Business Plan for Recital Hall / Recording Studio for Classical Musicians
Executive Summary
Overview:
Jinny's Violin Studio, Inc., a reputable musical education and performance business, is approximately 8-10 years old. The business is blessed with a full (zero vacancy) schedule & waiting list for violin lessons 6 days a week for up to 30 students.
Additionally, we have a small retail storefront that showcases 100 products. Our partnerships allow us to provide top violin products at the lowest market rates to our students and locals in the Bay. We have stable sales in person and online. Our products include violins, bows, cases, accessories and consumables.
The Problem:
Our studio faces growing pains with space limitations and noise affecting neighboring tenants, necessitating effective solutions for continued harmony and success.
No Vacancy for Lessons
The studio offers lessons six days a week, expanding to 7 days a week by the end of the year, & all slots are full with a waiting list.
Supply Chain Bottlenecks
We have a small retail storefront with about 100 products in our studio. Our limited space is at capacity unable to showcase all products & cannot fully utilize established vendor pipelines.
Noise Disruptions
Noise generated during lessons disrupts the neighboring tenant, necessitating a viable solution to maintain synergy & success of our storefront operations.
Proposed Solution:
Expanding into a second location near Milpitas or downtown San Jose will open up additional revenue streams. This expansion will also free up space at the primary location, allowing for a better display of musical products and improved customer experience.
The solution includes expanding into a second location near Milpitas or downtown San Jose. Fabrication of the studio with soundproofing, incorporating secondary stud treatment on existing walls, ceiling spring isolation treatment if required, and a communicating double door system. Additionally, a recording studio will be established to offset construction costs and provide additional value tuned specifically towards classical music or similar audition.
Benefits:
Our expansion offers a modern, acoustically treated space ideal for recording, performances, group practices, and private events, equipped with the finest instruments. Recording options are available with or without accompaniment.
