Padel club business case

Build a first-pass padel club business case.

Estimate court booking revenue, memberships, coaching, monthly operating costs, gross margin, sensitivity, and payback before you turn a construction idea into a club plan.

Live model

Change an assumption. Watch the business case move.

Every field updates the current model immediately. Use the button when you want the full revenue, margin, break-even, and payback breakdown.

Project capacity
$
Use the cost calculator midpoint, your contractor budget, or a conservative board-approved capex number.
Revenue assumptions
%
The default assumes a strong-demand club model. Lower this if local demand, seasonality, or launch marketing is still unproven.
%
Peak share estimates how much booked play happens at the higher hourly rate. Strong evening and weekend demand raises this number.
$
$
$
The default assumes meaningful recurring member dues, locker fees, or access-plan revenue outside court bookings.
$
The default assumes active coaching, clinics, leagues, tournaments, corporate events, and sponsorship income.
Monthly operating costs
$
$
$
$
$
Use insurance, software, utilities, marketing, cleaning, admin, supplies, and reserves.

What to check first

  • Run the cost calculator first if the build cost is still a guess.
  • Replace default rates with local competitor pricing and your target membership offer.
  • Check break-even utilization before signing a lease, loan, or construction contract.
  • Prepare a quote brief only after the business case and project scope point in the same direction.

Useful output

The result estimates monthly revenue, operating costs, gross margin, annualized margin, break-even utilization, payback period, and a simple sensitivity table.

Best next action

If the model survives conservative assumptions, build a project brief with the court count, budget range, site status, and operating assumptions.
