Ever since returning to my mobile business after lockdown & struggling, I have seriously thought about getting a space of my own. I would love to have a space at home but haven’t the space or funds to do so.
After putting out a couple of ads locally, I have been approached with an opportunity to share a space in a self contained garage conversion owned by a therapist who has been in the business for 30+ years & is looking to wind down her business & retrain in other treatments. She has someone come in to do SPMU one day a week & I would have the space to myself for however many days I wish, possibly looking at 1 or 2 days.
It is still early days as she is still finishing the conversion & i’m not 100% sure if my loyal mobile clients would consider coming to me instead but I still can’t help but get a little tingle of excitement at the prospect, something I have not had since my return to work. I just hope it doesn’t end in disappointment.
What I would like to know is, as I have never been in this situation before...what do I need to ask her about? Is there anything I should be wary of or look out for? Do I need to alert my business insurance as I would still need to be mobile for some clients?
I have asked about rates & she said we can discuss either percentage or flat rate, which would be the better option? Her SPMU gives her 20% of her takings which I thought was pretty good.
Any information & help would be greatly appreciated!
