Funding answers for salons & barbershops in the Conway, SC area

Short answers before a form goes in.

Call (843) 212-2076
Can a one-chair Horry County, SC salon get financing?

It can ask. Partners read the owner's credit and the business deposits together for a small salon.

Does booth-rent income count?

It counts as income if it is deposited and reported. Show it separately from service sales.

Can I finance used salon equipment?

Some partners will, with a bill of sale and photos; others fund only new equipment.

Is a salon cash advance a loan?

No. The funder buys a slice of future card receipts and takes it from each day's sales.

Can nail salon ventilation be financed with the spas?

It can be on the same equipment quote or on a separate contractor bid. Ask the partner whether installation work is financed with the equipment, and check with the permit office for the address before the work starts.
