Guide to starting a beauty business
The beauty business market is growing fast as the general public is spending more money on grooming themselves. You can either buy an existing business or start your own. Purchasing will avoid start up costs and give you access to the balance sheet and the customer base. However' it is important to follow relevant guidelines to ensure that you make the correct choice.

1. Review financial documents for a period of three to five years. Financial documents certified by a CPA should include profit and loss statements' an inventory of the business' evaluation of the establishment' and tax returns.

2. When submitting a letter of intent to the property owner' include a disclaimer which will permit you to withdraw from the sale if necessary' before finalization.

3. Find out the legal requirements of the state. Obtain licenses that are necessary to own and operate a beauty business. Beauticians working for you will also be required to have relevant certifications and licenses. If you are not conversant with the state requirements' it is better to seek legal assistance.

4. Ascertain whether there are any leases and contracts at present and what your responsibilities will be towards such agreements. Inquire whether the property owner is willing to continue the lease with you and if agreeable' obtain a document as proof of agreement to lease' subject to the satisfactory conclusion of the sale of the premises.

5. Select the type of beauty business you wish to operate. Will it be limited to beauty therapy or will you offer sales of products? Statistics reveal that beauty businesses generate 20% of their revenue from product sales which is equivalent to 80% contributed from services.

6. Client retention is vital to the business as repeat customers generate higher return. Customers are your best advertisement and you must ensure that they are happy.

7. Competent stylists and beauticians help retain customers. If they leave the business' the customers leave with them. Annual staff turnover can be as high as 40%. Therefore' offer training and incentives to retain them in your establishment.

8. When arranging for required financing' check out several options as the interest rate may vary from one financial institution to another.

9. Sign a legally binding document of sale which will give you ownership of the business. The agreement is effective only after all parties involved in this business have signed the closing documents attested by either a broker or a closing attorney.

If you follow these guidelines you will avoid unnecessary problems that may occur.
