Types of business loans for beauty salons.

Revenue-based financing

Revenue-based financing (also known as a business cash advance) lets you borrow cash based on future revenue, which you then repay directly as a percentage of your sales. 

TERM LENGTH

1-15 months
MAX LOAN AMOUNT

$1 million

Debt financing

Your classic debt financing, typically repaid in fixed installments over a set period of time, comes in the form of term loans and SBA loans. An SBA loan is backed by the federal government.

TERM LENGTH

6 months-25 years
MAX LOAN AMOUNT

$5 million

Line of credit

A line of credit gives you a lump sum that you can draw from as needed. It helps you stay on top of beauty product supplies, payroll, rent, and other operating expenses when your revenue fluctuates. 

TERM LENGTH

6-24 months
MAX LOAN AMOUNT

$250,000

Equipment financing

Whether your equipment needs an upgrade or you’re expanding the number of booths in your beauty salon, an equipment loan offers competitive financing. If you go with equipment leasing, the assets you lease are used to secure the loan, so you don’t have to pledge other business assets as collateral. 

TERM LENGTH

1-5 years
MAX LOAN AMOUNT

$5 million

Ways to use a beauty salon loan.

Purchase, replace, and upgrade equipment

Equipment and tools can help ensure that your business stays current with the latest industry trends and technologies. With a business loan or equipment financing, you can purchase the equipment that your shop needs.

Invest in advanced technology

Adopting high-tech solutions enhances your operations and gives you a competitive edge. With a beauty salon loan, you could invest in a robust appointment booking system, new computer systems, and more.

Invest in marketing and advertising efforts

A well-executed promotional campaign can attract new customers and help establish your brand’s identity. Use a beauty salon loan to help cover these expenses while keeping on top of other tasks in your salon.

Training and development

In the ever-evolving beauty industry, continuous learning is key. Using a business loan, you could fund training programs to ensure your staff is up-to-date with the latest industry standards and regulations.

FAQs

A loan for a beauty salon provides an injection of working capital, so you can meet your business goals. Interest rates are typically fixed, so you know exactly how much needs to be repaid over what period of time. 

  

Requirements will vary based on loan type and lender. Minimum requirements to apply for a beauty salon loan include:

  • Six months time in business
  • A monthly revenue of at least $8,000 
  • Credit score of 600 or higher

 

Some lenders will accept credit scores as low as 600, but higher credit scores will qualify you for more loans with better rates and payback terms.

 

Costs depend on multiple factors, including the property, the location, equipment needed, and more. Make sure to account for all expenses including rent, legal and accounting fees, marketing, licensing, equipment, payroll, and utility costs.

Financing helps with these costs so you’re able to cover business expenses while still paying yourself. Keep in mind that financing will cost you additional money over time due to interest rates, which can be anywhere between 4% and 10% depending on the loan.

When your beauty salon needs cash in the bank fast, an online business loan is one of the quickest options out there. The application process is quick and straightforward, a funding manager is available to walk you through the process, and you have a large selection of lenders to work with.

An SBA loan can help beauty salon owners get funding that’s backed by the federal government. That means lenders are encouraged to approve these loans because the funds are guaranteed by the SBA. You still apply directly with a lender, which uses SBA guidelines as a starting point for approval. However, the process can be slower compared to other types of financing. 

There are three different types of SBA loans depending on your beauty salon needs. For general working capital, try an SBA 7(a) loan. For purchasing major assets like a building or salon and nail tech equipment, take a look at the SBA 504 program. If you’re a new business that needs a minimal amount of financing to get started, the SBA microloan program can lend you up to $50,000.
