Rep Power: 25 | Re: opinion on cost of buying a salon The "discretionary owner income" they are listing is actually them working for "free" and then taking that as their payment. As Robert K points out, the normal "payroll" at $8/hour plus small commissions with all the associated taxes etc -- would be about $3k/month. That means after the $1800 in rent and $3000 in payroll you have $1200/month left to pay all the utilities, supplies, advertising, bank fees, inventory cost, re-lamping costs, etc etc. It is running at a loss. So you could buy the "assets" -- but you have to ask what you think you would/could do differently to have it NOT run at a loss. If nothing - than don't buy. |

now lets evaluate the current business model to determine what is not being done to generate business. Establish how much income can be generated with appropriate changes. Now you can decide if it is a salon that you would want to own. If you are still interested you can now establish the real purchase price. It is obviously not showing a profit so it would be an asset purchase. It appears that assets are worth less than asking price. This salon can be purchased for less than asking price. now these are just a few things that must be done before you should consider making an offer. I have a questionnaire I would like to send you that you can have the seller fill out that will allow the salon to be properly evaluated. Email me and I will send it to you. | |
