Starting a Laser Just Tattoo Removal (JTR) business

spillcm — Thu, 23 May 2013 16:26:09 +0000

My business partner and I would like to get some feedback from owners and employees in the laser tattoo removal industry. Specifically, what is the typical compensation given to the laser technician and the medical director overseeing the business? We are considering a flat monthly rate paid to the doctor and a sliding scale compensation proposal for the technician. Sliding scale on revenue proportions dependent on the volume of business performed over a fixed time period. In other words, one approach could be a)the more revenue brought into the business the greater the percentage of revenue sharing or a second idea could be b)the more revenue the lower the percentage. In the second approach there is incentive for the tech to bring in more business because a smaller percentage of a larger number yields larger overall paychecks for the tech. Initially we are looking at locating this business in a current doctor's office in the Mesa AZ area. This office currently has laser capabilities for cosmetic operations such as hair removal, pigment reduction, spider vein reductions, photo facials, etc. They are also beginning to provide injections such as Botox and fillers. We would like to present a business case to the residing doctor and investors that would provide a healthy return on capital. My partner and I and the potential investors would be purchasing the laser equipment for the tattoo removal capability only.

Market Research

clvandegrift@gmail.com — Sun, 19 May 2013 22:48:46 +0000

I've been in Land Surveying for nearly 20 years, and feel I know quite a bit about the Profession, but trying to get this business plan together is quite a challenge! I really do not understand how to conduct the Market Research portion of the Plan. I visited the recommended government web sites, but I honestly don't know how to use them and I'm not sure I understand the information contained within them. Does the Market Research have to do with how Land Surveying is doing business-wise in my Geographical Area? Do I need to somehow pull up statistical data for my City, then County, Region State and finally the country? I feel a bit lost.
