A working IV therapy business plan answers four questions in order: how you'll satisfy the medical director and nursing requirements (IV therapy is the practice of medicine, not a retail service), what you'll spend to open (commonly $30,000–$80,000 mobile or $75,000–$200,000 for a lounge), how the per-drip margin works, and how you'll get first clients. Below is the structure plus a worked example, so you can copy the bones and swap in your own numbers. The medical structure is the part most plans underestimate.
We're a web and marketing company that builds for local businesses, and we run our own. The plan part is yours; the "get the first clients" part is where we help — and we'll be honest about when you don't need us yet.
Mobile, fixed drip lounge, or both. Your menu, who you serve (wellness, recovery, events), and why a client picks you over the spa down the road.
Medical director agreement, good-faith exams or standing orders, RN staffing, scope of practice, and the corporate structure your state requires for medical services. Confirm with your state's medical and nursing boards. This is the make-or-break section.
Medical director fee, nursing labor, supplies and a pharmacy relationship, equipment, vehicle (mobile) or build-out (lounge), insurance and malpractice, licensing, and working capital.
Per-drip pricing, boosters, and memberships against supply and nursing cost per appointment. Model utilization carefully — empty chairs and idle nurses are where margin disappears.
Business Profile, booking-first website, reviews, and partnerships with gyms, med spas, hotels, and event planners.
Numbers are illustrative — use them as a template, not a quote. A single-nurse mobile operation:
Say a drip averages $175 and supply plus nursing cost per appointment runs about $70, leaving roughly $105 contribution per drip. If fixed monthly costs (medical director retainer, insurance, marketing, vehicle) run about $6,000, break-even is around 57 drips a month — under two a day. Memberships and event group bookings are what push it from break-even to profitable.
