So how do you go about it ?

Opening a club that is, I guess its not something you can go to the bank and get a business loan ? are those that open these venues just cash rich with money to burn ? do you get investors ?

Its something that has puzzled me for a while and I'm just wondering the ins and outs of it (licencing, not having the local council shut it down etc.)

Any premises open to the public or where charges are involved (private members or no) is subject to council approval and or licensing.

Hmmm now should i say its a total pain in the arse dont do it (in order to stop other clubs opening)

Or should i say that it depends what type of club you are considering opening i.e. a house with music and play rooms, a wet area, food offered, bar etc Depending on those answers the rules are massively different.

For example if you serve hot drinks after 11pm you need a licence, likewise if you serve hot snacks/food. If you play music that is key to the business then you need a licence and you also need one if you will be having people dancing and if you broadcast music you also need to pay PRS.

Onto the legalities of running a club then the first myth to dispel is that call it a private club you can do what you like, you cant, and also that if you say you only want contributions and dont charge a fee then you dont need to register as a business, you do lol

If you have any more questions ask away....although i may start to charge lol
