I should state it is a up scale salon very clean 6 beds , 4 32 lamp stage one 1 54 lamp stage 3 and a stage 2 stand up . there is room for another bed , they have stayed at around 61000 for the last 3 years , but do no advertising , it is the cleanest slaon with the best beds in the area , also demographs are great , rent is 2100 , looking to get some sort of idea what its worth , please dont bash and say 5 grand , it brings in money and everything is paid for . Thanks

You said GROSS $61k. Take out what it costs to run the salon yearly and what do they make?

I bought my salon from the previous owners for $10k and that included the deposit on the building and 6 units. They grossed $73k their final year of biz (cant remember the other years prior to that).

It aint worth more than that if they dont gross more than $100k+.

You can ask for whatever you want but a savvy buyer should spend 1-2x the net profits from the last couple years' P&Ls.

There are guys out there who want to buy a salon for their wife or girlfriend. That is the kind of buyer you want to look for. Normally take your net profit and ask 2 times that and then negotiate.

If that's the case, why are you only grossing $61K???

You know the difference between net & gross? (and buy & by?)

If you're netting ON YOUR P&Ls $13k, yes you might expect to get $26k.

IMO, list for $32k, expect to get $12-$20k.

ETA: OK I see now you're wanting to buy... They're netting $17,500 a year, offer them $10k. They might take the low offer just to get out of the deal. Otherwise skip this salon. It will be more work than its worth -- is a year of your time worth $17k? I'd say you could make more, like delivering mail or answering phones...

Like I have said they are asking 40k , but would it be rude to offer 25k , and would it be a good deal at 25 to 30k , as I said the beds are worth 25 to 30k demographs are 90 percent white and 100plus thousand people in area , I beleive it has only done around 60 because they do no advertising at all ! its all word of mouth.

But if you tried to sell the beds you would not get half-off the new price, you'd get maybe $2k each...

Any it wouldn't matter if the beds were worth $100k, if no one is coming in to use them (hence the very low gross) their worth is ZERO.

I told you what I think is reasonable, as did Tanning Queen. I'd offer $10k or walk away.
