Secrets to Financing a New Practice

When planning to launch a squat practice, there are so many business decisions to make and in a logical order - from selecting a great location, planning the premises, choosing design, build & equipment suppliers, enlisting compliance support, the recruitment of your clinical and front-of-house teams, taking on marketing support and selecting professional services, including an architect, lawyer and accountant.

To add to this is the all-important task of seeking funding to add to your own resources. Seeking expert advice is paramount and can make a massive difference in terms of (a) how much cash can be raised, (b) how favourable the terms and conditions are and (c) how quickly finance can be raised.  Your ideal advisers should include ex-bank managers, who know the ‘inside track’ of how financial institutions assess risk and will guide you through the preparation of a business plan that meets all the lender's needs and, most importantly, matches your requirements and aspirations.

The real benefits of an inside track, especially in turbulent political and economic times, are many, as sourcing funding can be difficult. Ensuring that funding precisely matches all aspects of a project will, unless you have the knowledge and experience, be hugely time consuming.

The process of securing finance should be as trouble free as possible, avoiding stress and saving valuable time. This is why it is crucial to invest time at the outset so that your financial advisor can understand exactly what you need for your practice launch before they use their experience and contacts to source competitive finance for you, and rapidly.

 So, what is a good starting point for finding out more?
