I suggest you give the folks at Salon Support a call. They are down in Texas and are big on providing free info. to new salon owners. Also, all of their sales rep. are SmartTan certified and have been with them a long time. 800-665-0535

The best advise I was given was to develope a business plan as if you had to give it to a bank to get the start up loan, even if you're using all you're own money. Completing a comprehnsive BP requires you to provide information in areas that you may otherwise consider not important. You're required to explain everything so you are forced to do a lot of research. There are several books available regarding business plans and I'll bet you can find something on the internet about it. I was never comfortable with using a company who wanted to sell me equipment, to develope a BP for me. I saw that as a conflict of interest. I have no idea what salon support does either. Never heard of them before so this is not a dig to them. They may be able to provide you with a wealth of information.
