Need some advice guys!
I've been having chats with the owner of a local Hair Salon that has a really good rep and needs someone to take over the Beauty side of the business as he hasnt seemed to have had much luck with previous Therapists for various reasons.
It has 2 treatments rooms which are very nice and spacious, and a spray tan room which he said I can use all of them or sub let. I will try and look for a chiropidist to work one day a week in the other room.
The Salon will wash the towels I use and their receptionist will take my bookings. I can use their couch and trolleys etc that they already have in the rooms.
He's asked me to come up with a suggestion for rent as basically he says that the hair side is bringing in plenty of money and he really wants the Beauty side to work as it will benefit the Salon as a whole.
I can tell he's really thought about getting someone in that knows their stuff as he's asked me to come up with a business development plan to see how I'm going to market myself and where I hope to be in 12 months time etc.
My argument is that I dont want to insult him by offering too low a rent but I need to be able to make a profit from the venture as well.
By looking at previous posts most of you are saying £15 to £20 a day is pretty reasonable.
I only want to open the Salon from Wed afternoons through till Saturday at first to gradually build up the business and then there's the products I have to buy in for my treatments.
I think he's looking at a fixed rate rental which I would prefer too then I'm making as much as possible.
They also have an existing client base as they have been operating for 12 months so all I need to do to start with is get in touch with them and give them an incentive to come and meet me and have a treatment.
I would appreciate your advice on a rental price to offer as I'm just going round in circles in my head at the moment and I'm meeting him tomorrow evening- aaah!!
