There is more to starting a chiropractic clinic than finding the right building and making sure you have the proper paperwork in order. To be successful in your business venture, you need to take a deep drive into the costs associated with starting your own practice.

In the first year, you can expect to spend $100,000 or more in initial startup costs, according to a recent survey of chiropractic doctors. An empty office space can cost up to $50 per square foot, which can rise quickly depending on the part of the country you live in. Furniture can easily cost you up to $60,000. Other costs include business and medical insurance, continuing education, license renewal, labor and overhead cost, rent, and other utilities.

On paper, these costs may appear intimidating. But this isn’t the end of the world. Really isn’t. The cost can be made up by the amount you charge each of your clients, which will vary with your services and treatments provided. In 2021, chiropractors in the U.S. indicated they had a 30% to 35% profit margin.

When it’s time to head to the bank, lenders will ask about your start-up costs, your liabilities, your assets, and your net worth. Be prepared to talk about your existing cash flow and your business plans to generate income to pay back bank debt.
