Want to start you're own new salon business from scratch, but unsure how to go about it? If this sounds like you, then todays episode is simply unmissable.

Today he'll explain how he got started it, offering his insights and experiences he went through from start to finish. It's a cracker!

Having worked at one of Manchester’s most established salons for ten years, Patrick's learned from some of the best hairdressers along the way; before deciding to make the jump from management to ownership. And it's a decision he's never looked back on with regret. From spotting a restaurant that he'd long wanted to be the location for his first hair salon business becoming available, Patrick set the wheels in motion to starting a new salon business from scratch.

Finding suitable premises, negotiating leases, having the right finances in place, bringing together your team and making sure that you've crunched them numbers correctly are just some of the things you need to think out when creating that business plan. Eek, business plan! Fear not! Patrick's tread the water on all of this for you, so feel reassured that you're going to have some great guidance today.
