Platinum Hair's goal is to be a profitable business beginning in the first month.
The business will not have to wait long for clients to learn about it since the
stylists will already have an existing client base.
Startup Costs
Starting a hair salon trade can be cost-effective; this is so because, on the average, you are not
expected to procure any expensive machines and equipment. Basically what you should be concerned
about is the amount needed to secure a standard office facility in a good and busy business district,
the amount needed to furniture and equip the office, the amount needed to pay bills, promote the
business, and obtain the appropriate business license and certifications.
Basically, this is the area we are looking towards spending our start-up capital on :
Expense Amount
The Total Fee for incorporating the Business in New York $750
The budget for Liability insurance, permits, and license $2500
The Amount needed to acquire a suitable Office facility in a business district for 6
months (Re-Construction of the facility inclusive)
$40,000
The Cost for equipping the office (computers, printers, fax machines, furniture,
telephones, fittings, safety gadgets and electronics, hair equipment et al)
$2000
The Cost of Launching your official Website $600
Budget for paying at least two employees for 3 months and utility bills $30,000
Additional Expenditure (Business cards, Signage, Adverts, and Promotions et al) $2,500
Miscellaneous $1,000
Going by the report from the research and feasibility studies, we will need about $150,000 to set up a
small scale but standard consulting firm in the United States of America.

The financials that are enclosed have a number of assumptions:
Revenues will grow at an annual rate of 15%, increasing 20% in November and

and word documents. And if either doesn’t
work, you can share it with a quick link too
and track the reader's activity!
6. Real-time and Collaborative
Invite your team members to initiate
conversations, discuss ideas and strategies
in real-time, share respective feedback, and
write your business plan.
