Course Materials & Content
This is an instructor-led, go-at-your-own-pace, online fun center business startup program.
It comes complete with Business Plan, detailed direction with ongoing coaching and assistance to prepare your own local feasibility analysis.
As part of the FEC Network, we have been in the amusement attractions industry since 1995. From those years of experience, and our Fun Center Feasibility service, we developed the Startup Academy program.
A simple, cost-effective, DIY business planning and startup course, for new amusement entrepreneurs looking to get a professional feasibility analysis, and completed fun center business plan, at a reasonable price.
There are many services out there that will do this for you (including our own feasibility & planning service), but they can be expensive, and it can be difficult to present to potential funders, if the entrepreneur does not have a grasp on the completed plan and it’s market data. Startup Academy addresses this, by having the entrepreneur do the local research and build-out the plan with our materials and direct experience, coaching and consultation.
We then use that analysis to help you complete your business plan, and get it ready for presentation to potential funders.
1. Written Business Plan
The Academy program comes with a complete business plan, including a 37 page WORD document. Quickly edit it to fit with your project.
2. Project Financials
Also included are 27 attachments as your financial modeling, projections, startup costs, operating expenses and P&L statements.
3. Academy Course
The course follows the modules below, with on-going consultation and guidance. Use the materials included, speak with your coach as needed to prepare a local feasibility analysis, and complete your plan.
4. Facility Layout
OPTIONAL: Having an accurate 2D layout, designed to scale can often help in the presentation of the overall idea, and assist architects with your project scope. Saving you some dollars on architectural drawings.
Complete Course Package:
The course follows the business plan, based on these (7) modules of feasibility. Starting with a demographic study, we show you how to locate and use the data found in the development of your plan. Each module connects with the previous to logically and simply guide you through the entire process.
Academy a la Carte:
For new amusement business developers who have already completed some research, or have pieces of an existing fun center business plan, all (7) modules may not be required. The plan package may be purchased on it’s own, or combined with any of the course modules individually.
