ERGOLINE? - Page 2

Ergoline is awesome equipment, but the customer service is bad from what I have heard and the costs are pretty high brand new. If you are going to start from ground up, I would look into buying used equipment, because if you go out and try and buy $100K new, you will not make it.

Used eh? When can I guy get used equipment?

We have Ergoline equipment, but are located in Europe, maybe that's cheaper. No complaints about the beds whatsoever. We have 5 beds, 3 bought new and 2 used. Would buy used anytime. We bought used from the Ergoline dealer, totally revised and running as new.

I don't have a location yet I am just researching right now to see if the tanning industry is even for me. So far it has my ineterests peaked. It definately seems like a venture I would take. I am currently in the process of getting cirtified, and am also pursuing my associates in busines administration, so the whole thing is a few steps away for me, but I feel that you can never start planning too early.
I would like any opinions on franchising as well. I think it would be better to start my own salon from the ground up than franchise, but am interested in peoples views on that aspect of strarting out.

That business degree is the most important part of your business training. When you start to do numbers on how much is needed to run your place, Ergoline quickly falls into HOW THE **** DO I GET $30/VISIT FOR THIS THING????? and you'll see why NUMBERSWISE why Ergoline is not the best choise.

Then you'll be fed some BS revenue projection that makes it LOOK LIKE you are going to be a millionare BUT I WILL PROMISE YOU the number they feed to is GARBAGE.
