Is 456120 the right code for a beauty supply store?

If your work overlaps, also read the definitions for 812112 (beauty salons) and 424210 (drugs and druggists' sundries merchant wholesalers), then choose the code that matches your largest source of revenue.

What is the SBA size standard for 456120?

The SBA size standard for 456120 is $34M in average annual receipts. SBA averages total gross receipts over the last five completed fiscal years and adds in any affiliates under common control. A beauty supply store at or below that figure counts as small for SBA 7(a) and 504 loans and for federal small business contracts.

What financing do beauty supply stores use?

Inventory lines and supplier terms carry stock, while SBA 7(a) loans fund buildouts and acquisitions. Online beauty brands often use revenue based financing and inventory loans. Lenders look at inventory turns, gross margins and sales channels. Businesses within the $34M SBA size standard can also use SBA 7(a) loans of up to $5 million for working capital, equipment or a buyout, and SBA 504 loans for owner occupied buildings.
