Hi I've been experimenting around with throwing parties. The audience its pretty much anyone under 18. I'm 20 by the way.
My first stab at it i manage to put a team of volunteers together including the DJ so all i invested was $200 (150 for the venue and 50 for flayers). The venue wasn't that great (to be expected for that price). With that said i ended up making $1,000 only charging guys a $5 entrance fee. So not bad for one night. Plus it was our first party ever. This type of ventures usually takes time to build a name and following more so than a regular business.
Now ever since then I've been having trouble finding a good location for a good price. Which game me the following idea.
Would it be possible to rent out a retail space for possibly a day? I do know they usually look for long term contracts but i figured if its not being used why not.
Also if they would agree to do so what would i need in order for the event to not get shut down by either cops or who ever.
What permits would i need? if any.
Any type of business registration needed to be able to charge? (even if its for one day)
No food nor alcohol would be available.
