Editor's Notes
- #3 Knowing what you are getting yourself into helps you a lot in the long run. Own something like a salon makes thing even easier when you actually are a cosmetologist because you would of built up a cliental and when you deiced to move on to owning your own business you will already have some customers.
- #4 The lease should specify clearly who owns what, and who is responsible for which repairs and expensesExemptions of fixtures or appliances that be attached to the salon so that they can be removed without violating the leaseAgreement about necessary renovations and repairs, such as painting plumbing, fixtures and electrical installationOptions so that the landlord that allows to assign the lease to another person
- #5 Individual ownership is better for someone that likes to make their own rules and someone that is responsible enough to meet all the duties to run a business. Witch is very hard because it will talk up a lot of you time when you own your own business. When you own your own business you have to: Manage the business, Determine policies, and has the last say in decision making, Assuming expense, receives profits an bears all lossesPartnership lets you have more opportunity for increased investment and growth. A partnership can be two or more people. Its shared ownership but not really equal, assumes the others unlimited liability for debts, makes it easier to share work responsibilities and decision making.Corporation is the best way that a business owner can protect his or her personal assets. When you start a business by corporation you will save a lot of money in taxes, provide greater business flexibility and make raising capital easierCorporations raise capital by using shares or stock certificatesStockholders have an ownership in the interest in thee companyYou can be a sole stockholder a stockholder is required to pay unemployment unlike partnership and individualIncome tax is limited to the salary that you draw and not the total profits of the business

When you know this your more determined to be successful. Especially a business like a salon. There are salon everywhere trying to be the best is very hard because there is competition on every corner so you must and have to think a step a head of the competition3. When you keep one customer happy they will start talking to other people about you and your salon business.4. When people go out and tell other people this is called word of mouth. That is the best and easiest way to get yourself out there.
