Question 1

An investor has offered to fund our next openings for a stake. Can you show what that really costs us?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Alehar models the offer against the alternatives: the stake it costs and the pace it allows, set against a bank facility secured on the group's devices and cash flow, with its repayments, and against opening from the group's own cash. It shows the cash of the group under each path, the month each new clinic covers its own costs and what the founders keep at the end. Alehar supports the raise or the facility under its Raising Equity or Debt service.

Question 2

A larger group has approached us about a merger. Can you get our numbers ready and assess theirs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Alehar prepares the profit of each clinic by treatment after the practitioners and the owners are paid, how much revenue repeats through memberships and returning patients, how much depends on a few practitioners and the age of the devices, and sets those against the other group's figures as they come in. The owners see what each side brings, and Alehar runs the process under its Selling your Company service if it goes ahead.

Question 3

Two clinics in the next city are for sale. Can you build the case for buying them against opening our own?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Alehar builds the case on what the clinics would earn inside your group: their treatment mix and margin, the practitioners and patients that would stay, the devices and leases that come with them and the refit they need, against the cost and the months to fill of opening your own. It sets a price the earnings support and shows how to fund it. The purchase can be run under Alehar's Acquiring a Company service.

Question 4

Every clinic wants the latest device. Can you show which ones would earn it back?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Alehar builds the case clinic by clinic before the deposits are paid: the cost to buy or lease each device, the product and the training, against the sessions it must sell each week at a price patients will pay, checked against how full each clinic really is and how long before the next model makes it old. Owners see which clinics get the device, the month each pays for itself and whether a group lease, a loan or cash costs the least.

Question 5

Can you show whether our marketing brings patients who come back?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Alehar works out the cost of each new patient by channel and by clinic, how many leads become paying patients and what they spend in their first year, so the channels that bring returning patients are separated from those that bring one-off discount hunters. The marketing budget is then set on the patients who come back, and the owners see which campaigns to repeat, which to stop and where leads are lost before they book.

Question 6

Can you show what each treatment and each practitioner really earns?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Alehar reports each clinic's profit every month by treatment after commission, product, rent, device loans and the cost of winning new patients, and how much of each clinic's revenue and margin sits with each practitioner and how many of their patients come back for them. Owners see which treatments to promote, which to re-price, how to set commission and which practitioners the group depends on most.

Question 7

Patients prepay for packages and memberships. Can you show how much of that cash is really ours?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Alehar separates the cash received for treatments not yet delivered from the cash the group can spend, tracks the product still to be bought against each package, and builds the forecast from the schedule, the memberships and the device and rent commitments rather than from the bank balance. Owners see how long the cash lasts and what the next opening or device can safely take.

Question 8

Can a medspa or longevity clinic group with several locations rely on an outsourced or virtual CFO?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for most owner-run aesthetic clinic groups, medspa chains, dermatology groups and longevity clinics. Alehar puts a partner on the group, backed by a team, reviews each clinic's treatment margin, marketing, prepaid cash, product and the devices with you every month, and brings extra support when you buy clinics, raise money, merge or sell. It is the support owners want from a fractional FD, an interim CFO or a virtual CFO. Bookkeeping stays with your accountant, and Alehar builds the group reporting from it.
