Soccer is a popular sport in Wingback County.  Currently there are 6,000 children participating in the youth soccer leagues, and 3,000 adults participating in the adult league.  The number of players are growing dramatically.  There are two factors that are impacting the popularity of soccer.     

• The first is the large number of children in the county under the age of 12.  There are approximately 30,000 children in the county under the age of 12.  The projection is that the percentage of children under the age of 12 will continue to grow for the next five years.  The most popular sport with this age group is soccer.   
• The second factor is the growing number of young people between the ages of 24 – 35 that are participating in team sports.  Participation in coed softball has increased by 20% each year for the past three years.  The demand for fields has led to the county building four new playing fields this year.  Adult outdoor soccer league has grown by 50% over the past two years.  Currently, there are 24 adult league teams participating in the outdoor city soccer league.

Strategy and Implementation Summary

Dribbling Indoor Soccer will aggressively pursue membership and team registration by discounting both the membership fee and the team fee.   

• Membership Fee : Dribbling Indoor Soccer will offer a 25% discount on membership fees for the first six months.   
• Team Fee : The team fee will be reduced by $100 if the team registers before the early sign-up deadline.   

In addition, we will sell the facility rental potential to local schools, churches, and civic organizations.   

5.1 Marketing Strategy

Marketing programs The marketing strategy for Dribbling will differ throughout the year, depending upon demand for the facility.  During the winter, when the weather is bad, and most leagues play indoors we will have to do very few marketing or advertising campaigns.  During the summer however we must make sure that the center retains top of mind share with local recreational soccer players, and parents looking for activities for their children during school holidays.   

Marketing programs during the summer will consist of:

• Discounts: e.g. rent for one hour, get the second hour free.   
• Advertise in the sports section of the local paper.   
• Post fliers at other sports and recreation facilities.   

Pricing All league participants are required to become members of Dribbling Indoor Soccer.  The annual fee for individuals is $40.  Team registration per season is $700.   

Teams can also purchase clinics.  A 1/2 day clinic, that can include up to 15 people will cost $400.  Children’s clinics/camps will be priced at $80 for five half day sessions.   

The fields will be available for rent on an hourly basis to members.  Rental of a field will cost $55 per hour during the day and $65 per hour during the evenings and weekends.   

5.2 Sales Strategy

Dribbling Indoor Soccer will sell the indoor facility to the current outdoor soccer teams.  We will operate a booth at the city’s soccer fields on the weekends for the two months before Dribbling opens.  In addition, we will call the team captains and coaches directly and sell the quality and convenience of the facility.  Dribbling Indoor Soccer will offer membership rates for field rental to these teams to get them in the facility.  Spring is notorious for poor field conditions prior to the beginning of the soccer season.   

During the first two weekends in April, Dribbling Indoor Soccer will offer free indoor soccer clinics for children and adults.   

5.2.1 Sales Forecast

The following is the sales forecast for the next three years.  The clinics, cafe, and the soccer shop will have direct cost of sales.  The clinics will be hiring the coaches to lead the clinics.  The soccer shop’s direct cost will be the wholesale price of the shop’s inventory.   

Dribbling Indoor Soccer will make a strong push to expand league play in the summer.  The summer is usually softball and baseball season and only competitive soccer teams play during the summer months.  These competitive teams represent only 10% of young soccer players.  The outdoor adults soccer leagues also don’t operate during the summer months, leaving a large number of recreational soccer players with opportunity to play.   

The only slow period for sales will be in November and December.  Though league sessions end in mid-November, December has proven to be a poor month to begin a new league session.   

Management Summary management summary will include information about who's on your team and why they're the right people for the job, as well as your future hiring plans.">

Les and Noh Klew will manage the day-to-day operations of Dribbling Indoor Soccer.  Both Les and Noh are considered very people-oriented and excellent supervisors of staff.  They are familiar with every aspect of the sport and both are certified to serve as officials for indoor soccer games.   

Les has been instrumental in the popularity of soccer in Wingback County.  He was a founding member of the Wingback County Soccer Council.  At the time there was only a handful of people interested in sport.  Over the next five years of his leadership, the Council acquired a budget of $200,000, a staff of six and became the major catalyst for the city’s new outdoor soccer facility which will be hosting this year’s Region 2 regional competition.   

Noh was also an important influence in the development of soccer in Wingback County.  Noh served as the Council’s marketing and fundraising coordinator for six years.  She increased donations by 15% each year over that period of time.  She established the Council’s marketing campaign to increase youth and adult soccer teams in Wingback County.

Market Overview

National Market

Key figures from the French indoor football industry

58% of French people say that they practice a sport at least once a week (74% among 18-24 year olds). 28% of those who practice sports go to indoor sports halls and complexes, (36% for under-35s).

Despite football being voted France's favourite sport, it's only the 7th most-played sport in the country (when counting all sports available). The French Football Federation has over 2.2 million members - 92% of whom are men and 8% women.

Futsal is a type of football that is supported by the FFF. As of 2018, there were 600 Futsal clubs in France and 30,000 members.

Futsal gained popularity in France in the 2000s and the market has grown since. It reached a turnover of €50 million in 2017.

