Hey geeks
So. I have Been offered a chair to rent for £75 for 3 days. Bring my own stock, towels provided. It's in the town centre right beside big car park which is only 40p an hour. No clients waiting but due to location should mean walk ins.
Another smaller salon 5min walk from home offered same deal. It's 10 min out of the town and has free parking and there are existing clients. The girl who works there is leaving as doesn't want to rent. They have also offered to lease the shop to me for £100 a week. The salons in town charge 100 for the week to rent chair.
Now I know I would have the rates and energy and phone bill as well as the rent which I need to find out first.
What would you do? I haven't a big client base myself yet, part of me thinks it could be great opportunity but the wrong time for me but another part of me is afraid I'm throwing away good opportunity and maybe I would be kicking myself down the line. Any opinions welcome.
I should add, I currently do 30 hours a week as civil servant so still a steady income coming in. My plan was to stay there when I started renting chair til I got business off the ground.
