Hi everyone! I’m writing here to get some advice or maybe words of encouragement. I have been grooming for 5 years, and have been at my breaking point at the salon for about 6 months. Overworked, underpaid, petty drama in the workplace, you name it. I have a really solid clientele who supports me. Yesterday, I came across a retail space for rent in my neighborhood. It’s small, only $700/month including water, but I think it would be perfect for me to start my own one on one shop. Does anyone have any advice for going into this? I know I need to get an LLC and insurance, and keep all my receipts for equipment I purchase. I just feel like I’m not prepared- but I need to take the leap! I would also love to hear about/see other small grooming setups. Sincerely, a nervous groomer 🐾
