Party Planning Business
I personally believe that a party planning business can be a rewarding and profitable opportunity for someone who is outgoing, organized, caring, and has the knack of animating and coordinating events. Unlike other options, a party planning business doesn't require a lot of capital or specialized space. However, figuring out how to start a party planning business requires some basic steps that are similar to all home businesses, as well as some steps that are unique to the business.
Some of these steps are:
-Find out what kind of party planner you want to be. While many party planners delve into multiple types of clients and events, most others find their niche and specialize. You can always change the type of business you do later, it helps to think about these questions in the planning phase.
-Consider your education and experience. You don't need a college degree to start a party planning business - many planners have bachelor's and advanced degrees in a variety of related areas.
-Talk to a lawyer or someone else who knows local business laws. Although party planners typically do not need a license, some state or municipal governments may require one. Because the holidays often involve large and possibly unruly crowds, investing in liability insurance for your business is also wise.
-Learn more about the party planning industry where you live, find out about local competitors, and consider their styles and approaches. Keep this in mind when determining your niche. Try to distinguish yourself as unique in some way by offering a different kind of service or experience.
-Write a business plan. That is, write exactly what niche you plan to fill and how your business will achieve it.
Create a market analysis for the sector. Use the information you collected earlier to determine the size of your potential market. Determine the fees you will charge for your services and the target income you will have to aim for.
