Business Opportunity for You

[Muck9]

Hey, i am possibly going into business with a friend and the business is Paintball.

We have done Market Research and found that a paintball arena has high demand.

We are also thinking of renting/buying a field. How much roughly would this cost?

Thats the difficulties we are facing. We need a little bit of money. We would like to know if anyone would like to go into business with us and buy land etc and they would get some of the money we make from it. You can buy it yourself and lease it to us maybe?

We are hoping that there is someone out there that would be willing to invest in this business and maybe reply here.

I will be very happy to answer questions >

Unless you're looking to set up a big arena, you're more likely to want woodland than a field / heath. Depending on your region, you'll probably be able to find 1-2 acres for around £5,000; there are however restrictions on many areas of woodland, but providing you don't plan on chopping much of it down, you probably won't have a problem. Heres a site to get you started and give you some sort of price guide for your area; http://www.woodlands.co.uk/
Also, avoid setting up to close to another paintball arena. A none-too comprehensive list can be found here; http://www.paintballguide.co.uk/ but you'll really want to look more closely at areas you're thinking of setting up in.

Out of interest, is there a lot of regulation around this? (Health & Safety, environmental, etc.)

You need to be very careful when inviting people (especially publicly) to invest in a business. It can be a criminal offence to offer investments in unquoted companies unless you are regulated under the Financial Services and Markets Acts or an exempt person or body. I would suggest that when your business plan is ready, you take further advice in respect of what form of finance is appropriate and how to take it forward.
Good luck.

Also an introduction may have been better to start of with to gain peoples trust. But good luck with this venture. :D
