Hello everyone.
It may be a long one so brace yourselves.
I have been running my salon for 11 years now and for the last couple of years I’ve found myself not really enjoying it anymore.
I love the hairdressing side that’s not the problem it’s just everything else from staff issue to worrying about money to clients giving me grief.
I feel so lonely most of time even though I have people around me I feel everyone is just selfish and only care about themselves most of the time. I mean staff don’t ever really know how you pay them they just expect to get paid.
I’ve found the last year I’ve employed a couple more people but no more clients have come in. One is leaving soon as she is pregnant so that’s a relief and the other is a work experience girl. The both don’t cost me the earth but I’ve really felt the added strain. I don’t feel I can get rid of work ex girl as she’s so close to the end of her course and she needs the job to pass. I’m not sure it would make enough of a difference anyway.
I’m at a cross roads In July I can put my break clause in my lease in to play and I just have no idea what to do?
I speak to my partner a lot and he worries that I won’t earn as much as I do now but for me I kinda don’t care. I’m not happy here anymore and my heart isn’t in it.
My next step is to make that tough choice and I’m scared. It’s all I’ve know for the last 11 years and if I do give it up it would mean a massive back step.
Has anyone been in this position and has given up the salon and decided to just work for someone again?
Also what will happen regarding my girls do I need to pay them redundancies? How do I go about selling the business? Do I need property holder permission before I try to sell it as she owns the property? How do I go about selling all my stuff within salon?
I know the last person who owned it didn’t have much luck selling it and the property owner wasn’t prepared to give him any money for all the fixture and fittings.
Help!! Any advice would be great!
