If you've never been in business before, I would strongly recommend that you talk to a business counselor before you do anything especially spend money. I'd call the local Texas office of SCORE (go to http://www.score.org and input your zip code to find the chapter nearest you), the advice is FREE.





The counselor at SCORE will most likely advise you to write a business plan which is very good advice because it will force you to dig out all of the start up details and the costs of starting a day spa and force you to also understand all of the aspects of this business including the customers you'll concentrate on (your market ) and how you'll go after them.





The counselor will also help you to identify the licenses you'll need and how to apply for them.

Walk into a spa that's already there in another town in Texas. Tell them you are interested in starting a spa yourself. Make sure it's not too close to the other spa or they won't help you.





You need to get business operating licenses. Depending on what services you are going to offer, each person (massage therapist, hair dresser, etc.) will require their own license.
