Hello, my name is Vishal. I am looking into opening a pool hall in the New York City area. My question is where do I start. I have been to that Sba.gov websites and a few other related web sites of that nature and I have found scant information. I need to know what steps I must take from now to take care of the legal matters and licenses needed and also items like how do I go about renting pool tables and cues. Basically I'd like to know all that one has to do, in detail, from the forming of the idea to opening day in their business. |

Hi I think one reason your question remains unanswered is that it is really a series of questions,( e,g legal matters, licences, renting property, renting tables/cues etc) all of which would take time to research and write. Researchers get 75% of the $25 i.e. not a lot for the amount of research that would have to be done to answer your question. That's probably why nobody has picked it up. Willie |

Thank you Willie for bringing this to my attention. What then would you say would be an attrative price for all of these questions to be answered? |

It's actually way outside my area of expertise, so I'll leave it to one of the other researchers to answer that if you don't mind - I live in the UK, and don't know much about New York pool halls :) Willie |

I can give you some tips about asking a "good" question if that's what you're looking for. First off, be specific. Ask a single question with one right answer so the Researcher knows when (s)he is done answering it. If the question is of necessity vague, give information about what you already know so we don't end up duplicating your effort. Your final sentence, "Basically I'd like to know all that one has to do, in detail, from the forming of the idea to opening day in their business." also has some "red flags" that researchers tend to shy away from. Words like all and detail indicate a very long and involved answer; combined with the multipart nature of your question and the fact that it draws on many different spheres of knowledge makes it unlikely that one researcher will have the resources or the willingness to tackle your problem. Also, tell us what type of answer you want. If you want "fill out this form, send it to this address, go to this government office, obtain this permit" then ask for it. If you want general resources, mention that. With regard to your pool gear part, do you want one rental place? Do yo uwant 3? Do you want to be told to go to the yellow pages under rental and start calling people? I would suggest you close this question and post each part separately. First, ask for the legal advice on whom to contact about starting a business, hiring employees, taxes, etc (I would suggest talking to a lawyer). Then ask about finding a building to rent, choosing a good location, etc. Also ask about the equipment rental (do you want an option to buy if your pool hall starts to take off?), advertising, promotions, etc. Starting a business is not a $25 proposition. Your time alone will be worth thousands of dollars by the time you are done, and you will incur all manner of expenses to go along with that. Trying to offload some of that work onto others is a good idea, but you seem to be expecting too much. At minimum wage, what you've offered for this question will buy about 3-4 hours of someone's time - consider whether you would be happy with that little research for something as important as your new business. Sorry I have to sound so depressing; I do wish you the best. -Haversian |

Hopefully my final revision here. What I'd really like to know is where I can go to get a market analysis done for the area (Queens, Ny) that I am in for the viability of a billiards business. |
