What does it take to open a small movie theater?
Q. We just moved to a developing community that is far away from the city and about 30 minutes from the nearest movie theater. The subject came up about the demand for a movie theater in the area. How realistic is the prospect of opening a movie theater? It doesn't need to be huge. Just a few screens. If there is anyone who has opened their own theater, how much does it cost to do something like this? I said it doesn't have to be huge, meaning not a megaplex. I didn't say it had to be small. There are plenty of smaller profitable theaters in other areas that are similar to ours.

A. Go to your County Clerk and see if there's any properties that were repossessed. It's cheaper than going thru a real estate agent because all the county wants is the taxes owed on the property. But you also have to go there to register with county too. Check with Department of Health in case you're going to be serving refreshments and see what permit(s) you'll need. Also go to State Comptroller's office to register with state. You will also need to have County Fire Marshal inspect the building for fire escapes and placement of fire extinguishers,and fire exits for the public.

A. Being a small business owner, you need to pay extra attention to management of financial resources. Since growth of your business somehow depends on its financial position, you should always be cautious about cash flaw within or outside your business. It is quite true that lack of finance can become a big problem in the way of the success of your small business. Since market is crowded with various business loan schemes, every small business owner can manage to get the desired amount without any problem. Therefore if you own a new and small business organization and financial shortfall is bothering you, then these loans can prove to be the best help for you.
