We have a spare room in our salon and are thinking of renting it out to a massage therapist (we don't do massage). But we are completely new to this and have no idea how the payment works?
Do we charge a percentage of her profits? Or charge a flat rate for the room regardless of what she makes herself? How does it all work? What's 'normal' or 'common'?
Any and all advice is appreciated, thank you!
EDIT:
Our spare room is beautiful, decent sized and fully equipped for massage AND beauty (though she will only need massage). She would be using our electricity, water, our hot towel cabinet, music (one system across entire building), waiting room. There is the option for her to use our laundry/linen, but of course we would have to work out a system for that so we are sharing (or separating) the workload of laundry. I almost feel it is easier to keep everything separate at first? Her booking, phone & payment system will be completely separate from ours, she will essentially be a separate a business. We won't be booking in each others clients, but will send referrals across to each other. She will be starting from scratch, without any clientele. We are in a great location, growing rapidly in clientele.
Those with experience in this, which works best for both parties? To take a % or cut of her earnings, or to have a flat rate charged weekly regardless of what she has booked in.
Thanks again.
