A business plan for acupuncturist should briefly describe how Eastern medicine has gained acceptance in the U.S. mainstream over the past 10-20 years – this back-story, while it may seem obvious, is great background for the banker or investor and will help contextualize the business venture for the novice reader. Next, you should describe in as much detail as possible the sort of services you will offer. Are there package deals that cover multiple visits, as opposed to one-off appointments where you treat a patient with just a single round of needles? Will your business have an office, or do you travel to see clients? And is there an insurance reimbursement plan you have in mind, and what medical regulations are you exposed to?
Other considerations for your business plan:
• - What is your background in medicine? How many staff people will you need?
• - How will you acquire patients? Any referral sources?
• - What is the industry like in your area? Growing marketing opportunity, shrinking, static?
• - Who are the competitive players nearest to you?
• - If you have an office already, can you estimate the overhead reliably?
• - When would you reach break-even?
Your acupuncture business plan should include a three-year financial model that shows your revenues, balance sheet, cash flow, profit and loss, and break-even analysis, as well as a monthly breakdown for the first year of your financials post-funding. A detailed use of funds table is also imperative, particularly for a bank officer who wants a careful accounting of how you envision spending a loan or line of credit.
