The cost to open a Palm Beach Mega Tan salon will vary, depending on the number of tanning beds and the extent of renovations and construction work involved.

Cost can range from $160,000 to $300,000; however, a rough estimate for a salon with sixteen tanning rooms would be around $250,000 - $270,000. Amount and type of tanning equipment will play a significant part in these costs.

The new franchisee will need $20,000 for the initial franchise fee, plus approximately $60,000 in unencumbered cash and must be able to raise the balance of the financing from personal or traditional bank financing. There may currently be government assisted loans available in certain areas. Up to 90% of the approved cost to open is often available to applicants.

Leasing may also be an option to consider.
