SVC - Getting into the nightclub or bar biz

Our clients below were nice enough to provide some personal contact information for serious reference inquiries only. Please don't abuse their kindness!

I was extremely impressed by the attention to detail that is integrated into your business plan template. I found the software to be extremely helpful in completing my business plan that I had previously struggled with. The fact that your template files can be incorporated into business plan pro made building my plan a lot easier. The features in business plan pro have broken down the business plan building process into simple steps that are easy to follow. The live plan feature is the most valuable by far. The SVC template and business plan pro have both exceeded my expectations. Thank you for putting together such a great product for our industry.

My company, Emerging Market Development, has been working with SVC for nearly two years. Before we actually began developing our nightclub, we contacted Joe Sorge at SVC to conduct a site/market study. This included collecting demographic information, licensing and regulatory requirements, and above all, the financial data needed to convince investors this was a good idea. With SVC's help, we were able to find and negotiate a building, write a well received business plan, and secure funding to complete the project. As the project manager, I needed to convince potential investors that my lack of restaurant/bar operations experience would not hurt the project. Acquiring SVC's vast knowledge of the industry made our investors feel secure that we knew what we were doing and would be ready for the challenges that lay ahead. The best part about SVC is that they are with you for the long run. Getting the club open is only the first step...and our partnership with SVC is guaranteed for at least the next two years. The bottom line is this: if you want to open a club or bar and have never owned one in the past, you need help from SVC. I wholeheartedly recommend their services.

After purchasing the plan from SVC I realized that I could have saved at least 6 months in the development of my plan. I had tried for many months to create all the information in the plan that Joe has already done the hard yards on. I needed to do some of that work myself so I could relate where to put the figures into SVC's plan. The plan presents the information in a professional way, soon I will take this information to investors. Joe is a great help always ready to answer questions, thanks for the plan Joe you have done a great job.

This format that SVC has created is the most valuable Nightclub business planning tool that I've ever found. I have been writing and rewriting my own business plan for well over a year now. Although I had purchased a copy of Palo Alto's Business Plan Pro 4.0 , I never felt comfortable with the format and traditional financial formulas that I was utilizing to depict the potential cash flow that a high volume club can represent to potential investors. Simply put, the template created by SVC, transforms Business Plan Pro 4.0 into a tailor made Night Club Business planning system. After struggling with my own models and financial formulas for months, I now am confident that, not only was I headed in the right direction all along, but with the help of SVC, I was able to accurately, (and easily) forecast my projections. I could have wasted many more months, wrestling with my format and projections; but now, I am confident in my plan, and my ability to attract serious investors. This was the best money I have ever spent. If your company designs any more products or services, please email me with the details, I value your assistance.
