How would I go about opening a music venue/ music store?
Someday I would like to open up a small, intimate music venue where local bands play. How would I go about doing this? What education should I have, and what do I need to know before going into this business? Will it be worth it?
Know about business & know about music and local culture. A business degree with a minor in sociology and possibly music wouldn’t hurt.
The steps for opening a business are pretty basic, check out sba.gov for general info and then begin building a business plan. Details will vary depending on your state, county and city and what other types of businesses are in your area.
Your best bet is to be educated and do the research needed to create and run a good business. Stay current in local business, music and cultural trends so you are constantly in touch with your audience/customers. Get involved with local music/cultural organizations in order to stay networked with the key people in your community.
Whether it’s worth it or not is kind of up to you. If it’s something your passionate about and can see yourself doing for five or ten years - I would give it a try. Good Luck!
