Hussam: Teenagers will use them everyday if they are in the neighborhood (family park or something) but of course on weekends will be busier

it's just an idea!

i am not involved in such business.

but..looking at "paint-ball" success...

At 50 QR / 20 mins x 10 carts = 500 QR/ 20 mins.

8 -10 hours/day = 12.000-15.000 QR /day

50% hours idle time = 6000-7500 QR/day

consumables = 2000 QR/day

,

PROFIT = 4000-5500 QR/day

MAYBE IT'S WORKING! :)

stevethetyke: Thank you for the suggestion but dance schools aren't congruent with Islamic values :P

Dracula: Wow you seem to have been involved in such a business.. And what's the turnover?

Mr.Tamtam knows!

You'll need around 70.000 QR for 10 carts and 10000 QR monthly for rent the land.

The roads (asphalt or cement)= 30.000 QR

2 mechanics , one cashier and one Boss = 2x2500 + 1x3000 + 1x5000= 13.000 QR

Dance schools are all the rage now in the west due to celebrity dance competitions on the TV.

Carting

Carting is ideal for business teams willing to enjoy a moment of excitement, for friends and even for families who wish to enjoy together an enriching experience.

I have to decide on a service or a product before conducting a feasibility study.

As for the capital, I have 2 options. 100,000 that I can invest anywhere (the problem is that it's too small), the other option is 1 million but this amount belongs to a company that is under establishment for educational services. So in this case any project must be in the educational sector. (to which we already have a business plan, but it's pending as we originally projected a capital of 5 million not only 1).

Perhaps you'll suggest that we switch to another non-educational project. That might be Plan B if we couldn't attract more investors.

wizz14: I'm both an investor and looking for investors/partners.

I have been involved in business and marketing plan and development before. Conducting a feasibility study in this case will help u answer ur question.

But, first thing, u have to tell me how much is your projected capital to start-up the business.
