How much would it cost to start up a tattoo shop, including rent?taxes?insurance?salaries?
Salaries is definitely going to depend on how many employees you intend to hire. If at all possible, keep it small at first, then expand later. Don’t take out a loan or anything to pay for things you don’t absolutely need. The extras are bought with profit. We don’t know what your rent is or what your taxes are like in your state, so we can’t really answer that. Where I’m from, typical rent on a place is $400 a month for a shop, but I live in a tiny rural town so that’s cheap. It’s safe to assume taxes will be from 25-30%. High assumptions are always better than low ones. You will need to call and get insurance quotes. What you need to worry about up front is how big you want your place to be in terms of both size and employees. You will need to buy equipment and supplies. A good safe bet is $30,000. Most businesses fail within the first year. Keep this in mind, and also beware of the economy right now. I don’t know if you’re in the USA but starting a business of any kind would be fina
