How much would it cost to run a home based beauty salon? -

im thinking of maybe running a beauty salon from home once ive completed a course in Holistic Beauty Therapy. Im just wondering what kind of money would it cost to run. i understand that i will have to save up alot to get it set up intitially which is fine. Im just wondering more about when im running the salon how much will it cost me to do that? like advertising etc? and will i make enough money to cover that do you think? any help would be appreciated . Thanks

You will need to pass the state exam to get your beautician license first. The fee will need to be added to your start up costs.Price the equipment you should buy by consulting websites for those companies that sell what you need. Factor in utility costs for the business only (a percentage of your home utility bills).Double check your state s taxes. See if you need to collect taxes on your services. If you are selling products (lotions, shampoos, conditioners for the customer to use on their own) you will need to collect sales tax on those items.Consult your local Small Business Administration (SBA). They will help you figure out what you need to do and what fees must be paid to set up your business. If you want to start your own salon, they can help you acquire a business start-up loan.
