In this video tutorial I talk about how to write a business plan for a hair or beauty salon. After writing the business plan, I explain how to actually start this business, and open the hair and beauty salon of your dreams.

Of course, before I get into dreams and things like that, we should get serious and focus on fundamental things that will be needed for this business. There are a few things that you will need to outline when you write the business plan for this business. You can't get around the question of how you will come up with the money to start this business, and how much money it will actually require. It is something that is truly challenging to entrepreneurs.

To understand how much money you need to start this business, in your business plan you should have a section with something called the cash flow statement. The cash flow statement will help you list all your expenses and sum them up. That way you will know how much money you will eventually need. Once you figure out how much funding you will need, and hopefully eventually raise that money, it will be time to start that business. Well, not that fast. You will also need to find an ideal location, and begin looking into hiring staff. You should also consider whether this is the kind of business you want to run long-term because once you start this business, it isn't easy to turn back. Let's assume that you are not going to want to turn back.

To open a beauty or hair salon, you will need to find the proper licenses and permits to open this business. To find out which permits and licenses you need to open a salon, call your secretary of state office for your state and your city hall. They will tell you exactly which licenses you need. You should then look into the kind of entity type your company should be. It can be an LLC, and S corp, a C corp or other kinds of entity types. To figure out what entity type will best fit your unique situation, you can get advice from a lawyer or an accountant who works with businesses.
