    I’ve been getting spray tans for over 25 years, but recently decided to dive in & make a business out of it. Listening to these podcasts has been so inspiring & the amount of things I’ve learned - both about tanning and running a business - are invaluable

Franchise Versus Startup: Exploring Beauty Business Paths with Bennett Maxwell
Q: Could you walk us through what a typical franchise journey looks like, from initial interest to opening a store?
A franchise journey starts with selecting a brand, paying the franchise fee, and then securing a territory or city. You work with an in-house team for site selection, financing, and lease negotiation. Then you proceed through loan funding, construction, and a grand opening, all supported by the franchisor's systems, marketing guidance, and training. The aim is to follow a proven model rather than reinventing the wheel.
Kara-Holden
Q: What would you say to yourself when you were just starting out?
I would say just go for it. Bet on yourself and just trust your gut and your intuition.
