Nightclub, Dance Classes Business Plan


E3 Playhouse is a downtown entertainment and education venue. The establishment will provide a live entertainment venue; a restaurant; community-based courses in music and the arts; a retail component offering arts-based retail merchandise; and venue rental services for the Santa Cruz area.

E3 Playhouse is in a start-up position, with a beginning date of July 2004. This business plan is used to forecast cash flow and profit, estimate ongoing and start-up costs, and identify revenue streams. The company plans to lease space in June 2004 and build the space over three months. We anticipate opening the doors to the public in mid September. The company will be operating on a July through Juniper fiscal year.

Michael Horne is the company’s CEO. Michael Horne is an experienced manager of live entertainment venues in Santa Cruz. In fact, he has owned and operated a similar venue for six consecutive years. The management team is headed by owner Wes Anthony. Wes Anthony is an experienced musician and educator who is uniquely qualified in developing entertainment and education venues.

The nightclub and bar industry is shifting toward a more entertainment-oriented concept. These venues offer guests a lively place to meet and mingle as well as an opportunity to take part in entertainment via interactive contests, theme nights and other events. We intend to heavily utilize entertainment-oriented marketing in an effort to withstand the perpetual shift in trends and cater to as large a client base as possible.

It covers 6,600 square feet and will house the company’s corporate office. The dance club and bar will accommodate 200-400 people. Santa Cruz will have an entertainment venue with state-ofthe-art audio and lighting systems. The overall appearance of the venue will be welcoming and clean. The demographics are favorable with little competition from other venues and bars that specialize in dance music.

E3 will generate sales through seven revenue streams that comprise the company’s products and services:


  • Membership Charges

  • Education Courses

  • Food and Beverage

  • Gate/Entertainment

  • Retail Merchandise

  • Arcade

  • Website Rental

Managing seven separate revenue streams requires ramping up each one individually, ensuring that each area performs well before developing the next revenue stream. Food/Beverage and Gate/Entertainment will provide the best stable revenue streams.

The venue appeals to four major market segments:


  • Young Professionals

  • College Students

  • Tourism and Business Travelers

  • Senior Citizens

The E3 Playhouse’s Santa Cruz central location, demographics and low competition are key advantages to its success. The proposed venue provides a solution for the region’s lack of live entertainment venues or social atmosphere.

This business plan estimates start-up costs and ongoing expenses, identifies revenue streams, and forecasts net cash flow and profits. Wes Anthony pays $190,260 as capital to start up and operate the business.

The total investment of the owner is $190,260. With several months of building out a suitable leased area, we anticipate that the start-up will be in July 2004. A grand opening is scheduled for September 2004. Our goal month to break even is July 2005. The per-unit variable cost for each unit is 60%. Fixed monthly costs are $26,558.

Due to start-up costs, our total net profit for the first year is approximately negative ($161,000). The second year forecast shows a positive profit of about $122,400. In our third year, it will rise to $129,000. Our net cash flow for the first year is projected at $22,000, increasing to $93,000 in our second year and $81,700 in our third year. The cash balance in our first year will be $23,000. It will rise to $117,000 the second year and $198,000 the third year. Our accounting net worth will be negative at the end our first year (around $10,000), rising to positive $62,000 in our second and $142,000 respectively in our third years.

The owner is aware of the highly risky nature of launching an entertainment-based restaurant establishment. The owner’s invested capital and expenses could be lost if the venture is unsuccessful. The owner may consider investing in partners if the venture is not adequately capitalized. The return-on investments will be reviewed by the owner to see if additional capital can be provided. In the event that net profitability cannot be attained, the owner will take sequential steps to exit the venture, as outlined in the Exit Strategy section of the Financial Plan.
