Probably the most scary opening sentence I have seen in a business plan (and I kid you not) went ‘Me and my mate was in the pub’.
Notwithstanding the awful impression it makes, it is certainly true that some significant developments in my plan evolved from pub conversations (I can remember the conversations, so clearly not a wild night out).
Having learned that many Private Schools are charities and are obliged to make facilities available I had assumed that my venue would be one of these schools. A good friend (thank you!) questioned this logic – do people really want to sit in classrooms? (It is true that most of the negative comments on my college course related to the environment and strange chairs). Won’t it be strange pitching up to an empty school? Surely a pub would be a better venue? Now, pubs I know a bit about; they are generally quiet early in the week and any sensible publican will welcome a few extra sales and the longer-term marketing potential that extra clients can bring. So, another big decision was made.
