4 Key Facts: How to Sell a Beauty or Care Business in 2025

Average Sale Time for Beauty Businesses is 9-12 Months

A strong reputation and a prime location can elevate your business’s value significantly. Highlighting these strengths can attract premium buyers.

Client Retention is a Top Priority for 70% of Buyers

Beauty businesses thrive on repeat clients and strong relationships. Keeping your loyal customers through a sale adds value and stability.

65% of Beauty Business Sales Involve Lease Transfer Complications

Complex lease transfers or short-term lease agreements can discourage potential buyers. Ensuring that your lease terms are favorable is essential.

How to Sell a Beauty or Care Business in 2025: 3 Challenges and Solutions

Challenge 1:
Retaining Loyal Clients During the Sale

Beauty businesses rely heavily on long-term, loyal clients who expect high levels of personal service. Announcing a sale can create uncertainty, leading to client loss and a decrease in revenue. Buyers are particularly concerned about whether clients will stay on after the transition.

Unbroker Solution:

We help you develop a detailed communication plan to keep your clients informed and reassured throughout the sale process. From client letters to in-person introductions with the new owner, we provide the tools to maintain client confidence and loyalty.

Challenge 2:
Managing Lease Transfers and Location Value

Beauty and care businesses are often highly dependent on their physical location. Transferring a lease can be a major hurdle, especially if landlords are involved in vetting new owners. Unresolved lease issues can delay a sale or even cause a deal to fall through.

Unbroker Solution:

Our team can support the entire lease transfer process, working directly with landlords to secure approvals and negotiate favorable terms. We ensure that your location remains a strong selling point, making your business more attractive to serious buyers.

Challenge 3:
Accurately Valuing High-End Equipment and Fixtures

From styling chairs and spa beds to specialized tools like laser machines or skincare technology, the value of your equipment can vary widely. Incorrectly valuing these assets can lead to disagreements with buyers or leave money on the table.

Unbroker Solution:

We facilitate a comprehensive assessment of your equipment, considering brand, condition, and market demand. Our detailed valuation reports help justify your asking price, ensuring you get a fair value for every asset.

Unbroker made selling my spa feel like a true partnership. They really understood the beauty industry and knew what buyers were looking for. From day one, they focused on retaining my loyal clients and getting an accurate valuation for my equipment. What impressed me most was how they handled my lease transferβ€”communicating directly with my landlord and taking the stress off my shoulders. Thanks to Unbroker, I found the right buyer without losing the relationships I’d built over the years.
