Hi guys, don't usually post much on here as can usually what I'm looking for via search but anyway!.....
Ok so background... am a Cnd nail tech with home based salon, good loyal clientele working around 30 hours a week, long story short hubby and I are looking to switch roles and he will stay home more with kids and I will work more, so this has got me thinking about maybe buying an actual salon rather than keep working from home (be good to separate work and home life a little more) I am always having to turn people away as I can't fit them in which I hate doing and my website generates me a lot of new clients.
So my hubby and I have looked into it and decided that starting a new salon would be preferable to buying someone else's second hand reputation and equipment, I have a friend who has a portfolio of properties etc and can help me get some suitable premises, but what I would like to know is what other costs are involved, (would like to make sure I haven't got my head in the clouds and what I'm thinking is accurate)
Rent
Utilities
Insurance/Liability etc
Music licence
Have to dash as baby needs feed but what other expenses have I missed as am sure there must be more lol
Obviously I have stock for nail stuff and am thinking about renting space/room to people for lashes and waxing etc, not thinking about offering hair as there a hundreds of places with that covered so kitting out salon wouldn't be too much of an expense I think lol
Thanks in advance for your help !
