Instructions
Step 1
Select the services that you will offer to your customers and the equipment that will be used. You can purchase land for organizing the playing field, or you can equip it in a special training pavilion. If you can't organize your course, you can simply open a specialty store that sells golf equipment.
Step 2
Come up with a catchy name for your golf club. Too common names can be easily forgotten or confused with the names of other companies. The unique name of the club will help golfers remember your institution.
Step 3
Create a business plan detailing all the priorities and the ultimate goal of the business. It should also include your strategies and budget planning. Free sample business plans can be found online.
Step 4
Apply for a small business loan from a financial institution of your choice. You will need start-up capital for the purchase or lease of a building, purchase of inventory, payment of licenses and state fees, additional costs and the formation of a client base. Consider other sources of funding if the bank refuses to issue a loan. Seek help from family, friends, and anyone who shares your idea. Visit your local chamber of commerce and industry and try its services.
Step 5
Obtain local and state permits and business licenses by visiting your local government. The requirements differ depending on your country, region and municipality. Find out how to obtain a federal tax identification number by visiting the tax office website.
Step 6
Find suppliers who can provide you with golf equipment. You can find this information on the Internet or thematic paper publications.
Step 7
Post job advertisements in local newspapers and job sites. Ideal candidates should be experienced golfers in order to properly service the institution and help clients learn the sport. Organize the grand opening of the club. Advertise it in all local media.
