So you’re considering running your beauty business from home. There are many advantages to doing this, but there are also a number of things to consider too.
The Pros
- You don’t have the costs of paying someone else for a space in a beauty salon
- You can decorate your home salon as you wish and brand it with your business logos
- There’s a much better work/life balance, as you don’t have any travel time to a salon
- You can decide and when and how much you work, you can even offer late night appointments
- Your service will feel more relaxed and personal to clients
The Cons
- You’ll have to check your mortgage or tenancy agreement to make sure you’re allowed to run a business from the premises
- You’ll need to take out separate insurance, as your home insurance won’t cover business use
- There will be some requirements and health and safety checks that need to be done by your local council
- You won’t have the support of a beauty salon or other therapists working from there
- Some potential clients maybe put off by going to someone’s home for a treatment
- You’ll need to keep your home life separate from the business; some clients may not appreciate your dog or child walking to an appointment
Home-based beauty therapists also need to be fully accredited, so take a look at IPHM Beauty accreditation today and get your new home-based beauty salon off to a great start!
