Answer 1

Well first of all you don't need a college degree to own a night club or dance club.

Second is that you need a backer one who will put up some of the monies and you have to put up the rest say about 30,000 dollars give or take if you have nearly that much saved and i suggest that you get yourself a partner who will go in on your investment and a silent partner (backer).

License yes you will need a license if you are going to be serving liqueur and beer.

To find a good DJ put an ad in the paper.

Now you are gonna need staff, bartenders, bar backs, waiters waitress, doorman ( to check ID'S) bouncers, if trouble breaks out if you don't want to hire bouncers than get some security manager (unless you want to manage and run it).

Location, you'll need a good location one with easy access of getting in and out of your club one that will drawn a young demographic (18 and over, 18 to get in but 21 to buy drinks with the expect ion of soda drinks)

Answer 2

need money

Answer 3

well I wouldn't say that you absolutely need a degree but it might help to take some business management courses or something along those lines just so you can get a feel for what you need and what it takes to own and operate a business

I don’t know how accurate of a guestament on the cost because I don’t know where you want to open it realestate cost vary by a lot depending on their where location. but begin looking for land that is for sale in the area you wish to open the club in.

you are going to need to get a license for the club to serve drinks for sure. you will also need a couple good bartenders you can put an add out to the paper or to a unemployment line asking for not only bartenders but bouncers, D.Js, janitors, maintenance and managers who will help make everything run smoothly.

to serve drinks: find good bartenders and make the club have a signature drink.

Also find a good theme like:

glow in the dark- buy some black lights and tell your guests to wear a lot of white so they glow! and hand out glow sticks, earrings, bracelets, necklaces etc.  get lots of strobe lights and fun color lights. Also have some different crazy nights like Sunday is foam and bubble party night.

Also find a good contractor with a good work team for the building

You are also going to need sponsors that you could sell parts of walls for advertizing. You will prolly need to take out a loan as well.    Good luck and have fun!!
