Business Idea: DJ Service

When you are hosting a party or function the last thing that you want to think about is what music is playing. You either just want to set and forget it, or have someone else take care of it. This often ends in everyone trying to take there turn often at the same time to put on the music that they want to listen to.

An alternative for people who don’t want to have a problem with the music or just want a whole night of music relevant to the party theme without having to think about it is to hire a DJ. Doing this can make it a lot easier for the host and can mean that all the guest have a much better night, day or event.

The level of the service that you will need to provide will vary to some degree from even to event, some will wish to purely have you play music and will have sound equipment and such already available. Others may need you to provide the sound equipment. Or to even bring along lighting as well. Some may even want you to provide a small MC (Master of Ceremonies) part even.

All of these different services will require difference pricing levels. Especially if you are to provide sound or lighting, then you will need to take these cost into account. If you already own the equipment it did cost you something to so you need to pass this cost on to every customer, not the whole cost but a small portion. Otherwise if you need to lease the equipment then you need to pass this cost on, plus a little bit extra, to cover your time and such in organizing it. Additionally if you wish to you can also provide other services like providing projectors, and arrangement of presentations, so some occasions may require the need of an assistant.

The only thing that you need to be aware of in this business is to ensure that you are properly licensed to play the music you are playing and any other local licenses that are required to operate this kind of business. The licenseing to play the music is probably the most important as it can be easily a legal issue if you are not properly licensed.
