💛 LF001 - Family Law for Salon Owners — Because Life Matters, Not Just Business
At Salon Owners United, we know that running a salon is only one part of your world — and when life shifts, your business can be affected too. This Family Law Guide, created with RLK Solicitors, gives salon owners clear, expert support on separation, divorce, children’s arrangements, prenuptial/postnuptial agreements, and protecting your business assets (pages 3–4).

For salon owners, personal relationships and business finances often overlap. A breakup, dispute or informal agreement can risk your salon’s value, cash flow, client base or even ownership without the right legal protections (page 4).

This guide helps you navigate sensitive family matters with confidence — ensuring your family, your future, and your salon stay protected.

✨ Salon Owners United — supporting you in business, and supporting you when life happens.

⚖️ LG003 - Employment Law for Salon Owners — Get It Right, Protect Your Salon

With the Employment Rights Bill tightening obligations for employers, having properly drafted, salon-specific contracts has never been more important. Generic templates won’t protect you — and tribunal judges see straight through “off-the-shelf” documents (page 5).

This guide walks you through everything you must have in place:
✔️ Legally compliant written contracts
✔️ Tailored agreements for full-time, part-time, apprentices & freelancers (page 4)
✔️ Enforceable restrictive covenants to protect your clients & pricing
✔️ Essential policies and record-keeping that prevent claims before they start

Running a salon already comes with enough challenges — don’t let employment law be the one that catches you out.
