Salon furniture resale in Kenya: Planning Worksheets and Source Register
Editorial update: 28 October 2026 · Business planning reference · Review scope
Keep records that answer a specific question
Use a buyer brief, quotation comparison, acceptance record and cash ledger matched to salon furniture resale.
This is a planning reference for salon furniture resale. The order below is an invented teaching case. It is not a completed customer job, an operating approval or a prediction of demand or earnings.
The example offer and its boundary
Fictional stock purchase: two used hydraulic styling chairs for resale to a new two-station salon. Advertise each chair separately with its own underside photograph, seat height range, arm-to-arm width, base width and disclosed upholstery defects. The sample buyer has a narrow entrance, so delivery is conditional on measured access. Exclude powered massage chairs, barber recliners with unknown mechanisms and any chair with an unresolved frame or hydraulic fault. Reupholstery may improve appearance but does not prove structural fitness.
A prefilled brief to adapt
| Record field | Teaching entry or business-specific prompt |
|---|---|
| Guide and case reference | 0337 — invented planning case |
| Buyer group | New salon owners and operators replacing selected furniture. |
| Output and boundary | Used salon furniture sold with dimensions, condition photographs and disclosed repairs. |
| Charging basis | furniture item |
| Input suitability | Inspect before payment; a cloth cover or fresh vinyl must not prevent viewing the supporting frame and underside. |
| Final acceptance gate | Buyer matches A and B to their photographs and measurements, then accepts the technician-cleared functions and records transport damage before signing. |
| Unresolved evidence | Neither chair has been sourced or inspected; used purchase and repair costs are unverified. |
Carry the same reference through the documents
- Buyer brief: approved specification, exclusions, authority and delivery window.
- Supplier comparison: actual quote, matched specification, quantity, landed cost, expiry and buying check.
- Work and acceptance card: actual observations, accepted/held/rejected output, changes and correction references.
- Cash ledger: invoice, advance, credits, collections, balance and date due.
- Decision note: evidence, unresolved limits, responsible person and next review point.
An invented invoice-and-collection record
TRAINING-0337: a fictional order for the scoped offer in section 01, using 2 priced units at KSh 11,000.00 each. Buyer group: New salon owners and operators replacing selected furniture. No buyer was contacted and no order was completed.
Teaching invoice = 2 x KSh 11,000.00 = KSh 22,000.00. The selected input lines in section 06 total KSh 18,200.00; their difference from this assumed invoice is KSh 3,800.00 before excluded costs and tax.
For cash-timing practice only, suppose a buyer pays a 30% advance of KSh 6,600.00. The invoice balance is KSh 15,400.00. If the selected input bill is paid before the balance arrives, additional cash of KSh 11,600.00 is needed after applying the advance. The advance is counted once, not again at final collection.
These sample entries are not your actual job records. Keep names, contacts and payment references in private copies. The paid pack contains offline editable costing, operations and cash-planning tools; this public sheet explains how the records connect.
