How can I maximize my profit from a home based relaxing massage business for women?

There are two ways to go

1. Set this up as a legitimate business (license, insurance, etc.) and you can write off many of your house hold expenses from your taxes.

if you don’t need the tax write off, you might think about option 2
2. Have an all-cash business and work off the books. There is the risk of the IRS finding out, which will result in additional penalties when you end up paying taxes.

The think to keep in mind is whether or not it is legal to operate a business from your home. Things like this are usually covered under city ordinances and very greatly from one city to another. If it is against the law and your neighbors don’t like the additional traffic that your business is generating there is a good chance someone will report you.

If it is legal, your best bet is to do everything on the up & up. Most massage therapist travel to their clients and bring their table with them vs having the client in their home.