Futsal appeals to the French because it offers a more accessible alternative to traditional football for people seeking regular physical activity.

Caen has a strong football culture, thanks to its professional team and the presence of a highly developed university sports programme.

The city also has an established futsal market with several teams already present and tournaments organised on a regular basis.

Our marketing strategy will focus mainly on the following segments:

• Office workers who view indoor football as a way to relieve work pressure and stay fit
• Students who represent a significant part of Caen's population and help us max out occupancy rate during off-peak hours, given the free time that they have

Financial Highlights

We expect to achieve a turnover of €206,634 in year 1.

Loyalty actions stated in our marketing plan should enable us to increase our occupancy rate over the coming years and help us achieve a turnover of €227,857 in year 3.

We expect EBITDA to be positive over the duration of the plan. But, a high level of depreciation in year one means an initial loss is likely.

In year 3, EBITDA should reach €20,146 (with a 8.84% margin).

The business should be sufficiently capitalised to enable us to meet our loan repayments while retaining sufficient headroom to deal with unforeseen circumstances.

Kick it like Caen will require an initial investment of €145,000.

Our partners will contribute €70,000 (€10,000 in share capital and €60,000 in directors loan), i.e. 48% of the amount. We would like to obtain a bank loan of €75,000 to complete the financing.

Indoor football venue business plan template faq.

A indoor football venue business plan is a written document that sets out the commercial, operational and financial objectives of the company over the next 3 to 5 years.

It consists of two main parts:

• A written part that presents, in detail, your indoor football venue business, the team, your strategy, and your medium-term objectives.
• A financial forecast that highlights the expected profitability of the indoor football venue and the initial funding requirements.

The lack of business planning is one of the main reasons why more than 50% of startups fail within 5 years. If you're starting a indoor football venue, writing a business plan is a must-have in order to reduce the risk of failure of your project.

Business plans are also required by most lenders and investors in order to secure financing, therefore a business plan is also highly recommended if you're seeking a loan or equity investment for your indoor football venue.

Writing a indoor football venue business plan without The Business Plan Shop can be both error-prone and time-consuming - whether you're new to entrepreneurship or experienced:

• You'll need to research the structure of a business plan, what to include in each section, and what key elements investors and lenders expect to see
• You may encounter writer's block (especially if it's the first time you're writing a business plan for your indoor football venue)
• You'll need to create a financial forecast on a spreadsheet which requires a solid understanding of accounting and financial modelling in order to be done without error
• You'll need to spend hours formatting financial data on Excel or Sheets before it's ready to integrate into your business plan
• Any updates to your indoor football venue business plan or financial forecast will need to be done manually

Luckily for you, The Business Plan Shop's online platform and indoor football venue business plan template guide you through every stage of writing a business plan, so that you can spend more time managing and growing your business instead.

Our editor follows a best-in-class structure for professional business plans. Each section and subsection includes examples and instructions to help you, while our business plan templates provide further inspiration if you're stuck.

Our financial forecasting software helps you create a forecast and integrate it into your business plan with ease. Anytime you update your data, your business plan automatically updates.

And with our forecasting software all the calculations are done for you, without errors.

The budget to start and run an indoor football venue will depend on the exact concept and location.

The more pitches that an indoor football venue has, the higher startup costs are likely to be. Some businesses like to "theme" each pitch based on an iconic stadium (Wembley, Maracana, Olympiastadion, etc.). Doing so will also increase the cost, as each pitch will have to be decorated and slightly refined to match how the stadium might look (a bigger stadium warrants a wider pitch).

In our business plan template, one of the partners will referee indoor football tournaments. However, if you were to hire a qualified referee, it would increase your startup costs considerably.

As an example, in our indoor football venue business plan template the total initial funding requirement amounted to €145,000 (c. $155,000 or £125,000), with the founders contributing €70,000 (c. $75,000 or £60,000).

In order to assess the exact budget for your indoor football venue idea, you need to do a financial forecast using a financial projection tool such as the one we offer .

The package we offer at The Business Plan Shop goes way beyond a simple blank template you need to fill. With our platform you get:

• Detail your direct competitors. Give an overview of your target customers. 
• Provide a snapshot of your marketing strategy. Identify the key members of your team.

Company Overview

In your company overview, you will detail the type of indoor sports complex business you are operating.

For example, you m ight specialize in one of the following types of indoor sports complex businesses:

• Indoor sport courts: In this type of indoor sports complex, a variety of specific courts are offered for game play or practice; including basketball, racquetball, handball, and volleyball. 
• Indoor field arenas: Including soccer, baseball, a running track and other field-sized options, an indoor arena offers a wide variety of sporting-options for field play. 
• Indoor pool and water play parks: This type of indoor sports complex provides a comprehensive water-play experience for families. In addition to lap pools and dive pools, kiddie pools and splash pads are set up for children of all ages. 
• Indoor gymnastics complex: An indoor sports complex equipped for gymnastics will include training and equipment; such as the pommel horse, tumbling mats, rings, parallel bars, ceiling swings, high-low bars, and a variety of other elements to build and strengthen gymnastic skills.

