Abstract
This research shows the results of interviews with owners of beauty shops, respect
to the reasons they started their business.The responses were contrasted with the
theory of organizational capital. All the responses were categorized inthe six
dimensions of organizational capital, and were identified although different
frequencies: the financial dimension was the most mentioned by respondents in
24.3 % of cases, followed by technological capital with 21.4 %, the symbolic capital
and social capital were identified in 15.7 % of the statements of the interviewees,
the cultural capital 12.9 % and 10% commercial capital. It becomes clear that
although financial capital is essential for initiation in the field of beauty shop,
financing rarely comes from the formal financial system, loans are common
relatives or family support in regard to loan space or initial input to start the
business.
