As a "night person," I love 24-hour businesses -- less traffic, closer parking, faster service -- if it's possible to do it in the middle of the night, I probably do. I'd definitely get my hair cut at a shop like that (if I had hair). Many factors help make a night owl business profitable, but here are three key ones:

1) Night owl customers - some cities just don't have enough people who are out running around in the middle of the night to sustain small businesses other than a few restaurants. So it would be essential to conduct thorough market research to ensure that enough potential customers exist.

2) Night owl employees - some people love working graveyard shifts, but most don't. Not only might you have to pay more to attract these employees, but they generally have higher absentee rates, more health insurance claims, etc. (which can increase your overhead). Just as you need to do market research on customer potential, you need to investigate the availability of local labor to fill positions (especially the licensed positions you'd have).

3) Excellent Security - the risk of robbery, assault, and disruptive or annoying behavior are significantly higher after dark than in the daytime, and the risk escalates even higher still after midnight. More steps are required to protect your property, employees, and customers on the graveyard -- and the costs of these steps can eat away at profits. So an accurate cash flow projection that's broken down by shift would be a good idea.

Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Hello,

I wanted to ask how committed are you to this new business idea you have. I wanted to open up a dry cleaners but I did the comparison and found that a home based business was a much better way to go. I found Platinum One Destination in the Home Business Connection magazine and it changed my life and I saw returns immediatly. Check out my website to see if this opportunity is for you http://jaquetta.p1drevolution.com

Your Welcome BrownSugar56,

I think your business idea is very creative, please don't take it the wrong way. My aunt in South Carolina is opening up a hair salon in 2009 and I will be a silent investor. Me personally, I am not the type to run a brick and motor business. A physical business is not for me, I much rather a single person home business. My investment was minimal and I make $5000 weekly at the least. No employees, no lease/rent, no loans to pay. And I like to travel, so Platinum One Destionations was a win win for me.
