How to finance the construction of a Trampoline Park?

Setting up a trampoline park is an exciting project but one that requires careful financial planning. For those looking to embark on this entrepreneurial journey, understanding the different financing options is essential. Our experts will help you with the different financing methods.

Prepare your financing request

The first step in seeking financing is the preparation of a solid file. Storkeo now offers a free feasibility study for leisure park projects. Benefit from our expertise, acquired from hundreds of partner parks. This includes an estimate of the cost of your activity, as well as the work required. Added to this is a pre-establishment of activities and our recommendations for your trampoline park (firefighter evacuation, alarm, etc.). This approach will bring you real added value when you submit your file.

This file must include a detailed business plan , an in-depth market study , and a realistic financial projection . These documents are crucial to demonstrate the viability and profitability of your project to potential financiers.

It is strongly recommended to draw up your business plan with an accountant. Most offer this service in order to acquire you as a customer when you open.

On average, a trampoline park generates €50,000 to €90,000 per month in turnover. It is therefore essential that the business plan is well designed to highlight the unique aspects of your trampoline park, such as its location, its unique services, as well as its growth potential.

Possible financing for your trampoline park

It is possible to finance your trampoline park in several ways. Whatever you choose, it's important that you have someone you trust who knows the industry and can offer you the best possible solutions. Calling on a leisure agent can be a wise choice to benefit from personalized, fast and reliable support for financing your trampoline park construction project.

• Bank loans

Bank loans are often the first resort to finance a business project. To convince banks, it is essential to present a complete and convincing file. This file must demonstrate your ability to repay the loan. It is also important to understand the different types of loans available, their interest rates, and the guarantees required to make the best choice according to your situation and the resources at your disposal. Scour the sites of each bank and find out as much information as possible to have all the cards in hand when you speak with your advisor.

• Leasing

Leasing represents a strategic and advantageous method, often unknown to the general public, for structuring a solid financial file. This approach allows you to finance anything with a serial number, extending well beyond the immediate needs of your business. It also includes furniture and other essential equipment, which is often overlooked during the initial planning of a new park. This judicious choice of financing can play a crucial role in the success and economic viability of your project.

• Investors

Attracting private investors is another viable option. These investors may be individuals or groups interested in the growth potential of your business. You should know that it takes 4 to 6 years for the investment to reach its break-even point. In exchange for their investment, they will often ask for a share in the business. To attract them, it is crucial to present an innovative project and demonstrate an attractive return on investment.

• Subsidies and aid for trampoline parks

There are various subsidies and government or private aid intended to support innovative projects such as trampoline parks. This aid can take the form of direct subsidies, tax credits, or support in terms of advice and training. It is important to check with local and regional authorities to find out what support is available.

• Franchise

Opting for a franchise can also be an interesting financing solution. By joining an established franchise, you can benefit from the expertise and brand name , as well as easier access to financing , thanks to the franchise's partnerships with financial institutions.

We will always advise you to study all other solutions before contacting a franchise.

How to choose the right financing to build a trampoline park?

The choice of financing depends on several criteria: the amount necessary, your ability to bear the risk, and your long-term objectives. It is important to understand the advantages and disadvantages of each option. For example, a bank loan may be less risky but requires collateral, while investors may offer more capital but will ask for a controlling share in the company.

In our experience, the best option is to use a “mixed” format. Depending on the amounts, it is sometimes necessary to mix forms (leasing, traditional banking, etc.). The aim is to dilute the risks for each of the banking partners.

In conclusion, financing a trampoline park is a process that requires rigor and a good understanding of the different financing options available. It is essential to prepare your file well, evaluate all the options, and choose the one that best suits your project and your objectives.
