Setting up your own practice
It all begins with an idea. You are finally ready to turn your dream of owning your own practice into reality. You cannot wait to be your own boss, do things your own way and provide a service that is currently missing from your community. But then… the reality hits. What if I fail? I don’t know where to start? How do I attract clients? How will people refer to me? These are all questions that are relevant when thinking about starting your business. However; do not let the doubt blur your goal - you can do it!
So - what are the first steps to take when you are thinking about starting your own practice?
Ensure you have a solid business plan. Without this, you will fail. You can find multiple templates online, or alternatively our Practice Set-Up package offers support in this.
Ensure you are qualified and skilled to provide the services that you are advertising. If you are a new graduate - do you have supervision in place? How will you track your CPD? How will you connect with other professionals to keep developing your existing skillset and knowledge to ensure you are providing quality care to your clients?
Surround yourself with people that can help you fill in the gaps. You may be a great clinician, however, you may have no idea about accounting, marketing, recruitment, and retention, or practice management software. Do your research and connect with people that can help you. You can find free courses online, or hire professionals to do the heavy lifting for you.
SCOPE & SEQUENCE offers a Practice Set-Up service, which takes the guesswork away and will get you seeing your clients sooner! To get you started on your journey, contact us today to arrange your first consultation.
