Getting Advice from Experienced Entrepreneurs
If you want to open an orthopedic practice be sure to talk to somebody who is already in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. What's in it for them?
However, an entrepreneur who owns an orthopedic practice in a different city will be much more likely to talk with you, as long as they don't view you as a competitive threat. Many business owners are happy to give advice to new entrepreneurs In my experience, you may have to call ten business owners in order to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.

No problem! Just use the link below and try a random city/state or zipcode. Then start dialing for advice until you are successful.

More than a few experts advise prospective orthopedic practice startup entrepreneurs to pursue an acquisition strategy. Yet many new entrepreneurs find it hard to resist the allure of an orthopedic practice startup.

Consider Buying a Franchise
The chances of making a success of your new business zoom upwards if you decide to franchise and leverage their successful brand and track record.
Prior to starting an orthopedic practice, you would be wise to assess whether franchise opportunities in your space might be the right move for you.
