Looking for a tattoo parler business plan? No matter how you spell it, the tattoo parlor business has dramatically risen in popularity in recent years. From popular TV shows to high-profile athletes and celebrities sporting tattoos, the market for tattoo art has exploded nationwide. Your average tattoo joint, however, functions on a very simple business model: provide an artistic service to consumers in exchange for a set fee, typically paid by credit card at the point of an initial sale. Your business plan needs to show that you know what this industry is all about and that you're prepared to handle the issues that typically arise with a tattoo parlor business model:
• What permitting issues will you face?
• How do you acquire, vet, and compensate artists?
• What sort of rent and other overhead will you need to pay for?
• Are there medical issues the facility needs to take into account, and if so, how?
• What is the total funding you need to expand a business like this?
If you have worked as a tattoo artist in the past, or owned your own parlor, provide a full bio for yourself and for anyone who will be involved in starting the new business with you. If there's past performance to speak of (i.e., your company has sales from past years), consider creating a table that shows your balance sheets and P&L statements for the recent past. The SBA will require a 3-year pro forma that shows your revenues, expenses, and other key metrics. This should prove that you can cash flow the loan/line of credit that you'll get.
