(I am not qualified so have employed staff to run my salon) sharpend 09-12-2006, 01:07 PM agree with all the above - you must focus on marketing and record keeping. You can be the best hairdresser in the world but if no one knows you are there - or you spend all your time dealing with the tax man ... you won't cut much hair... good luck Jilly69 10-12-2006, 10:22 AM An accountant would be the best person to speak to, but make sure they are qualified, Chartered or Chartered Certified. Unfortunately any person can call themselves an accountant without any formal training or qualificiations. |
