An operating salon can request business funding for a defined need such as inventory, renovation or expansion, subject to provider rules and business qualifications. Start with what the investment will accomplish and how the salon will support repayment. A new salon without revenue needs a different conversation from an established location with regular bookings.

Which Salon Numbers Help Explain the Request?
Bring monthly receipts, time in business, current financing payments and an estimate of the owner’s credit score. Explain the business model: employee-based services, booth rental or a mix. Revenue from independent renters is not the same as the full retail value of their appointments.
Use booking or processor reports to explain the bank deposits when needed. Separate services, product sales, refunds and prepaid packages so the figures describe actual cash activity rather than an optimistic calendar.
How Should I Budget for an Expansion?
Buying a Chair Is Only Part of the Cost
A $9,000 equipment purchase might also require installation, supplies, training and cash during the ramp-up. Write down those items before requesting an amount. If the added service is expected to bring in $3,000 monthly, estimate the labor and supply costs before deciding how much is available for financing payments.
Forecast a slower booking ramp as well. An available appointment slot is not a paid appointment, and a new service may take time to build repeat customers.
What Should I Prepare Before Applying?
- A quote or budget for the planned purchase.
- Recent revenue and expected seasonal changes.
- Rent, payroll and other recurring obligations.
- Any planned closure during renovations.
- The date you need funds and your cash contribution.
Propello can review a salon’s business funding request; specific industry eligibility and product terms must be confirmed. Do not purchase equipment based on an approval amount you have not received in writing.
Educational information, not a loan offer. Availability and terms depend on the program, property or business, and borrower qualifications. Legal and tax questions should be reviewed with your advisers.
