I have been doing pole fitness, and aerial acrobatics on/off for 5+ years. I love it!
However, I have to drive a minimum of 45 minutes to another city ( which happens to be in another state (superfluous) to access a studio that offers these services. Ergo the "OFF", in my last 5+ years of going on and off.
So I want to start a studio closer. And I believe it could be her lucrative and financially successful, with a hella lot of hard work, but that's no problem.
So let's discuss location. One of the 2 main reasons I think it is a profitable idea is my location. I live in a fast growing town with a local Navy Base. Navy Base=Navy wives, and want to be navy wife's and/fiancee's. This population of women are the ideal type of clientele. I think that is due to many reasons, age, willingness to accept the risks ( public judgement), desire for a different workout option, benefits of this type of workout area (husband/boyfriend/fiancee leaves on deployment for 3-12 months), women want to prepare for homecoming by having a sexy body and feeling sexy.
The 2nd reason I think it had potential to be a successful venture, is competition. There is none! There isn't one fitness studio locally available for this area.
BARRIERS: MONEY!
The studio would have a high startup cost. Actually a majority of the cost is the startup, the rest of selling my ( and other instructors) time teaching.
I know that is just the tip of the iceberg, but it's the primary reason I cannot get this idea off the ground.
I don't specialize in business, actually I'm a nurse. So I know I'll have to work for awhile until I start getting any profit, which I believe would be 2+ years, based on my research.
I realize that I'll have a million other challenges, and I won't mention them here, I just want to say I'm aware of that.
So, I'm back to square 1! I need someone willing to be silent partner, I need money and I have no idea where to get that. Please don't tell me to go to bank. I don't have that type of credit, really it's just not an option. That's why I'm here.
What are my financing options? How do I find someone willing to invest in this type of business?
I appreciate you help. Please don't be rude. Or just tell me why I CAN'T do it. Or why it wouldn't succeed. There are enough resources out there with negative, but realistic information in that respect. Please, try to keep your responses positive when possible.
Thanks in advance,
