Re: buying a small business

-The downside is the salon is a bit on the small side, approx. 1400 sq. feet. Not much room for expansion unless you could buy a location next to it and knock down a wall. Not sure of how many beds they currently have, my guess would be 6-7 with one of them being a high end model.

-They state they already have a client base of 1300 people.

-The mortgage would work out to be less than $500 per month.
So they own or lease their space?

And part(probably the biggest part really) of due diligence is doing a serious examination of their financials. You could hire an accountant to go over them with you if you're not yet savy or confident enough to know what you are doing.