In addition to explaining the type of indoor sports complex business you will operate, the company overview needs to provide background on the business.

Include answers to questions such as:

• When and why did you start the business?
• What milestones have you achieved to date? Milestones could include the number of soccer leagues under contract, the national certification of swimming teams, the  X number of gymnastics clients served, etc.
• Your legal indoor sports complex business structure. Are you incorporated as an S-Corp? An LLC? A sole proprietorship? Explain your legal structure here.

Industry Analysis

In your industry or market analysis, you need to provide an overview of the indoor sports complex industry.

While this may seem unnecessary, it serves multiple purposes.

First, researching the indoor sports complex industry educates you. It helps you understand the market in which you are operating. 

Secondly, market research can improve your marketing strategy, particularly if your analysis identifies market trends.

The third reason is to prove to readers that you are an expert in your industry. By conducting the research and presenting it in your plan, you achieve just that.

The following questions should be answered in the industry analysis section of your sports facility business plan:

• How big is the indoor sports complex industry (in dollars)?
• Is the market declining or increasing?
• Who are the key competitors in the market?
• Who are the key suppliers in the market?
• What trends are affecting the industry?
• What is the industry’s growth forecast over the next 5 – 10 years?
• What is the relevant market size? That is, how big is the potential target market for your indoor sports complex business? You can extrapolate such a figure by assessing the size of the market in the entire country and then applying that figure to your local population.

Customer Analysis

The customer analysis section of your indoor sports complex business plan must detail the customers you serve and/or expect to serve.

The following are examples of customer segments: 

• Individuals who want to improve personal strength or aptitude in a sport
• Parents who seek training for their children in a sport or individual skill
• Families who want to enjoy physical exercise and play time together 
• Teams who are looking for a stable indoor environment in which to regularly play
• Corporations who are seeking an indoor team-building atmosphere

As you can imagine, the customer segment(s) you choose will have a great impact on the type of indoor sport complex business you operate. Clearly, individuals would respond to different marketing promotions than corporations, for example.

Try to break out your target customers in terms of their demographic and psychographic profiles. With regards to demographics, including a discussion of the ages, genders, locations, and income levels of the potential customers you seek to serve.

Psychographic profiles explain the wants and needs of your target customers. The more you can recognize and define these needs, the better you will do in attracting and retaining your customers. Ideally you can speak with a sample of your target customers before writing your plan to better understand their needs.

Competitive Analysis

Your competitive analysis should identify the indirect and direct competitors your business faces and then focus on the latter.

Direct competitors are othe r indoor sports complex businesses. 

Indirect competitors are options that customers may choose instead of your direct competitors. For example, families may choose to use a public pool or park, sports teams may opt for outdoor sports fields, or individuals may choose to build physical skills using equipment at home. You need to mention such competition, as well.

For each direct competitor, provide an overview of their business and document their strengths and weaknesses. Unless you once worked at your competitors’ businesses, it will be impossible to know everything about them. But you should be able to find out key things about them such as

• What types of customers do they serve?
• What type of indoor sports complex business do they operate?
• What is their pricing (premium, low, etc.)?
• What are they good at or known for?
• What are their weaknesses?

With regards to the last two questions, think about your answers from the customers’ perspective. And don’t be afraid to ask your competitors’ customers what they like most and least about them.

The final part of your competitive analysis section is to document your areas of competitive advantage. For example:

• Will you provide options for sports professionals who need superior service?
• Will you offer services, such as sports training that your competition doesn’t?
• Will you provide better customer service?
• Will you offer customized amenities or services in the changing rooms?

Think about ways you will outperform your competition and document them in this section of your plan.

Marketing Plan

Traditionally, a marketing plan includes the four P’s: Product, Price, Place, and Promotion. For an sports facility business plan, your marketing strategy should include the following:

Product : In the product section, you should reiterate the type o f indoor sports complex company that you documented in your company overview. Then, detail the specific products or services you will be offering. For example, will you provide instructor-led classes for children to learn how to play basketball, racquetball, handball and volleyball in your indoor courts?

Price : Document the prices you will offer and how they compare to your competitors. Essentially in the product and price sub-sections of yo ur plan, yo u are presenting the services you offer and their prices.

Place : Place refers to the site of your indoor sports complex company. Document where your company is situated and mention how the site will impact your success. For example, is your indoor sports complex business located in a busy urban district, a new residential area, or in a corporate business park ? Discuss how your site might be the ideal location for your customers.

Promotions : The final part of your indoor sports complex marketing plan is where you will document how you will drive potential customers to your location(s). The following are some promotional methods you might consider:

• Advertising in local papers, radio stations and/or magazines
• Reaching out to local websites 
• Distributing flyers
• Engaging in email marketing
• Advertising on social media platforms
• Improving the SEO (search engine optimization) on your website for targeted keywords

Operations Plan

While the earlier sections of your business plan explained your goals, your operations plan describes how you will meet them. Your operations plan should have two distinct sections as follows.

Everyday short-term processes include all of the tasks involved in running your indoor sports complex business, including maintaining customer relationships, providing well-cleaned and maintained sports areas and equipment, and invoicing and servicing of customer accounts.  

