- Fyzical is not aware of any established longer “reasonable period” for its industry, so its disclosures cover a 5-month period, except in the case for Centers open with a Clinical Director (for which Fyzical’s disclosures cover a 9-month period). Fyzical relied on its affiliate’s experience operating Fyzical Centers to compile these estimates.
- These amounts are minimum recommended levels to cover operating expenses, including employee salaries, for 9 months (in the case of Centers open with a Clinical Director) and 5 months (for all other Centers). You may require additional working capital if your sales are low or if your fixed costs are high.
- The estimate for Additional Funds assumes that either your Operating Principal is a Licensed Professional or you or at least one of your owners who is a Licensed Professional will be involved in the day-to-day operation of your Center.
14. Total Estimated Initial Investment: $125,392 to $481,536
New Center with a Clinical Director
- The estimate for Additional Funds assumes that neither your Operating Principal nor you or any of your owners are Licensed Professionals. Therefore, you will need additional funds to hire a Clinical Director to perform services at your Center.
