There are many you can choose from, and a simple
internet search will show you all of the suite-concept
businesses in your area of interest—and all of the
amenities you get when you put down a deposit, sign a
lease, and begin to market your business.
Becoming an entrepreneur in the beauty and
wellness industry has never been easier. If being a
solopreneur sounds attractive to you, the suite life

• Salon/business software (website, point-of-sale,
scheduling, inventory tracking, etc.)
• Marketing (stationary, advertising, loyalty programs,
social platforms, etc.)
• Taxes
As a solopreneur, your expenses will be much less
than if you owned a salon with employees, but you still
need to track expenses with great discipline. Once your
business has been open for six months, you'll be able to
gauge your income and expenses, and you'll be able to
see where you are, where you're going, and where you
want to be.
Do your research and see the options that are
available to you in this area of suite ownership.
