Want to go self employed part time in spray tanning ADVICE PLEASE.?

Nathsgirl

I am currently unemployed and having no luck job wise. I am interested in going self employed as a spray tanning techitian. Thing is i havent a clue where to start.
Will the job centre help me with funding etc for the day course i will have to go on for public liability? and help with equipment?
Would just like advice on where to go from here really, i know i would really enjoy the challange of being self employed and just want to know what help was available.
And how to get into it x

Have you researched your market? In many areas the supply of beauty salons far outreaches the demand.

Are you really really sure you want to go SE, have you properly researched about going SE, you dont want to start and find its not soemthing for you or your not making money,

Why part time and why self employed?

I sincerely hope not as they will be throwing cash at you for little return.

WHY ??? how very rude.
But ifyou mUST KNOW so that i am available for other work , really annoys me that youve obv just asumed that i must be some kind of spunger!!!!!
There are alot of reasons y people might want to do anything , i am wanting to broaden my options and have something to fall back on. But still be available for full time work. I posted this as its first time ive been unemployed so dont know whats available to me . NOT THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO EXPLAIN TO ANYONE.
But someone needs to stick up for those outa work that are trying to get back in to work , not everyone should be tared with same brush :mad:

Grammar, spelling and punctuation is important as part of a business plan. I suspect that there may be a failing in this department.

OP can I just ask how long have you been looking for a job ? a month, 3 months

is this SE idea just a spur of the moment or have you been thinking of it for some time ?

have you looked at what tanning places are available where you live ? as it would be hard to compete with already established ones,

wouldnt you need to get some qualifications first

Nathsgirl

Yes i know that DCFC79.............you always get those people. But the fact of the matter is........why answer a post if you really have no intention of being informative? Isnt that what a forum is for?
And i posted in the relevant section. I wasnt the one that opted to answer a question i simply couldnt answer , just criticise !!!! judas your in the wrong thread

I really dont think you can help further but thanks anyway.
I need proper advice from professionals , i was just interesed if anyone had the experience and could offer advice. Didnt realise it would offend.
Obviously everyone has different views .....and i appreciate those who have replied for taking the time.
