Does anyone have a guide to opening a shop? What are upfront cost involved and what legal process needs to be followed. I have done my research online but nothing much has come of it.

I'm sure this topic has been discussed here at least once in the last 15 months since you joined.
The processes and costs are much the same as opening any business. Quality image costs. So many variables in costs, if you don't understand this principle, maybe you should forget about it.
The biggest specific hurdles might be changing the existing use of premises:
1. getting the owner's approval to use as massage shop (had 3 knock backs recently on a project I looked at for an aspiring ML)
2. getting a council DA if you are changing the existing use of the premises.
Besides the cost involved I think there is also an extended background check.
The property owner is going to want to know your financial arrangements; the council may want evidence of your qualifications for the business.
It's not really tough, you just gotta ask them. Or just lodge the DA application and see how they respond.
Bunty... why the hassle of a shop. Don’t wait for the punters to come to you, go to the punters my friend with the Rub&Tug Express. Buy an unused tour bus and kit it out just like the shop. Bring us a line up on wheels. Being a forum guy you know exactly what we want from our girls so there’ll never be a complaint right!
On time and on top... the R&T express cumming soon to town near you!
That gives a whole new meaning to "she"ll be coming round the mountain when she comes"😁😁
If you’re not sure how to do it, stay out of the game. Market already saturated and most of the well known shops are struggling right now. On top of that, no new girls coming in to the country, where will you find staff?
I think his asking for regular ml !
Maybe a thai haha
What sort of "joint"?
have you ever operated a small business before?
Have you ever operated a successful small business before?
Have you Operated a successful small business working in the Services and/or hospitality sector?
Will you be papasan/ manager and operating reception seven days a week or are you relliant upon other staff to do this for you
What will be the point of difference that you can offer that other established businesses not currently catering for or, catering well?
Do you have the capital to do an appropriate level of fit out if required?
And operational funds available To maintain business operations when you are making losses over many successive weeks.
Do you really have solid industry contacts with staff, who are prepared to not only try to work at the shop but remain steadfast true and loyal?
Are you technically proficient at massage
If you were really serious, youd be talking to an accountant and/or business consultant.
PS , QVB, with Nicole and Vicki to industry legends, now running a shop that is themselves and one other woman on roster if it’s that easy, why don’t they have three or four girls on each day?
The problem with QVB’s current state of business level is three folds:
1. The CBD is half dead because many people are working from home.
2. They used to get lots of walk in from tourists both interstate and overseas, now they have none.
3. Lack of new talents which has already been brought up.
I think with just the two Mamasan working, they can still make a living. Cherry 🍒 on Friday has her own client base, yours truly included. So Cherry 🍒 is fine just to work there one day a week to entertain her regulars. But if they put another girl on, then there’s not enough punters at that section of town to support 3 mls a day.
Just my two cents.
