How Much it Cost To Open My Basketball Gym | The process of opening a basketball training facility

This video covers EXACTLY how to open a basketball gym and exactly how much it cost to open your own gym. This video I go into depth on the exact steps I took in order when it came to finding my own space, purchasing the hoops, paint and get the floor installed.
Opening a basketball training facility was not an easy process but was certainly worth it. I started by looking for my own business location around Lowell Ma by searching on loop net. I then proceeded to look at a couple and picked this space. It needed a lot of work so that is what ended up costing a lot of money.
We had to paint, fix up the stairs and mezzanine, install hoops and finaly install the basketball court which was the most expensive part. I also had to go through business registration, getting insurance and all sorts of annoying stuff like that to open my own business location. In the end it cost a bit of money up front but is well worth it and hope to be here for a while.
If you are interested in how much it costs and how to go about opening your own business this video will certainly help you get a general idea.

Thank you for taking the time to do this video. Did the city require a building with fire sprinklers?
