BUSINESS START UP

Starting your business can be a daunting task.  Where do you begin?

​

There are many variables to look into, especially if you are a new medical practice.  First, we recommend you itemize your goals and vision of your new business in a realistic time frame.  Plan for unexpected delays.  Prioritize items based on your budget, note that marketing is usually your highest budget item for ROI other than employee salaries.
