Rent per day, per shift or independant contractor?

[MJ_Lover_OX]

Do you currently rent?
If so, is it per day or per shift?
How much is your average rent and what does it include?

I opened my office and its doing great but there is only so many massage I can do in a day. Plus the fact that I don't want to work every day. I have a massage room and a more open room where I do active isolated stretching. I have been thinking about renting out the massage room which would leave my schedule open for the AIS and utilize both. Im just torn about hiring someone or just renting out.

The idea of hiring someone can work out better in the long run but more of a headache right now. Im starting to get busy but I'm not exactly busy enough to feed another therapist.

Renting sounds good right now becouse it would garantee me a little something and I wouldnt have to worry about booking clients for someone else

There may come a time though where I need another therapist to cover my clients/new clients.

I'm so confused!
Any and all comments are appreciated.
Thank you

i rent per massage. i pay $10 per massage regardless of the length. i supply everything. i rent one room where it's just me using it. i prefer that one because i love my table and roaster. the other two rooms i rent from another therapist. her table is too high for me even though i put it all the way down. it take too long and is a pain to bring my table upstair, break her's down, put mine up, and so forth.

My 2 cents.........

Do you want to be in the massage business or the real estate business? I think it would be a HUGE pain in the you-know-what to rent your space out by the hour and even the day.

You don't sound like you want to take on the responsibility of having an employee or I.C. I recommend making a decision about what days of the week you want to work, and rent your space out to one person for the 3 or so days a week you are taking off.

If you have a lot of overflow that you can't handle, and/or are doing advertising that your renter could benefit from, you can certainly take that into account when setting the rent for the space.
