Episode notes
Profit Exists But Is Uneven
- FootMedic already achieves 30% net profit in its best clinics but only in two of five locations.
- Therefore scaling smarter (franchise + property) can increase profit per site and company-wide margins.
Unmet Demand From NHS Specialisation
- NHS podiatry focuses on high-risk wound care, leaving huge unmet demand for routine foot services in private clinics.
- That creates predictable, repeatable revenue for well-run podiatry practices across towns and cities.
Own Property Before Franchising
- Buy the properties your clinics operate from and control leases to protect the brand and revenue.
- Run new sites, prove the model, then sell to motivated podiatrist franchisees with a buy-in and revenue share.
