Build Your Wig Business: Business Ready™ is Course 3 in the 6-course wig-making pathway, designed for makers who are ready to turn practical wig construction skills into a solid, real-world business foundation. Focused strictly on business fundamentals—not branding, website building, or marketing, which are covered in later courses—you will learn to choose profitable ready-to-wear wigs, custom units, and add-on services; define exactly what clients receive; calculate true costs for hair, materials, packaging, fees, overhead, and your time; and set prices that support sustainable profit. The course is organized into five practical modules: 1. Wig Products & Services 2. Materials, Time, Pricing & Profit 3. Custom Orders, Deposits & Policies 4. Records, Insurance & Local Requirements 5. Business Ready™ Plan.
Through clear, wig-specific tools and decision-making exercises, you will build a reliable custom order process from consultation through collection, establish deposits, payment schedules, turnaround times, and client policies, and create simple records for sales, expenses, inventory, and client orders. You will also gain an introductory understanding of insurance, registration, tax basics, and local business requirements so you know what to research and put in place. In the hands-on Business Ready™ Plan module, you will create your actual starter business plan—defining your real offers, costs, prices, and policies—then prepare a portfolio-ready plan and implementation checklist you can use as the foundation for your wig business.
