it is always in the back of my mind but there is alot to overcome...

Oh ya and you gotta think about where you can do it, LA, NYC, and Miami are too controled to move into... Cities close to them would not work because people would just go to those cities... You need to go to Denver, Dallas, Atlanta, ect to find the need and the desire to make it work...

That is just my 2 cents

That's why most clubs have like on average 4 owners... Not many people can front that kind of initial bill plus building up costs...

denver would be a wise choice. denvers club scene totally lacks, apart from the church which is a banging place, id check it out there.

it's actually an old church downtown that was renovated into a club...




places like Denver have a great crowd, but really only 1-2 real clubs with decent lineups to choose from. it would be a great place to have a club i think...

dude you have to be sooo fucking rich to start a club... usually... clubowners never start as clubowners they start thier own business and expand thier business by starting a club.. so dude ... i dont think its a good idea to start a your business with a club...

if you wana hit....... you hit big or never hit