Long-term goals are the milestones you hope to achieve. These could include the dates when you expect to book your Xth soccer league, or when you hope to reach $X in revenue. It could also be when you expect to expand your indoor sports complex business to a new city.

Management Team

To demonstrate your indoor sports complex business’ potential to succeed, a strong management team is essential. Highlight your key players’ backgrounds, emphasizing those skills and experiences that prove their ability to grow a company. 

Ideally, you and/or your team members have direct experience in managing indoor sports complex businesses. If so, highlight this experience and expertise. But also highlight any experience that you think will help your business succeed.

If your team is lacking, consider assembling an advisory board. An advisory board would include 2 to 8 individuals who would act as mentors to your business. They would help answer questions and provide strategic guidance. If needed, look for advisory board members with experience in owning or managing an indoor sports complex business or successfully running a gymnastics center or public sports park.

Financial Plan

Your financial plan should include your 5-year financial statement broken out both monthly or quarterly for the first year and then annually. Your financial statements include your income statement, balance s heet, and cash flow statements.

Income Statement

An income statement is more commonly called a Profit and Loss statement or P&L. It shows your revenue and then subtracts your costs to show whether you turned a profit or not.

In developing your income statement, you need to devise assumptions. For example, will you see 50 sports players per day? Or, will you have more than 20 teams on contract for league play each season? And will sales grow by 2% or 10% per year? As you can imagine, your choice of assumptions will greatly impact the financial forecasts for your business. As much as possible, conduct research to try to root your assumptions in reality.

Balance Sheets

Balance sheets show your assets and liabilities. While balance sheets can include much information, try to simplify them to the key items you need to know about. For instance, if you spend $50,000 on building out your indoor sports complex business, this will not give you immediate profits. Rather it is an asset that will hopefully help you generate profits for years to come. Likewise, if a lender writes you a check for $50,000, you don’t need to pay it back immediately. Rather, that is a liability you will pay back over time.

Cash Flow Statement

Your cash flow statement will help determine how much money you need to start or grow your business, and ensure you never run out of money. What most entrepreneurs and business owners don’t realize is that you can turn a profit but run out of money and go bankrupt. 

When creating your Income Statement and Balance Sheets be sure to include several of the key costs needed in starting or growing an indoor sports complex business:

• Cost of sport court lighting, set up, build-out and equipment
• Payroll or salaries paid to staff
• Business insurance
• Other start-up expenses (if you’re a new business) like legal expenses, permits, computer software, and furnishings

Attach your full financial projections in the appendix of your plan along with any supporting documents that make your plan more compelling. For example, you might include your 10-year building lease agreement or a list of early-adopter customers who’ve paid in advance for a 5-year membership.

Writing a business plan for your indoor sports complex business is a worthwhile endeavor. If you follow the template above, by the time you are done, you will truly be an expert. You will understand the indoor sports complex industry, your competition, and your customers. You will develop a marketing strategy and will understand what it takes to launch and grow a successful indoor sports complex business.

The Sports and Recreation Facilities Operation industry is indeed an active industry, players in the industry are basically involved in running indoor or outdoor sports and physical recreation venues, grounds and facilities et al.

It is important to state that the industry does not include businesses such as health centers, fitness centers or gyms et al. The industry is driven by increasing consumer spending on attending sports events and higher participation rates in organized sports especially at community levels.

In recent time, the industry has experienced steady growth in the last five years due to steadily rising consumer expenditure on recreation and culture, and growing spectator sport participation. Despite the fact that overall sport participation is currently at same level as it was in the last five years, participation in amateur sports peaked in 2012 and 2013, which boosted revenue for operators of local, community and grassroots facilities.

Government investment into large-scale sport infrastructure projects is a key source of revenue for industry participants and major redevelopments have also contributed to revenue growth over the last five years.

The Sports and Recreations Facility industry is indeed a very large industry and pretty much thriving in all parts of the world – especially in developed countries such as United States of America, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, Australia and Italy et al.

However, patrons of gyms and fitness centers are anticipated to increasingly pick up membership from less expensive gym and fitness centers as against expensive all-inclusive clubs.

The trend in the sports and recreation facility industry is such that if a sport complex is well positioned in a residential area or a place where people can easily access without much stress, there is the likelihood that the sports and recreation facility will enjoy high patronage.

Just like in other business ventures, the owner of sports and recreation facilities are always looking for ways to increase their market share; they go as far as signing deals with high schools and also community based soccer clubs et al to make use of their facility. Some even go as far as organizing sports competitions on a regular basis.

13. Startup Expenditure (Budget)

If you intend to go big by renting a place, then you would need a good amount of capital as you would need to ensure that your employees are well taken care of, and that your facility is conducive enough for workers to be creative and productive.

