A workplace breaking point in September 2019 prompted Melburnian Naida Alcantara to launch her own home -based salon venture.
Key Points
- According to Statista, more than 50% of Australian small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) are operated out of a home setting, mirroring Alcantara’s business model.
- Alcantara’s initial capital outlay for ‘Naida Salon’ was just $700, achieved by sourcing her equipment from online marketplaces to keep costs low.
- Despite the success of her salon, Alcantara opted to remain in a home-based setting to keep her services affordable.
