LONDON - s4story -- LONDON - Nov. 5, 2026 - Denry Okpor, a UK-based serial entrepreneur, author, actor and property investor, has published Launch Your Venue: The Step-by-Step Playbook for Opening a Salon, Café or Bar in the UK. The independently published guide sets out a 26-week path from idea to opening night for operators in England and Wales.
Okpor has founded around a dozen UK companies since 2013. He is best known for Sips Nail Spa & Bar, where he designed, built and ran venues in Stratford, Mayfair and Croydon that combine nail spa treatments with a cocktail bar. Launch Your Venue turns that operator experience into a practical sequence covering startup costs, premises decisions, licensing and planning basics, fit-out, hiring, and what to do when plans slip.

"Most new venues don't fail because of the idea," said Denry Okpor. "They struggle on the order of decisions: cash, licensing, fit-out and people. I wrote the book I wish I'd had, a clear week-by-week plan, not a motivational speech."
The paperback (109 pages; ISBN-13 979-8-1609-6803-2) and Kindle edition are available on Amazon UK at https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0HMLZVXL5. A press kit with bios, photos and book details is at https://denryokpor.com/press/. Okpor also played Uncle K in the 2013 short film Squeeze.
