Do I need any prior experience in rental karting before starting my own business?

To run a successful business any prior experience is welcome, but not essential. If you make sure to choose a karting track provider that will give you all the guidelines and know-how required, you’ll be on the right track to starting a profitable and booming business. Pick a provider that will grant you first-hand insight into:

  • Location selection
  • Financial benchmarks
  • Demography analysis
  • Revenue projections
  • Track design
  • Track safety
  • Documentation that complies with your location
  • Implementation of additional attractions
  • Manufacturing process
  • Delivery logistics
  • Track installation
  • Final track testing
  • Maintaining the track in perfect condition

It’s important to choose a provider that will be willing to continue your professional relationship and offer suitable support long after your karting arena is up and running.

Is there any special permission or license required for setting up a go-kart track?

You’ll need a license to operate, but specific requirements and regulations vary from country to country. In our experience, your region may require additional licenses and regulations not directly related to the karting business, so Racing-cube recommends contacting your local authorities at the outset of your project.

Is there enough population in my area to run a profitable karting business?

With the goal of the optimal occupancy rate, we suggest a population of at least 250k residents within 20-30 minutes’ driving distance.

How can I finance my karting business project?

For investing in the karting business, there can be several ways to ensure you have enough funds. You can take out bank loans, lease equipment, or team up with several investors.

How long would it take to obtain ROI for a go-kart track business?

Based on experience, we realize that investment to build and run a karting center is not low. However, the ROI is remarkably high. A project that has invested over $1,500,000 could get the ROI in as soon as 1-2 years. Detailed analysis will be provided in the course of the Racing Cube design concept proposal.
