If a relative dies and leaves you his salon in his will, what must you do to run it legally?

To legally run a salon that has been bequeathed to you through a will, you must obtain your own shop license. This regulation ensures that you meet the necessary standards and qualifications to operate a business in the beauty industry, which includes compliance with local health and safety codes and licensing requirements established by the cosmetology board or relevant regulatory authority.

Transferring ownership and obtaining a temporary permit may be part of the process, but they do not replace the requirement for you to secure your own shop license. Additionally, changing the salon's name is not required; the focus should be on ensuring that the business is licensed correctly under your name to provide services legally.
