Are you writing a dance studio business plan? If YES, here is a sample dance studio financial projection, budget, profit & loss statement. It is very necessary to first determine the ways through which funds for our business will be generated.
This is exactly what we have done. Hence, Ancient ‘n’ Modern® Dance Studio is a business that will be owned by Dr. Maryjane Caster – McDowell and she will run the business with her business partner for many years Ms. Ella Jacobs. They are the sole financial of the business which is why they decided to restrict the sourcing of the start – up capital for the business to just three major sources. These are the areas we intend generating our start – up capital;
Generating Funding / Startup Capital for Ancient ‘n’ Modern® Dance Studio
- Generate part of the start – up capital from personal savings and sale of his stocks
- Generate part of the start – up capital from friends and other extended family members
- Generate a larger chunk of the startup capital from the bank (loan facility).
N.B: We have been able to generate about 0,000 Personal savings ,000 and soft loan from family members ,000 and we are at the final stages of obtaining a loan facility of 0,000 from our bank. All the papers and document has been duly signed and submitted, the loan has been approved and any moment from now our account will be credited.
Our Startup Budget and Expenditure
In setting up a dance studio business, the amount or cost will depend on the approach and scale you want to undertake. If you intend to go big by renting a place, then you would need a higher amount of capital as you would need to ensure that your employees are well taken care of, and that your dance studio environment is conducive enough for the students to learn.
This means that the start-up can either be low or high depending on your goals, vision and aspirations for your business. The materials and equipment that will be used are nearly the same cost everywhere, and any difference in prices would be minimal and can be overlooked.
As for the detailed cost analysis for starting a dance studio business; it might differ in other countries due to the value of their money. However, this is what it would cost us in the United of America;
- Business incorporating fees in the United States of America will cost – $750.
- The budget for Liability insurance, permits and license will cost – $3,500
- Acquiring a space or warehouse that will be converted into the dance studio and that can accommodate the number of students that will come to learn various dance steps for at least 6 months (Re – Construction of the facility inclusive) will cost – $100,000.
- Equipping the dance studio (studio floor, sound system, DVD players, Pianos, Flat Screen TVs, computers, printers, projectors, markers, pens and pencils, furniture, telephones, filing cabinets, and electronics) will cost – $100,000
- Launching an official Website will cost – $500
- Amount need to pay bills and staff members for at least 2 to 3 months – $50,000
- Additional Expenditure such as Business cards, Signage, Adverts and Promotions will cost – $5,000
TOTAL EXPENSES: $259,750
While a home tutor might not have to incur all these expenses but going by the above report, we will need an average of $350,000 to start a standard but medium scale dance studio business in the United States of America.
