question, is it just going to be a gaming hall or is it going to be similar to an Icafe?
the first question you have to ask yourself is, \"will there be a market in the area for such a thing?\"
we just got our first Icafe here in cape last year, and the guy who opened it is having a rough time of it. he offers lan gaming, internet access, food and a digital photography lab. However, in the area we\'re in, there\'s not that much of a market for that kind of thing. most people who game do it from home, the only customers he gets are college students on the weekend, and older ladies who like his coffee.
remember, the bigger the city, the larger the demand for entertainment and the more willing people are to pay for it.
advertising should be a definite priority, contact the largest radio station in your area and ask which company they would advise to market your campaign.
most importantly...
GET GOVERNMENT GRANTS
not loans, grants...
that is more important than anything else you do. some coutries will pay for an individual to make a small buisiness. you could come away with a million in free money just to start you out. Starting your buisiness in the most remote cavern not known to man would be less of a mistake than trying to start without government support
