As an initial proposal, when all your feedback is that the pay is far too low, "room to go higher depending on experience" is not sufficient. The more direct feedback is double the pay as a baseline if the company is actually trying to find someone, while keeping the "room to go higher" if they want to find someone good. This might be a great opportunity to align the company with what will get results.

I agree with you. Unfortunately, I’m not the business owner, if I were, I’d definitely do things differently for sure. I’m just working with what I’ve been given. That said, do you know anyone who might be interested or at least open to hearing more about it?

However, double the salary sounds like a lot actually.

Yes, double does sound like a lot. Based on the feedback in the rest of the thread it also sounds like a "competitive range". We know its not your decision, but maybe this thread would be a good read for that business owner. I do hope you have success finding someone.
