Wow! Thanks guys. Thats all really helpful. I've looked into business valuations before and I know that at the end of the day a business is only worth what the buyer is willing to pay. Fortunately the salon I work from is part of a large franchise, so even if the present owner sold or even went...

Thanks Andy. Does that apply even if the business runs from a rented room in a salon? I have a meeting with the owner tomorrow and would like to bring it up with her. The contract I have with them runs for three years, but is renewable. There is nothing in there that says I can't sell, but I...

Hello. I really need some advice and was wondering if any of you geeks have been in a similar position? I have built up and am running a very successful business based in a hairdressing salon. I am in the not too distant future hoping to move to a different area, which would make for a 2 hour...

Hi Julie, You will be fine! I like you had the most shocking credit rating, but as long as you don't need a loan to start up, it's not a problem at all. You should quite easily get a business bank account, but probably not an overdraft facility and you can still get yourself a PDQ for card...

Hi Natalie, Would Surbiton be any good?

Hello there! For the last 2 and a half years I have been renting a room in a hairdressing salon and business has been so good that I would like to expand and open my own salon. I'm terrified and excited, aware that some of my clients won't follow me as new salon premises are about 2 miles...

Thank you both so much! It has been a complete nightmare as I have been messed around by a buyer that approached me and as it is just a small business and I don't want much for it, just a quick sale as I am moving. I don't want to pay a fortune in fees. I will try the links. Thanks again...

Hi, I'm quite new to all this, but was wondering if any of you would be able to give me some advice on where to advertise my business for sale, as sadly I am moving away. I have had the business valued and am looking for a quick sale, its leasehold and located in Surbiton, Surrey. Where should...

Hi Nicky, I have square booklets, They look great and clients love them so much, they actually keep them to refer to instead of picking up a new one each time they visit. They were really expensive, I did all the artwork myself, but they still cost over a pound each and the printing company I...

Unique selling point!! The rest of us are searching for one and you have it! A business is not built in a day, I'm sure your bank manager will give you loads of statisics on that. Your 3 month trial is a tough call. November is notoriously quiet, you need to promote your gift packages, get in...

Good luck. You will be amazing! Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You have a fabulous treatment menu, a brilliant website and its ok to feel scared!! Knock em dead!

It depends on which system you go for. If I were you I would do as much research as you can and find a machine with little or no overflow. Get a few companies in to do demos. I made the mistake of investing in a set up that means I need to air my room for a good 15mins before I can do another...

Tell her you have had a letter from health and safety and that they are planning an inspection!! If that doesn't make her sit up and take notice - get them in. They won't close her down, but will get her to put things right. The salon does not sound very safe. In the mean time print out some...

Hi. All the advise here is great! I'm in the same position as you and when I'm not busy, I help out on reception, which gives you a role if you are nervous around people (something to hide behind), the hairdressers really appreciate my help and in return now answer the phone with 'hello,------...

Hi, I have just been through the same thing, some of my gift vouchers are for alot of money, so I wanted them to look really special (and most are sold to men, so wrapping is really important - if my boyfriend is anything to go by). I spent alot of time researching online and came up with a...

If any of you are struggling with your accounts, I have a fabulous accountant! She has been brilliant with me, who pretty much stuffed all my years paper work in a carrier bag (I like to recycle):lol: and is always available when I need help. She can do everything up to and including VAT and is...

The best way to clean roller wax heads is to soak them in vegetable oil. I put my used ones in a lidded pot, leave them to soak over night and they come out like new! Just rinse them off, sterilise and you are ready to go. Try it, it really works.

I would be really interested in this too. Have just received the info from professional beauty, the closing date is next month.
