So please dont' flame me. I realize every situation is different, location, demographics, marketing, etc etc, but I am just curious realistically, what kind of operation would you need to run to create > $100,000 net profit margin.

I am just wondering becuase trolling these boards you would think it was nearly impossible to make serious income from a tanning salon, and I have been researching this for over a year now. I would liek to do some thing coming up this fall if at all possible, but I was just wondering what I would need to do to make a decent living off of it. I am in Attleboro, MA, the area had decent competition (2-3 salons per town) but most salons are small and have < 5 beds and are not kept up very nicely atall. I think there is a lot of potential in the area.

So, I guess I am wondering if you would need 10 beds, 15 beds, or more? to enable revenue growth to 100,000. I don't want to make it any more complicated than that.

And FYI before I get flamed, caus'e Iknow I will likely get some righteous answers here, I have an MBA in entrepreneurship and have run my own web design firm for > two years now plus have several years experience in project management.
