A. First, go to your local downtown and find some scantily clad women with strong hands...then, tint the the windows to your "massage parlor" so nobody can see what is going on in there. Next, you'll need a guy named Bruno to guard the door. After that, charge more for happy endings...

A. Try taking out advertisements in upscale magazines and newspapers. Maybe try negotiating with local gyms, either to help you advertise or to allow you to take some clients in the gym itself. You'll find that word of mouth is the most important form of advertising after the initial period, so do your best to make people feel valued. They'll tell their friends, trust me.

A. The best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you're interested in. I recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box. Associations may be a good avenue to explore. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet.

A. Are you already trained as a massage therapist? If not you are going to need to get some formal training. Then you need to check with your state if you require a permit. The next step would be to advertise your services maybe in the local newspaper or craiglist. Ofcourse you will need to invest in your different massage lotions and another great addition would be some business cards you can distribute to people you meet. Oh I almost forgot the massage table especially if you are based out of your home.

A. Talk with companies that have employees working 8hr desk jobs. Mention you are promoting your chair massage business and you would like to include their business on your monthly rotation. Explain that you plan to visit office buildings each week and would like to include their business on the rotation. Initially, offer 2hours of work during a specific day of the week. Anyone interested must email you for a 15 minute time (aha! you now have their email!!!). If no one emails you, then show up anyway (the first time). Offer 50% off fee the first time, payment coming directly to you from each client. Even if you only get one person the first time with contact info, you are at least "in" with the company.

A. There are a lot of industries that can use smart people, but most of them would not let you use your Ph D. An MBA might help, but you might want to talk to some adventure capitalists active in your field. (Check who has invested in some of the companies active in your industry). They would be looking for the combination of industry knowledge and business sense.

A. Massage therapy business means you'll be in very close contact with customers -- and that could mean complaints, and worse, lawsuits So use a legal structure that protects you as the business existence is separate from you as the owner. Corporations' main benefit is its limited liability with owners are not personally responsible for the debts of the business, and when sued, they sue the business and not the owner. The main disadvantage of the corporate form can be summed up in two words: taxation and complexity. In what amounts to double taxation, you must pay taxes on both the income the corporation earns and the income you earn as an individual. Also consider LLCs. The main attraction of an LLC is its limited liability status, a feature… [cont.]
