Hey geeks!
After a little quieter Christmas than last year I decided to sit down and go through accounts etc. Overheads are ridiculous, I live in a very small town which has one of the highest unemployment rates. For my salon rent is 200 per week and rates 6,500 a year. A girl across the street (first floor) is paying 40 per week rent and 473 rates a year!!!!!!! Shocking difference.
I established my business here and would be scared of the move, but if you are good enough ur clients will follow.
What I want to know has anyone moved premises to help out their own pocket? Changes are needed or I will give up.
People in cities may think my rent and rates are cheap compared to theirs, but my prices re cheaper and given the towns reputation I have to be realistic with prices...
