The rapid growth of padel is driving more and more investors and entrepreneurs to consider purchasing existing clubs. While the opportunity may seem attractive, there are some key points worth considering before finalizing an acquisition.

1. The condition of the facilities

First of all, it is essential to check the condition of the land :

  • Quality of synthetic turf,
  • Condition of the windows (scratches, cracks, impact on strength),
  • Lighting (type of projectors, consumption, maintenance),
  • Metal structure (signs of rust, deformation).
    A precise check allows you to assess any renovation costs that may need to be anticipated in the short term.

2. Administrative authorizations

It is essential to ensure that the club has all the legal authorizations :

  • Compliance of sports facilities,
  • Planning permissions,
  • Compliance with ERP (Establishment Receiving the Public) standards regarding security and accessibility.

Failure to comply can result in high regularization costs or even administrative closures.

3. The contractual situation

Before any commitment, it is appropriate to analyze:

  • The rental contracts or purchase from the site,
  • The possible easements or restrictions of use,
  • The current contracts (partnerships, sponsors, service providers).

This analysis avoids unpleasant legal surprises after the takeover.

4. Commercial potential

A business audit is recommended to assess:

  • Le occupancy rate land,
  • Le turnover and its distribution (rentals, courses, shop, catering),
  • La customer loyalty and the existing communication strategy.
    An active, but poorly run commercially, club can represent a great opportunity for growth.

5. Additional equipment

Apart from the grounds themselves, other elements influence the value of the club:

  • Changing rooms and toilets,
  • Reception area and bar/restaurant area,
  • Parking and accessibility.

These infrastructures contribute directly to the customer experience and therefore to the profitability of the site.

6. Maintenance contracts

Finally, it is useful to check whether regular maintenance contracts are in place (surface maintenance, electrical checks, structural inspections).
A properly maintained club often costs less over the long term than a complete overhaul after purchase.

Buying a padel club can be an excellent opportunity, provided you analyze all the technical, administrative and commercial aspects.
