Massage Therapy Business Plan

Before you begin your practice, you should write a massage therapy business plan.

Why? Because you need to know what you want from your practice and how you are going to get it.

This is like a map or a set of directions for you to follow. It is important for you to know where you are going and how you will get there.

The map can change as you move along in your career. Change can be good and if you find a better path, follow it. Just update your map as you find new direction in your life.

You will start to formulate your business plan by answering questions such as:

What licenses do I need to start?

What types of insurance do I need?

What equipment do I need to buy?

Will I rent office space, use a room in my home, or have an outcall practice?

What will my legal structure be?

What services will I offer?

How much will I charge for each service?

How much do my competitors charge?

What days and hours will I operate?

Who is my target market?

How am I different than my competitors?

How can I market my business?

Start formulating your map prior to finishing school if you can. If you have graduated and still have not written one, it is not too late. Begin today so you can have clear directions as you build your practice.

Best wishes.
