Hit A Homer With 7 Step Sports Bar Business Plans
You're up to bat: What kind of sports bar business plan do you want? Actually, your sports bar could go by many names, such as:
- Sports bar and grill
- Sports tavern
- Sports grill
- Sports pub
- Sports lounge
- Bar and grill
- Billiards hall
- Bar and Tavern
- Sports grille
- Sportsbar
Whatever distinction you choose, it is probably not cheap, and the approach to acquiring your financing is essentially the same.
Fortunately for you, many sports bars do well, no matter what the economy. That will make it easier for you to meet the demand of your lender when you present your business plan for your sports bar.
The Most Challenging Section Of A Sports Bar Business Plan
Managing a sports bar is no walk in the park. We assume you have substantial experience here or you wouldn't be opening your own.
If your is a new business, the hardest part will likely be proving the demographic component of your business plan. It doesn't matter if it is the greatest sports bar in the city, if it is located in the wrong place the customers just won't come.
So determine
- Who your customers will be
- Where they work, and
- Where they live
Your new landlord will likely show you great stats on drive by traffic and local businesses. Honestly, these don't mean much. And remember: the landlord wants you to sign on the dotted line, so he is highly motivated.
Get your stats from a more neutral source. An excellent starting point is your city or county planning department. Really take the time to get to know those folks well. It can make the difference between a great sports bar business plan and one that is only so-so. They can tell you all about new projects on the books, home ownership, ages of residents, types of businesses in the area, and lots more that you won't even think to ask.
These are your "go to" people. And the stats you get here will be honored by your banker as well.
Then, when you've got the basic information pulled together, this is the business plan set that will help you get your funding:

Customer Reviews For The Sports Bar Business Plan
Overall rating: (4.7 out of 33 reviews). Here's a sampling:
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 sports bar business plan book, I am re-structuring my approach now. I have a suspicion that it is going to work this time."
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. Thank you for your help in making this dream a reality."
Tom Bailey (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 like our business plan, and we are good to go!"
