How to Start a Health Business

The rise in both obesity and health consciousness makes opening a health business a lucrative opportunity. Nonetheless, competition in the health industry is stiff. The market is saturated with competitors claiming their diet pill is superior to others. Opening a health business is not without liability, either: extensive legal research and smart staffing are imperative.

Select the appropriate demographic for your business. Health companies frequently target specific groups for their products. Curves, for example, is a gym that caters specifically to older women. Gatorade is a sports drink that primarily targets male athletes. Select the best audience for your product.

If your bricks-and-mortar business will be near a college campus, then college students are a natural choice. If your product will be sold online, you can design your website using graphics, colors, and fonts to pitch to your demographic.

Assess start-up costs and financing. Each good or service comes with particular costs. Creating vitamins and supplements, for example, is relatively cheap. Opening a 2-story gym with many different pieces of equipment, on the other hand, escalates start-up costs quickly. The book "101 Best Businesses To Start" by Russell Roberts and Sharon Kahn estimates that gym equipment back in 2000 cost $75,000 to $100,000.

Consider the size of your space when deciding what to buy. A juice bar and gym may not be feasible, but a weight-lifting station and a small café could be installed easily with less cost.

Assess the amount of capital you expect to receive and the amount of your own money you can put into the business. Your ability to get cash, as explained in "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Starting Your Own Business" by Ed Paulson, can make or break your business. Get your credit score checked and work on a business proposal before approaching lending institutions.

Market any health products carefully. Vitamins and supplements are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, which means you cannot make certain claims. You cannot claim to cure any disease or illness, as that will likely cause the FDA to ban your product and mark it illegal. Ideally, you have repeatedly tested your product to bolster even small claims like "boosts immunity." You are responsible for all health effects deriving from your health products.

You can legally tout the nutrients in your health products. So if you decide to start a health business offering kombucha tea, you can market your product by stating the health benefits of probiotics.

Choose the services your business will offer. The term "health" is broad: will you sell supplements, open a gym or an oxygen bar or juice bar, or all of the above? Center your health business on principles of diet and exercise. Do not offer a "lose weight quick" agenda, as the customer will likely be disappointed when the claims do not come to fruition. Be honest with clients about the results they should expect by using your product or service.

Make smart staffing choices. If your health business is in acupuncture, ensure that your staff is fully certified in this field to avoid any legal troubles. Even if you choose to open a small supplement store, hire sales reps that are fully knowledgeable in nutrition or be willing to spend extensive amounts of time training them.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