This means that the start-up can either be low or high depending on your goals, vision and aspirations for your business. The tools 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 sports and recreation facility; it might differ in other countries due to the value of their money. However, this is what it would cost us to set up Mike Clarkson Sport Complex in the United of America. This is the key areas where we will spend our start – up capital on;

• The Total Fee for Registering the Business in North Carolina – $750.
• Legal expenses for obtaining licenses and permits – $1,500.
• Marketing promotion expenses (8,000 flyers at $0.04 per copy) for the total amount of $10,000.
• Cost for hiring Business Consultant – $5,000.
• Insurance (general liability, workers’ compensation and property casualty) coverage at a total premium – $30,800.
• Cost of accounting software, CRM software and Payroll Software – $3,000
• Cost for leasing facility for the sport and recreation facility – $500,000.
• Cost for facility remodeling – $250,000.
• Other start-up expenses including stationery – $1000
• Phone and utility deposits – $3,500
• Operational cost for the first 3 months (salaries of employees, payments of bills et al) – $40,000
• The cost for Start-up inventory – $15,000
• Cost for acquiring gym and fitness equipment or other sports wares – $200,000
• The cost for the purchase of furniture and gadgets (Computers, Printers, Telephone, TVs, Sound System, snooker board, clippers, tables and chairs et al) – $4,000.
• The cost of Launching a Website – $600
• The cost for our grand opening party – $15,000
• Miscellaneous – $15,000

We would need an estimate of $1.5 million to successfully launch a standard and well – equipped sports and recreations facilities in Asheville – North Carolina.

It is important to state that the testing and evaluating expenses would be high because of the large amount of equipment needed to start up a sports and recreations facility and also the sophistication of the technology used in gyms and fitness centers.

Generating Funding/Startup Capital for Mike Clarkson Sport Complex

Mike Clarkson Sport Complex is a business that will be owned and managed by Mike Clarkson and family. 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;

• 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 $500,000 (Personal savings $350,000 and soft loan from family members $150,000) and we are at the final stages of obtaining a loan facility of $1 M 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.

14. Sustainability and Expansion Strategy

The future of a business lies in the numbers of loyal customers that they have the capacity and competence of the employees, their investment strategy and the business structure. If all of these factors are missing from a business (company), then it won’t be too long before the business close shop.

One of our major goals of starting Mike Clarkson Sport Complex is to build a business that will survive off its own cash flow without the need for injecting finance from external sources once the business is officially running.

We know that one of the ways of gaining approval and winning customers over is to pick up membership in our sports and recreation facility cum gym and fitness center is to equip our facility with state of the art gym and fitness equipment et al.

Mike Clarkson Sport Complex will make sure that the right foundation, structures and processes are put in place to ensure that our staff welfare are well taken of. Our company’s corporate culture is designed to drive our business to greater heights and training and re – training of our workforce is at the top burner.

Steps to Starting an Indoor Soccer Facility Business

1. understand the industry.

The Indoor Sports Facilities Management industry that the indoor soccer facility business falls under is indeed an active industry; players in the industry are basically involved in running indoor or outdoor sports and physical recreation venues, grounds and facilities et al.

It is important to state that the industry does not include businesses such as health centers, fitness centers or gyms et al. The industry is driven by increasing consumer spending on sports events and higher participation rates in organized sports especially at community levels.

The industry experienced steady growth in the last five years due to steadily rising consumer expenditure on recreation and culture, and growing spectator sport participation.

Despite the fact that the overall sport participation is currently at the same level as it was in the last five years, participation in amateur sports peaked in 2012 and 2013 which boosted revenue for operators of local, community and grassroots facilities.

Government investment in large-scale sports projects is a key source of revenue for industry participants and major redevelopment have also contributed to revenue growth over the last five years.

The Indoor Sports Facilities Management industry is indeed a very large industry and pretty much thriving in all parts of the world especially in developed countries such as United States of America, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, Australia and Italy et al.

Statistics has it that in the united states of America alone, there are about 1,579 licensed and registered sports and recreation facilities including those who are into franchising responsible for employing about 14,644 employees and the industry rakes in a whooping sum of $1bn annually with an annual growth rate projected at 1.2 percent.

No establishment can boast of having a lion share of the available market in this industry. The Indoor Sports Facilities Management industry will continue to blossom because children and sports lovers will not relent in looking for a secured facility to play sports.

Despite the fact that the industry seems capital intensive, aspiring entrepreneurs who intend opening their own indoor soccer facilities can still get support from government and also access loans from financial institutions.

Some of the factors that encourage entrepreneurs to start their own indoor soccer facility business could be that the business is a thriving business and the business is highly regulated and with high starting barrier, hence it is open to only serious minded entrepreneurs.

Over and above, starting a sport and recreation facility business in the United States of America can be a bit stressful, it requires enough cash to acquire land large enough to accommodate the sport complex and also cash to equip the facility to meet the standard expected by potential users of the sports complex.

2. Conduct Market Research and Feasibility Studies

• Demographics and Psychographics

The demographic and psychographic composition of those who patronize indoor soccer facilities cut across organizations and individuals.

Schools, football clubs and individuals who don’t have where to play soccer or any indoor games would always source for indoor sports facilities around them hence the demographic composition for an indoor soccer facility is all encompassing.

The truth is that when it comes to playing or watching soccer games, there is indeed a wide range of available customers; every adult and children, both male and female are potential clients.

