Beauty & Hair Salons business loan FAQs

Can I get a loan to buy a hair salon?
Yes. Salon acquisition finance can cover the purchase price including goodwill, equipment, and stock. Lenders assess the salon trading history, location, client base, and your experience in the industry.
What beauty equipment can be financed?
All commercial beauty equipment qualifies including salon chairs, basins, laser and IPL machines, microdermabrasion equipment, sterilisation equipment, point-of-sale systems, and general salon furniture and fixtures.
How much can I borrow for a salon fitout?
Salon fitout finance is typically available from $5,000 to $300,000 depending on the scope of work. Lenders consider the lease terms, your experience, and expected revenue from the upgraded space.
Do I need security for a salon business loan?
Unsecured loans are available up to $150,000 for qualifying salon businesses. The equipment and fitout itself can sometimes serve as security for larger amounts, resulting in more competitive rates.
Can I finance stock and product inventory?
Yes. Working capital loans and lines of credit can fund ongoing stock purchases. This is particularly useful for salons retailing beauty products alongside their services.
