Writing A Business Plan:
Your Dance Studio Business Plan -- in 7 Steps

What Kind of Businesses Benefit from the Dance Studio Business Plan?

Well, lots and lots of them, from professional dance schools to ballet instructors to hip hop dance teams.

The Biggest Hurdle In Your Dance Studio Business Plan

Nobody is going to question that you know your craft, whether that is tango or tae kwan do.  Your expertise is a given.  Show off your awards within the context of "this is how I will attract clients", but don't expect it to impress your lender much.

There are other, far more important things that your lender will want to see in your dance studio business plan, such as

FULL DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

You may believe that there are sufficient potential clients to operate your business profitably.  After all, you love what you do and expect that others will too.  What is harder is proving that the client base exists.  To find your client base, you will likely need to get a bit creative.  For example,

• Look for clubs and organizations in the area that will back you, and actually count their members. 
• Get pledge cards from a substantial segment of your customer base.
• Put together your advertising/promotion campaign before going for funding.  Break it out by publication, cost, distribution.  Use numbers to prove your marketability wherever possible.

PLAN B

Really strut your business savvy by having a Plan B ready, just in case something goes wrong along the way, and maybe even a Plan C.  Few entrepreneurs do this, and most should. 

SUCCESS BREEDS SUCCESS

If you've operated a successful studio before, don't be shy about it.  Show how you overcame obstacles and made it a success.  Demonstrate how you will build on that success now to make it an even bigger success.

In fact, brag a bit about all the entrepreneurial success you have enjoyed.  Having had successful businesses in other areas will definitely help you here.

And if there have been no successes anywhere?  Well, you are likely to have a tough time.

OK.  Your ducks are in a row.  Now what?  Well, grab a copy of the 7 Step Dance Studio Business Plan and start pulling it all together.