So, if you are thinking of starting an indoor soccer facility business, then you should make your target demographics all encompassing. It should include individuals, schools, soccer teams, corporate organizations, community associations, religious organizations and tourists within the location where your indoor soccer facility is located.

3. Decide Which Niche to Concentrate On

It is important to state that there is no niche area in this line of business. This is so because indoor soccer facility is a niche in the Indoor Sports Facilities Management industry.

Basically, indoor soccer facilities are facilities where soccer players and lovers go to either play soccer or watch people play soccer. Usually, people pick up membership and also renew their membership annually or as stated by the management of the indoor soccer facility.

The Level of Competition in the Industry

The competition that exists in the indoor soccer facility line of business goes beyond competition amongst indoor soccer facilities within your location, but also among every player in the Indoor Sports Facilities Management industry that also provide facilities for people to play soccer in and around your location. So, it will be right to say that the competition in the indoor soccer facility line of business is tough.

The truth is that no matter the level of competition in an industry, if you have done your due diligence and you brand and promote your services or business properly, you will always make headway in the industry. Just ensure that you provide a highly secured and safe indoor soccer facility for your clients and you know how to attract and reach out to your target market.

4. Know Your Major Competitors in the Industry

It is a known fact that in every industry, there are always brands that perform better or are better regarded by customers and the general public than the others.

Some of these brands are those that have been in the industry for a long time, while others are best known for how they conduct their businesses and the results they have achieved over the years. These are some of the leading indoor soccer facilities in the United States of America and in the globe;

• Soccer Fever
• Sportsplex USA Santee
• Americas Got Soccer
• Good Sports USA
• Pittsburgh Indoor Sports Arena
• Indoor Soccer Center – Bubble Ball Soccer & Knockerball – Los Angeles

• Victory Sports Complex
• Fieldhouse USA-Winter Youth Basketball & Soccer
• We Play Indoor Soccer Complex
• LA Galaxy Soccer Center
• SocrLabs – Indoor soccer development center for explosive speed & agility for elite soccer players
• Glenn Warner Soccer Facility

Economic Analysis

If you are looking towards successfully launching a business and maximizing profits, then you need to ensure that you get your economic and cost analysis right and try as much as possible to adopt best practices in the industry you choose to build a business in.

Indoor soccer facility business is not a Green business in the United States and it is indeed a competitive business, as a matter of fact; you will come across several indoor soccer facilities when you go out there sourcing for a facility where you can play soccer or watch people play soccer.

So, if you are mapping out your economic and cost analysis , you should carry out thorough market survey and costing of the required amount needed to rent a big facility that is large enough to contain a full – sized soccer pitch including spectator’s stand, changing room and enough parking space.

You would have to lay out a synthetic pitch, provide chairs for your spectators, changing room, first aid stand, fire alarm system, multimedia equipment, public address system, commentary box, et al and also the running cost to successfully run the business.

Over and above, if you are considering starting an indoor soccer facility, then your concern should not be limited to the cost of registering the business, securing the required license, leasing and equipping the facility, but also on branding and on how to build a robust clientele base.

5. Decide Whether to Buy a Franchise or Start from Scratch

If you are looking towards starting an indoor soccer facility, you would have to start from the very scratch because you can hardly get the franchise of an indoor soccer facility to buy. It is a business that is open to all and sundry.

Besides starting an indoor soccer facility from the scratch is straightforward and not as complex as people think. With an indoor soccer facility, you should just try as much as possible to get the right business license and permits, secure a standard and secured facility, the required equipment and supply, build business relationship with key stakeholders and then leverage on every marketing tool within your disposal especially the internet to market your services.

Please note that most of the big and successful indoor soccer facilities around started from the scratch and they were able to build a solid business brand. It takes dedication, hard work and determination to achieve business success.

6. Know the Possible Threats and Challenges You Will Face

If you decide to start your own indoor soccer facility today, one of the major challenges you are likely going to face is the presence of well – established indoor soccer facilities and every player in the Indoor Sports Facilities Management industry who also provide facilities for people to play soccer in and around your location. The only way to avoid this challenge is to create your own market.

Some other challenges and threats that you are likely going to face are economic downturn and unfavorable government policies. There is nothing you can do as regards these threats and challenges other than to stay positive that things will work well for you.

7. Choose the Most Suitable Legal Entity (LLC, C Corp, S Corp)

Generally, you have the options of either choosing a general partnership, limited liability company, or even a sole proprietorship for an indoor soccer facility. Ordinarily, sole proprietorship should have been the ideal business structure for a small – scale indoor soccer facility especially if you are just starting out with a moderate start – up capital and covering just a small community.

But if your intention is to grow the business and offer your services to customers all across your state and throughout the United States of America, then choosing sole proprietor is not an option for you. Limited Liability Company, LLC or even general partnership will cut it for you.

Setting up an LLC protects you from personal liability. If anything goes wrong in the business, it is only the money that you invested into the limited liability company that will be at risk. It is not so for sole proprietorships and general partnerships.

Limited liability companies are simpler and more flexible to operate and you don’t need a board of directors, shareholder meetings and other managerial formalities.

These are some of the factors you should consider before choosing a legal entity for your indoor soccer facility; limitation of personal liability, ease of transferability, admission of new owners, investors’ expectation and of course taxes.

