Financing for Barbers
Barbershop owners usually need finance for fit-outs, additional chairs, quality clippers and tools, or the working capital to open a second site. Around the $50,000 mark is a common ballpark for kitting out a new shop or refreshing an existing one without draining the till.
Cockatoo helps you find a finance partner that suits a cash-heavy, appointment-driven business, so you can grow chairs and locations without choking your day-to-day cash.
Common questions
Barbers — business loan questions
Can I finance a shop fit-out?
Yes. Chairs, basins, mirrors, signage and clippers are commonly financed so a new or refreshed shop can start earning while you repay over time. Cockatoo can match you to a lender comfortable with hospitality-style fit-outs.
What about funding a second location?
Opening a second barbershop needs working capital for fit-out, stock and the early quiet weeks before regulars build. We help you find finance structured around that ramp-up rather than expecting instant full chairs.
