Here are some very important factors to consider since I have been through it for 2 years now and I bought an exsisting salon. I can tell you what info we need.

What is the size of the Town and does it support smaller towns around it

Second, What does there last 3 tax statments say, are they going down year after year.

Third, Make, Model and year of tanning equipment

Last is tanning equipment in good condition, Newer acrylics, all starters have been changed out in the last 2 years and the buck booster is the right size for the bed.

These are things you don't want to replace when buying an old salon at the price they want, 55K is alot of money for a 8 bed tanning salon. My best advice is to call your nearest distributer and find someone in your area willing to drive and tell you what they think it is worth. Shoot for $300 I will come tell you or for more I will you start your own for under 50K and that includes 8 beds, automatic spray tan booth and stand up. Like I said there is alot of used equipment out there, you just need to know the right people.
