When it comes to medical spas in particular, insurance is a top priority. To operate safely and legally, you may need the following types of insurance.
+ General liability insurance - Common insurance that most businesses carry, general liability insurance protects you and your business from lawsuits that are related to accidents or property damage.
+ Professional liability insurance - Commonly known as malpractice insurance, this specialized services covers lawsuits due to various procedures and services you may perform. If someone claims to suffer an injury due to a service you've provided, professional liability insurance can protect you.
+ Workman's Comp - Workers compensation insurance is used to cover lost wages and or medical expenses for your employees in the case of a work-related accident. Many states require workers' compensation insurance for businesses with multiple employees.
If you are a medical director yourself, or already have one, we will help you ensure that you have sufficient coverage for the services you are providing.
6. Legal Compliance
Most states require med spas to be owned by a licensed physician or a corporation that's physician-owned. Fortunately investors and other medical professional can still own and operate medical spas while remaining fully compliant with their states laws. While you'll still need to hire a licensed physician (typically surgeons, plastic surgeons, anesthesiologist , or dermatologist) to remain fully compliant, your day to day will be in your control. You will also need a management services organization to help with payroll accounting, business operations, & hiring. We can help you set all of this up, or help you refine and optimize the systems you already have in place.
7. Location, Location, Location
If you're starting from scratch, we can help you decide on a location that would be best suited for you based on your budget, clientele, and plans for expansion. Some practices attract their clientele by opening in busy downtown areas. Others may find a strip mall or another rural location is more ideal. With any location there are several factors you'll want to keep in mind.
+ Parking & accessibility - Make sure your clients have a convenient place to park, arrive, and enter into your facility. Accessibility is essential for all spas, make sure you have elevators and ramps.
+ Competition - We will research the competition in your area in addition to the most in demand services, and your current clienteles wants and needs.

Keep in mind that where you start may not be where you stay - you may start with a single office and device and expand as your client base grows and refers their friends and family. We are here to help you, and advise you, every step of the way.
