When people think of the job-related injuries salon workers suffer, many of them think of back and neck issues, feet issues and other issues related to standing for a significant amount of time. Other people may think of carpel tunnel syndrome, which many salon workers also suffer. People would be right in these assessments, but another, perhaps more debilitating, issue also exists.

Salon workers such as yourself are exposed to numerous chemicals throughout the day, every day they work. If the ventilation in the salon is poor, the exposure could be worse. Hair dyes, acrylic nail products, permanent wave solutions and bleaches all give off potentially toxic chemicals. The air in most salons has at least some concentration of chemicals such as acetone, formaldehyde, ammonia and toluene, along with methyl methacrylate.

Now that you are starting a business here in New Jersey, you may be looking for the perfect piece of property for your venture. You may think that finding the right spot to give your business the best chance of success will be the most difficult part of the process.

Sadly, that may be yet to come. Once you find that piece of property, you will need to make sure that you can use it for your purposes. If you are new to commercial real estate transactions, you may not be familiar with the different types of zoning. In order to use the property you find for your business, you need to make sure that it's properly zoned. 

You found your dream home here in Linwood. You negotiated and signed a purchase and sales agreement and went through the due diligence process before attending the closing and taking possession of your new home. Then, at some point, you either discovered or otherwise found out that something was wrong with the title to your property.

Perhaps someone came forward to make a claim against what you thought was your property. Now, you could face litigation to regain the rights you thought you had.

When you and your partners start a new business here in New Jersey, you probably think that you will work together well into the future. You form your partnership, draft a partnership agreement and open your doors, but what happens if one of your partners leaves the business at some point?

Now is the time to prepare for that eventuality even though none of you think it will happen at this point in time. A buyout agreement, also called a buy sell agreement, may be the solution. You might consider it as sort of a prenuptial agreement for your partnership.
