How do I open a successful after school Karate daycare?

The best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you're interested in.

I recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box.

Associations may be a good avenue to explore as well. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links.

Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:

* Start & Run a Home Daycare by Catherine M. Pruissen

* Starting a Child Care Center: The Indispensable Guidebook for Starting a Day Care or Child Care Business by Millicent Gray Lownes-Jackson,

* Opening & Operating A Successful Child Care Center by Dorothy June Sciarra

* The Business of Child Care: Management and Financial Strategies by Gail H Jack

There are plenty of free informational resources out there. Check the source box for links to articles.

Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Get your daycare license first, then check out the cost of the building for rent somewhere close to the karate school. Build your flyer's and start handing them out. Give some of the flyers to the karate school itself. Word of mouth goes along ways.

Get everything you are going to need together and organized then get the building, then make the flyers and pass it out to schools and then wait for them to come to you.

ask mr. miyagi (wax on.....wax off)

that would be cool
