Hi guys, new to the forum and had a quick browse but don't know much about the rules etc.
Anyway, the reason I am starting a new thread is because I want some advice/tips from you lovely people.
I qualified as a massage therapist last December and want to start up on my own. I am qualified in 4 different massages; Aromatherapy, Swedish Body, Hot Stone and IHM. To start off with I will offer everything but hot stone as I don't have the right equipment and think it would be pointless when I don't know if there will even be a demand for it.
Does anyone have a vague idea what I need to start off with? I already have a massage couch i bought last year and was also given one recently. I need to get oils, towels, etc. What would be the best place to get these from? Do I need to get special towels? What else do I need?
I will be starting up from home so my overheads will be fairly low. As this will be the case do I really need to advertise yet? I have ideas for a name, logo and design etc.
If anyone knows information on companies/businesses, liquidation, dissolved, Company names etc. The reason I ask is because I have a name in mind and have checked it in the companies house database and it was dissolved. Can i use this?
Things to look out for would be great and will selling products be good to start off with or should i wait until i am established first?
Sorry it's such a long and spaced out thread just don't want to miss things out. Which I probably will lol.
Thanks in advance :wink2:
