Review the Competition
Long before you open an environmental medicine practice in your area, it's worthwhile to see how many competitors you have. Try our link below to find competitors near you. Complete the form by entering your city, state and zip code to get a list of environmental medicine practices that are close by.
Is the established competition doing a good job? It's important to understand their strengths and weaknesses and think through how you'll stake up against those established businesses.
Learn from Others Who Are Already In This Space
If you are seriously contemplating launching an environmental medicine practice, it's a wise move to speak with somebody who is already in the business. If you think your local competitors will give you advice, you're being overoptimistic. The last thing they want to do is help you to be a better competitor.
However, a fellow entrepreneur who has started an environmental medicine practice outside of your community may be willing to share their entrepreneurial wisdom with you, once they realize that you are not going to directly compete with them in their community. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. In my experience, you may have to call ten business owners in order to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.
Where can you find an environmental medicine practice founder who is willing to advise you because you live in different cities?
It's easy. Here's a link you can use to find a mentor outside of your area.
Reasons to Pursue an Environmental Medicine Practice Acquisition
More than a few experts advise prospective environmental medicine practice startup entrepreneurs to pursue an acquisition strategy. But what's so great about an environmental medicine practice acquisition?
The availability of acquisition capital should be a major factor in your decision. Commercial lenders are usually more inclined to fund acquisitions than startups.
Although there are a lot of factors to consider, the decision to buy a business to get acquisition capital almost always pays off.
Consider Buying a Franchise
The odds of achieving your primary goal of making a success of your new business are greatly increased if you buy a franchise and leverage their successful brand and track record.
Prior to starting an environmental medicine practice, you would be wise to determine whether franchise opportunities in your space might simplify your entering the business.
