You should have $150,000-$200,000 liquid capital to fund marketing, salaries and operational cash for several months after opening. The total all-in range including your capital, the equipment, build-out costs, lease, etc. is between $450,000 and $650,000.

If you find the perfect facility, you could be open in as little as 4 months. Most operators take approximately 6 months from the time they sign the Franchise Agreement until they open for business.

You'll be operating in a light industrial style space with approximately 2,500 square feet of finished space for bathrooms, party rooms, offices, server room and common hang-out area. The battlefield space is an open box (warehouse) approximately 7,500-8,000 sq. ft. with 16 ft. ceilings. The entire facility should be heated, air conditioned and have a fire sprinler system throughout.

Vertical markets include birthday parties, bachelor/ette parties, corporate events, team building, youth groups, scout troupes, graduation celebrations and sports team season celebrations. Additionally, area law enforcement (both local and federal) will want to rain in your facility with your equipment. You will also host recruiting events for local armed forces recruiting centers.
