Starting a Home Massage Business

To start a massage business out of your home, follow these steps:

  1. Get trained as a massage therapist.
  2. Create a business plan for services, pricing, and marketing.
  3. Obtain permits and licenses to operate legally.
  4. Invest in equipment like a table and oils.
  5. Set policies for hours, booking, payments.
  6. Market through ads and partnering.
  7. Offer promotions to build clients.
  8. Set your rates based on costs, location, and skills.
  9. Focus on great service and relationships.

Income and Growth

Income potential depends on reputation, location, and hours. Many home masseuses make $50-$150 per hour with regulars. Jobs for massage therapists will likely grow 26% by 2026 as it helps many clients destress.

Specialized Services and Additional Considerations

Consider extra training to do specialized therapy like dry needling. Keep nails trim for safety. Offer house calls to increase business. Stretching and massage help many medical issues. Some massage therapists work in offices or travel. Physical therapists even make house calls now. Ask in advance if onsite massage is available and about fees. Evaluate if paperwork of having your own business fits your skills and time.