If you take your time to critically study the various legal entities to use for your indoor soccer facility with the ability to offer your services to customers all across the city and state that you operate, you will agree that limited liability company; an LLC is most suitable.

You can start this type of business as limited liability company (LLC) and in future convert it to a ‘C’ corporation or an ‘S’ corporation especially when you have the plans of going public.  

8. Choose a Catchy Business Name

As it relates choosing a name for your business, you should be creative because whatever name you choose for your business will go a long way to create a perception of what the business represents.

Usually it is the norm for people to follow the trend in the industry they intend operating from when naming their business. If you are considering starting your own indoor soccer facility, here are some catchy names that you can choose from;

• Winning Team® Indoor Soccer Center, LLC
• Gunners™ Indoor Soccer Arena, LLC
• Sir Thomas McLaren Memorial© Indoor Soccer Center, Inc.
• Larry Star® Indoor Soccer Center, Inc.
• Little Rock Community© Indoor Soccer Center, Inc.
• Saint Paul Community® Indoor Soccer Center, Inc.
• Baton Rouge Community™ Indoor Soccer Facility, Inc.
• Front Views© Indoor Soccer Facility, LLC
• Williams Uriel & Sons® Indoor Soccer Facility, Inc.
• Des Moines Community® Indoor Soccer Arena, Inc.

9. Discuss with an Agent to Know the Best Insurance Policies for You

In the United States and in most countries of the world, you can’t operate a business without having some of the basic insurance policy covers that are required by the industry you want to operate from. So, it is important to create a budget for insurance and perhaps consult an insurance broker to guide you in choosing the best and most appropriate insurance policies for your indoor soccer facility.

Here are some of the basic insurance covers that you should consider purchasing if you want to start your own indoor soccer facility in the United States of America;

• General insurance
• Health insurance
• Liability insurance
• Risk insurance
• Workers Compensation
• Overhead expense disability insurance
• Business owner’s policy group insurance
• Payment protection insurance

10. Protect your Intellectual Property With Trademark, Copyrights, Patents

If you are considering starting your own indoor soccer facility, usually you may not have any need to file for intellectual property protection / trademark. This is so because the nature of the business makes it possible for you to successful run the business without having any cause to challenge anybody in court for illegally making use of your company’s intellectual properties.

But if you just want to protect your company’s logo and other documents or software that are unique to you or even jingles and media production concepts, then you can go ahead to file for intellectual property protection. If you want to register your trademark, you are expected to begin the process by filing an application with the USPTO.

11. Get the Necessary Professional Certification

Aside from your ability to give instructions as it relates to playing soccer and how to effectively officiate soccer games and manage such facility, professional certification is one of the main reasons why some indoor soccer facility owners stand out.

If you want to make an impact in the Indoor Sports Facilities Management industry, you should work towards acquiring all the needed certifications in your area of specialization. You are strongly encouraged to pursue professional certifications; it will go a long way to show your commitment towards the business.

Certification validates your competency and shows that you are highly skilled, committed to your career, and up-to-date in this competitive market. These are some of the certifications you can work towards achieving if you want to run your own indoor soccer facility;

• Certification from the International Facility Management Association (IFMA)
• Relevant Degree or Diploma in Physical and Health Education

Please note that you can successfully run and manage an indoor soccer facility in the United States and in most countries of the world without acquiring professional certifications as long as you have adequate experience cum background in the Indoor Sports Facilities Management industry.

12. Get the Necessary Legal Documents You Need to Operate

The essence of having the necessary documentation in place before launching a business in the United States of America cannot be overemphasized. It is a fact that you cannot successfully run any business in the United States without the proper documentations.

If you do, it won’t be too long before the long hand of the law catches up with you. These are some of the basic legal documents that you are expected to have in place if you want to legally run your own indoor soccer facility in the United States of America;

• Certificate of Incorporation
• Business License
• Tax Payer’s ID / Tax Identification Number
• Business Plan
• Non – disclosure Agreement
• Employee Handbook
• Employment Agreement (offer letters)
• Operating Agreement for LLCs
• Insurance Policy
• Online Terms of Use (since you operate online)
• Online Privacy Policy Document (basically for online payment portal)
• Company Bylaws
• Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)
• Contract Document
• Franchise or Trademark License (optional)

13. Raise the Needed Startup Capital

Starting an indoor soccer facility can be capital intensive even if you choose to start on a small scale. If you choose to start the business on a large scale with a standard and well – equipped facility; a big facility that is large enough to contain a full – sized soccer pitch including spectator’s stand, changing room and enough parking space, then you would need to go source for fund to finance the business because it is expensive to start a standard large – scale indoor soccer facility.

No doubt when it comes to financing a business, one of the first things and perhaps the major factors that you should consider is to write a good business plan .

