Before you invest, check the relevant laws of your state and follow the official procedure if there is any. You might have to get a permit along with a liquor and food license if you are planning to offer refreshments in your club. It is also important to contact the related authorities as sometimes they do not allow opening a music club in certain areas.

After going through all the paperwork, you should launch an advertising campaign to notify all the jazz music lovers in the town. You may hire an advertising team but you can do it yourself to save money. You can pick traditional tools like banners, posters and brochures but little bit creativity will make your campaign more appealing. You can arrange music corners in different shopping malls, road intersections and squares.
