Market and feasibility study
Demand, competition, catchment population, service mix and a five-year financial model.
Capabilities · Start-ups
Open with the systems a mature organization runs on.
Most new health facilities struggle for reasons decided before the doors open: the wrong services for the market, a staffing plan that cannot be filled, or a revenue model that never covered the costs.
Healthcare start-ups and new facilities
Healthcare start-ups and new facilities
We take a new facility or health venture from idea to opening day, and through its first year of operations. Market and feasibility work tells you what to build and whether it will pay. The operating model tells you how it will run. The launch plan makes sure it does.
We work with physician founders, investors, faith-based and non-governmental networks, and public authorities planning new capacity.

Licensing and accreditation

Frequently asked questions
Can you work on a facility outside the United States?
Yes. Our international practice focuses on sub-Saharan Africa, and we adapt the feasibility, licensing and staffing work to each country’s regulations, in English or in French.
Do you help raise the capital?
We prepare the feasibility study, financial model and business plan that lenders, investors and development partners expect, and we can present them alongside you. We do not sell securities or act as a broker.
How long does a new facility take?
It depends on scale and on the licensing path. A clinic can open within months; a hospital takes considerably longer. The feasibility study sets a realistic timeline before you commit.
Not sure where to start?
Most clients begin with a short conversation and a focused assessment. Tell us about your organization and we will suggest the right first step.
