Excerpt from the Workbook 7 Step Sports Bar Business Plan:

Sports bar business plans focus on three major elements: entertainment, entertainment and entertainment!

KEY CONSIDERATION

Whether your sports bar or tavern will feature massive TV screens throughout, or slick billiards tables, there is just no doubt that your clientele is there for fun. And that's a major distinction from a "business meeting" kind of place.

STRONGEST ADVANTAGE OF SPORTS BARS AND TAVERNS

Everyone knows the territory. And everyone enjoys it. Few, few people do not have a favorite sport. Fewer still are those who don't enjoy company while they watch it. So the "desire" is pretty much a given.

STRONGEST DISADVANTAGE

The liquor license. The buildout. The equipment. The lease. The advertising. Not to mention the initial payroll. It is all expensive. There aren't many investors who would trust a rookie with that amount of money. In no uncertain terms, your job is to prove that you've got what it takes to run that business profitably.

OVERCOMING THE DISADVANTAGE WITH YOUR SPORTS BAR BUSINESS PLAN

A sports bar business plan focuses on a defined geographic area.
No matter where your business is located, it is imperative that you define who your clientele will be. Look closely at demographic information to identify

  • Number of people
  • Income level
  • Educational level
  • Ethnic hubs nearby
  • Family composition
  • Number and location of competing sports bars

... and anything else you can dig up.

Prove that you have the experience to make the sports bar business successful.

This is no training ground for newbies. Really take the time in your sports bar business plan to outline where you got all your experience.

  • Spotlight challenges you have met and overcome.
  • Tell how you have handled tough economic times.
  • Show how you have selected and trained a strong staff.
  • Show your accountability.
  • Go in with professional drawings of what the sports bar will look like.
  • Present a full blown marketing plan for your sports bar.

Getting the attention of lenders for a sports bar business plan is no cake walk. Everyone has a dream of owning their own bar. Few have the talent to make it successful. Demonstrate how you will accomplish that.

Identify your core clientele for your sports bar marketing plan

Hit the decks running with a full blown marketing plan ready. More than anything else, this is what will demonstrate to the lender/investor that you have what it takes to successfully operate your sports bar. Your lender may not especially enjoy playing pool, but she will recognize a great marketing plan.

Devote a minimum of 5-8 pages of your sports bar business plan to your specific marketing plan.  

  • Identify your core clientele.  
  • Identify the number of your core clientele in your immediate area.  
  • Have some initial ads or promotions developed to demonstrate your skill in this area.  
  • If you have any celebrity endorsements, flaunt it.
  • Detail too how you will get free publicity -- this will be essential for your success.

Base your projections on valid, provable statistics. No pie in the sky here -- it just won't fly.

OTHER PLUSSES IN A SPORTS BAR BUSINESS PLAN

This is a business that demands a broad spectrum of knowledge and experience, from health department regulations to parking and advertising issues. There is little on the job training. If you are going to successfully operate a sports bar or tavern of any size, know your stuff before ever approaching a lender or investor.  

You will need to dig for the local rules and regs that will affect your business. Don't be afraid to apprentice yourself to a non-competing sports bar just so you can learn the inside scoop. Prove that you have the inside scoop, no matter where it came from, and that your business plan takes these rules and regs into consideration.

Put particular emphasis on how you will promote yourself as a sports bar. It's fine to say that "word of mouth" will make your business soar, but in truth you will need more. Print advertising can be devilish expensive, so look to all the less expensive, and free, marketing tools that you can find, like articles about your business, promotion at local Chamber of Commerce events, business fair events, etc.

FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR SPORTS BAR BUSINESS PLANS AND YOUR MARKETING PLAN FOR YOUR SPORTS BAR BUSINESS

For statistical information on the sports bar industry for your marketing plan, go to BizMiner.  

At the home page, do a KEYWORD search for "tavern". You will be taken to a page where you can choose between an Industry Financials and Market Research. You would do well to get both.
These two reports compile information from nearly 20,000 taverns, providing you with industry averages for all sizes of bar.

Be sure to look in the left hand column of that page for the LOCAL MARKET VITALITY SERIES. You will find a wealth of information on your area, with age, income level, housing type, educational level, etc. -- everything you need to target your customer base in your catering business plan. 

YOUR LIKELY LENDER/INVESTOR

The SBA is usually your best bet.  

If, however, you are planning on regional or national expansion, or if this is NOT your first sports bar, check out appropriate venture capital groups in your area. And be sure to check out the newest development in venture capital: venture lending. For more adventuresome businesses, be sure to check out angel investors.

YOUR ONLINE PRESENCE

Odds are that you will want to promote your business online.

Potential guests, as well as lenders/investors, want to see what you can do. So strut your stuff. See the best web host for more information on our preferred web host.

YOUR SPORTS BAR BUSINESS PLAN

There are a number of different angles you can take with your sports bars, such as:

  • Local sports bar
  • Sports bar restaurant
  • Sports bar and grill
  • Sports tavern
  • Sports grill
  • Sports pub
  • Sports lounge
  • Bar and grill
  • Billiards
  • Bar and tavern
  • Sports grille
  • Sportsbar

Sports bar business plans will help them all.  A sports bar business is too often seen as a hobby business for people with time on their hands. It is your job to demonstrate that yours is a very serious business, with very real potential for success.

Betts Hanover

You would think New York would have plenty of room for a sports bar for women.  I've had a tough time convincing bankers that I don't mean a "girlie" bar -- I mean a "sports bar" that features women's sports.  With your business plan book, I am re-structuring in my business plan now.  Maybe this time it will work.

Bob O'Shea

South Carolina loves its sports.  Everyone does.  So my sports bar is family oriented, with room for kids games and pool tables as well as a closed circuit TV area.  Looks like a winner to me.

 Tom Bailey from River Fork

Very, very helpful.  Thanks.

Kristi McWhorter

No "pool hall" for us.  This is a gorgeous billiards room.  The deep, rich wood tones will glisten when we are finished.  It helps that we are affiliating with one of the premier membership clubs in the area, and our banker just happens to be a member!  At any rate, he says he likes our business plan, so we are good to go.
