5 things I learned buying a Med Spa:
1) Pay more attention to the equipment
2) Thoroughly asses outstanding gift card sales
3) Recurring memberships are everything
4) Not announcing ownership change was a great move
5) Seller financing is worth more than just the loan

@jamesbohanpitt@Codie_Sanchez Half our revenue comes from skincare, which is an excellent funnel into injectables but we're not dependent on just botox. Our best treatments are actually natural
There's so much more to buying a business than these 5 but I went in prepared with an amazing CPA, lawyer and lots of help from the super knowledgeable @Codie_Sanchez who actually told me the equipment due dilly item I didn't listen to.
Always happy to share any insights :)

5) As much as the owner tells you they'll be there to help during the transition, they won't. It's a nagging process. But having seller financing has helped keep the seller in line on the bigger things and easier to collect claw backs.
Expanding on each:
1) Equipment out of warranty or not bought directly from the manufacturer can cost you more when it breaks. Outdated equipment that made money last year may not be popular today. Lesser known brands require more marketing from your end to educate patients.
