Why open a new club?

Make me an offer on mine.. LOL

Actually, there are no set rules on how to open a club. As has been said repeatedly before, hire a lawyer familiar with the loval codes and do your homework.

Avoid a Sexualy Oriented Busines (SOB) License like the plague. Make it a private, members only association. Associations come with a Constitutional guarantee. In most cases don't sell alcohol, make it BYOB.

All of these steps make your association a private place with no government regulations to run afoul of.

Even those clubs that must have dance hall licenses should seek out a ruling on being an association. Does your local church sponsor dances and if so do they need a permit to do so? I don't think so.

Remember, if you can outsmart them you'll win, But do your homework because they'll check up on you.
