What My Clinic Startup Actually Cost ($47,450 Breakdown)

I spent $47,450 opening my clinic. It didn't have to cost that much.

Here's what my startup costs actually looked like: Business setup & permits: $2,500. Lease, utilities & furniture: $8,900. Equipment, supplies & tech: $13,200. Branding, marketing & hiring: $4,850. That's $29,450. Then I bought an $18,000 Piccolo machine.

The good news: you don't need one to open your doors. Every clinic is different, but knowing your numbers is the first step.
