I have been thinking about opening a small salon and would like a few experienced geeks to help me out with some figures etc.
When I had my baby I gave up my rented room and started to work from home, this has been great for me but I feel its time to get back into a salon enviroment and id like my spare room back ! I have a good client base but opening a salon in the town I live in is a no-go as there are already lots of salons, the rent is well above average and parking is a nightmare.
A friend of mine has a shop in a little retail complex in a small market town about 12 miles from where I live. There are a couple of units available by him starting from 3700 per annum for 122 sq ft. There is only one salon in the town which is actually a hotel spa so there isn't really any competition.
What I would like to know is apart from rent, rates, bills and decoration. What else would I need to pay to get the salon started ?
I am intending to have one treatment room and a reception/nail bar area. As I am writing this I have just realised that I don't know if they have a toilet/kitchen so obviously need to find that out.
Also for those of you that have a small salon what are your sq ft measurements ?
Thanks for your help
