What this calculator measures
Build a launch budget that includes both setup fees and months of runway before collections stabilize.
Who it is for
First-time practice owners, mobile clinicians, and nurse-led startups.
Primary audience: Founders opening a first location or mobile practice
Methodology
Total = licensing + technology + marketing + deposits + (months × monthly burn).
- Monthly burn is pre-revenue operating spend.
- One-time costs exclude real estate purchase.
Worked example
$10,000 one-time + 6 months × $10,000 burn = $70,000 launch capital.
How to interpret results
If total exceeds available capital, phase hiring or delay leased space until panel targets are modeled.
Limitations
- Does not model SBA loans or equity raises.
- State licensing fees vary widely.
FAQ
- How many months of runway should I plan?
- Many founders use 3–6 months minimum; insurance-heavy practices often need more.