If you have a good and workable business plan document in place, you may not have to labor yourself before convincing your bank, investors and your friends to invest in your business. Here are some of the options you can explore when sourcing for start – up capital for your indoor soccer facility;

• Raising money from personal savings and sale of personal stocks and properties
• Raising money from investors and business partners
• Sell of shares to interested investors
• Applying for loan from your bank/banks
• Pitching your business idea and applying for business grants and seed funding from donor organizations and angel investors
• Source for soft loans from your family members and your friends

14. Choose a Suitable Location for your Business

Even though you can afford to open an indoor soccer facility in any part of the United States of America, when it comes to choosing a location for your indoor soccer facility, the rule of thumb is that you should be guided by the access to a facility large enough to accommodate your indoor soccer facility.

Of course, if you are able to start your indoor soccer facility in the right location for such business, you won’t struggle to make headway with the business.

It cannot be overemphasized that the location you chose to start your indoor soccer facility is key to the success of the business, hence entrepreneurs are willing to rent or lease a facility in a visible location; a location where the demography consists of people and organizations who love soccer and with the required purchasing power and lifestyle.

Most importantly, before choosing a location for your indoor soccer facility, ensure that you first conduct a thorough feasibility studies and market survey. The possibility of you coming across a similar business that just closed shop in the location you want to open yours can’t be ruled out.

This is why it is very important to gather as much facts and figures before choosing a location to set – up your own indoor soccer facility. These are some of the key factors that you should consider before choosing a location for your indoor soccer facility;

• The demography of the location as it relates to the number of individuals who love soccer, schools, soccer teams, corporate organizations, community associations, religious organizations and tourists
• The demand for the services of indoor soccer facilities related businesses in the location
• The purchasing power of the residents of the location
• Accessibility of the location
• The number of indoor soccer facilities and related facilities where people can play soccer
• The local laws and regulations in the community/state
• Traffic, parking and security et al

15. Hire Employees for your Technical and Manpower Needs

On the average, there are no special technology/equipment needed to run this type of business. All you would need to run an indoor soccer facility are a big facility that is large enough to contain a full – sized soccer pitch including spectator’s stand, changing room and enough parking space.

You would have to lay a synthetic pitch, chairs for your spectators, changing room, first aid stand, fire alarm system, multimedia equipment, public address system, commentary box, et al, inventory-management software and other relevant software applications.

So also, you will definitely need computers, internet facility, telephone, fax machine and office furniture (chairs, tables, and shelves) amongst others and all these can be gotten as fairly used.

As regards leasing or outright purchase of an indoor soccer facility, the choice is dependent on your financial standing, but the truth is that to be on the safe side, it is advisable to start off with a short – term rent/lease while test running the business in the location.

If things work out as planned, then you go on a long – term lease or outright purchase of the property but if not, then move on and source for other ideal location / facility for such business.

When it comes to hiring employees for a standard indoor soccer facility, you should make plans to hire a competent Chief Executive Officer/Manager (you can occupy this role), Facility Manager/Admin and Human Resources Manager, Soccer Games Instructors and Trainers, Sales and Marketing Officer, Accounting Clerk, and Front Desk Officer.

On the average, you will need a minimum of 5 to 10 key staff members to run a medium – scale but standard indoor soccer facility.

The Service Delivery Process of the Business

Over and above, the business services process as it relates to indoor soccer facilities is straightforward and in most cases clearly defined.

It is the duty of professional soccer game instructors and trainers to help their clients acquire skills and knowledge of the game. They help their clients develop capability, capacity, productivity and performance as it relates to soccer game.

Usually, the facility is open to individuals and groups who would want to play soccer or practice for soccer competition. It is the practice for people to pick up membership if they want to freely make use of an indoor soccer facility.

In some cases, an indoor soccer facility organizes soccer competitions amongst local teams; such competitions could be for a full soccer team or a five aside soccer competition. They ensure that they source for sponsorship from relevant organizations in and around the community where the soccer facility is located.

Aside from membership and gate fee, this is another good avenue to generate money. You might likely not breakeven with your indoor soccer facility within the first year of starting the business because of the capital you invested in the business, but if you continue to attract more clients, you can be rest assured to start making profits after three years of starting the business.

The bottom line is to ensure that the fee you charge for people to make use your facility is affordable and flexible. It is important to state that an indoor soccer facility may decide to improvise or adopt any business process and structure that will guarantee them efficiency and flexibility; the above stated indoor soccer facility business process is not cast on stone.

The CEO and Founder of Praava Health on Reimagining Care in an Emerging Market

• Sylvana Quader Sinha

The author set a new and high standard for health care in Bangladesh and achieved it.

Although the author’s grandfather founded the oldest pharmaceutical company in Bangladesh, she never expected to follow in his footsteps. Raised in Roanoke, Virginia, she studied international development and law before working first as a corporate lawyer and then in the Obama administration. But when her mother fell seriously ill during a family wedding in Bangladesh—and Sinha discovered how difficult it was to get access to quality health care in that country even for well-off, well-connected families—she found a new mission. She developed a business plan for a state-of-the-art, full-service primary-care facility in Dhaka, Bangladesh’s capital city, and moved there—where she’d never lived before—to launch it. She focused on hiring a great team and building a culture around the distinctive service they would offer. Five years later, Praava Health has served 600,000 patients, is nearly cash-flow positive, and continues to grow.

My obsession with health care in Bangladesh started with my mother’s appendicitis.
