First and foremost, a significant portion of the funding will be allocated towards the purchase of a turnkey business. By acquiring an existing tanning salon, I will be able to hit the ground running and minimize the time and effort required for setup.

Business Plan
Our plan to growing this business is to invest in advertising and offering seasonal deals/offers (ex. Prom tanning discount, wedding season discounts) to bring in new potential customers. We also plan to add in other small business’s hand made goods like pottery, candles, personal care products, etc. There are a few open rooms that we plan to rent out to other estheticians- this could potentially open up new services depending on the estheticians services Dear Potential Investors, I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to you today with an exciting opportunity that not only has the potential for great financial returns but also holds the promise of transforming lives - my small business, a tanning salon. As a stay-at-home mom, I am constantly seeking ways to contribute to my family's income while also being present for my children. I firmly believe that the tanning salon industry presents a lucrative and untapped market that aligns perfectly with my goals. By investing in my business, you will not only be supporting a hardworking mom but also enabling my husband to be more involved and present with our family. One of the key reasons why I believe investing in a tanning salon is a wise decision is the ever-increasing demand for beauty and wellness services. People are becoming more conscious of their appearance and are actively seeking ways to enhance their self-confidence. A tanning salon offers a safe and convenient way for individuals to achieve that sun-kissed glow all year round. By investing in this business, you will be tapping into a market that is poised for growth and profitability. Moreover, I have carefully considered the location of the tanning salon. I have identified a prime location in a bustling neighborhood, which boasts a high footfall and a demographic that aligns perfectly with our target audience. This strategic positioning will ensure a steady stream of customers, thereby maximizing the potential for profitability. Furthermore, I am excited to share that the face of the building where my tanning salon will be located is due to be remodeled by the landlord soon. This renovation will not only enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of the salon but also attract more customers by creating a modern and inviting atmosphere. This added advantage will further contribute to the success and profitability of the business. I understand the importance of providing a superior customer experience. My salon will be equipped with state-of-the-art tanning beds, ensuring the utmost comfort and safety for our clients. Additionally, I plan to offer personalized services and packages that cater to individual needs, fostering customer loyalty and repeat business. Investing in my tanning salon not only supports my entrepreneurial aspirations but also addresses a pressing concern - my husband's physically demanding job. His health has been deteriorating due to the toll his work takes on his body. By investing in my business, you will not only be helping me provide for my family but also enabling my husband to transition into a less physically demanding role. This will not only improve his overall well-being but also allow him to spend more quality time with our family. In conclusion, I believe that investing in my small business, a tanning salon, is a decision that encompasses both financial prudence and social impact. By supporting me, you will be empowering a dedicated stay-at-home mom, enabling my husband to prioritize his health, contributing to the local economy, and benefiting from the upcoming building renovation. I am confident that with your investment, my business will thrive and become a beacon of success. Thank you for considering this opportunity. I look forward to discussing this further and exploring how we can mutually benefit from this venture. Warm regards, Krystal Doan

Self Identified Competition
Red Hot Chili Peppers and Motor City tanning are the nearest to the location. Motor city offers red light therapy services and is also small business owned. Red Hot Chili Peppers is a chain of tanning salons. They are not as personable, hygienic or inviting. In a highly competitive industry like tanning salons, it is crucial to differentiate oneself from the rest. I firmly believe that my salon stands out due to its unwavering commitment to cleanliness and thoroughness. I understand that a clean and hygienic environment is paramount to the success of any beauty and wellness establishment. At my tanning salon, cleanliness is not just a priority; it is a core value. I will ensure that every aspect of the salon, from the tanning beds to the waiting area, is meticulously cleaned and maintained. By providing a spotless and sanitary environment, I aim to create an atmosphere that promotes relaxation and tranquility for my customers. This attention to detail will not only set my salon apart but also contribute to the overall positive experience that customers seek. I will make it my goal to enhance customer experiences and ensure that my customers leave feeling satisfied and rejuvenated. Whether it is recommending the appropriate tanning lotion or providing expert advice on achieving their desired tan, I will go the extra mile to ensure that my customers receive the highest level of care and attention. In addition to cleanliness and thoroughness, I am dedicated to creating a relaxing and pleasant atmosphere for my customers. I believe that a tanning salon should be a haven where individuals can escape from the stresses of everyday life and indulge in a moment of self-care. From soothing music to comfortable seating, I will pay attention to every detail to create an ambiance that promotes relaxation and tranquility.
