Most areas require professional licensing.  Once that is accomplished, you should have no trouble drumming up business with a relatively modest advertising budget, given the immense popularity of this therapy.  You might even want to consider a "traveling service" as opposed to a traditional "office" setting; bringing your service to homes and businesses is a great way to drum up free "word-of-mouth" advertising.

Ive been running a very successful boxing gym now for 3 years! to get started you need to get in contact with the local council and take it from there.  But having friends only as your members will really restrict wot your club can do also u will lose alot of income which you get from the public!! you need insurance for public liability! Risk assessments .. If you open up to the public you qualify for grants which can pay for all your gym equipment to get you started! You need to be a qualified boxing coach if you are to teach and also be first aid qualified incase of accidents! good luck ! If you need anymore help mate just ask !

As far as I'm concerned the best Massage therapy schools in America are the UCMT network of schools. For the reason that they have 115.5 hrs of clinic working on the public before you graduate, and the most comprehensive anatomy class. Without anatomy its hard to look at the body and see the different aspects of it and have a clear understanding of what they are telling you and what that problem may be realted to. Day and evening classes to suit both and lifetime placement all adds up.

Nope..all you need is the cosmotology license.  I wouldn't waste my time or money on the bachelor's degree because really it isn't going to help you.  I would however shadow someone who owns a business like you wish to open to see how they run thiers.

uhh being a massage therapist, you'd have to rub people all day long, so unless you have strong hands and dont mind rubbing on all types of people.. old... hairy... ugly... fat... stinky... then it wouldnt be too bad... and if you run your own massage place then you can choose who you work on.... legal secretary you'd more than likely be working for rich lawyer's who most the the time are pricks, but some of them can be nice... i have friends and family who have done both jobs.. and thus far the massage therapist one has worked out better...

Try to start with places where people are health and appearance conscious.  Tanning salons, spas, hair salons, chiropractors, physical therapists, cosmetic surgeons, dry cleaners, etc.  Realtors are also good.  Try to strike up strategic alliances with these people where you endorse one another.  An endorsement from someone that is trusted goes a long way.  If you can create a cooperative referral program with several businesses, you'll soon have more clients than you know what to do with.\n\nGood luck,\n\nPat Rigsby\nwww.fitnessprofitsecrets.com

first, find a salon location to rent out. then you will need to decide how many and what types of beds you want - locate a lotion distributor to offer lotions in your salon for your clients, buy towels and other necessary items, promote your business with an ad or coupon offers in your local papers and flyers, and open. \nGood luck!

First, check your local library for books on this subject.  Next, check Amazon and eBay for ditto.\n\nIn particular, there's one book which I think is pretty good - I believe it's called The FabJob Guide to being a personal shopper.\n\nYou've got a fair amount of research ahead of you!\n\nBut the hardest part will be getting clients.  I obviously don't know what field you're currently in or what contacts you may have, but you'll need to do some marketing of yourself to get your name out there.

You should have some basic forms for people to fill out with health history etc.\nYour school should teach you what conditions to avoid working on, what is contraindicated etc.\n\nAsk a few massage therapists that are already out of school if you can see the forms they use, make copies and keep them in a file.\nThen along with that, keep what you get in school, and the salon you work in, or other places you go may also have forms to use.\nKeep all your originals.(save for yourself -- I have been in business 10+ yrs & still have old papers like this in a file just in case I want to go back & change things)\nCompile the questions you think are the best or apply the most to where you are working.\nIf you are an employee of a salon, the owner will probably have to approve of it-- vs. if you are just renting space as an independent contractor.

You will need a number of licenses notably a public health license and preferably a liquor license as well. If you are customer with a bank and you have a good relationship with them, you would best off approaching them first. You might also want to read about setting up a business and writing a business plan. Finally, you might want to recruit key staff msot notably a chef if you are not planning to cook yourself. For advice relevant to your area, you might want to speak with your local chamber of commerce as well as your local business advice bureau. If you are a franchisee, the franchiser should provide you with advice about setting up your restaurant.
