Step 4: Set up the most important piece of your office - collecting payments There are two parts to accepting payment for your business. First, separate your finances. No matter your business structure, keep your business finances separate from your personal finances. This will help you avoid a major headache at tax time. Second, set up a way to take payments. Square and Stripe are the easiest to use. You can accept payments and send invoices. You don’t need an EMR to accept payments, but you may choose to set this up now because many charting systems also support you in collecting payments from clients. By being able to accept payment, you are ready to onboard a client into your private practice.

Step 3: Think about your ideal client You’ve probably heard, “you need to pick your niche!” and may not even know what a niche is or why it’s important. Start out by writing out the pain points of clients that you would like to work with, or general people who would come to see you. Think about an area of interest that inspires and excites you, while taking into consideration the demand for your services. Then, write out how your business can help these clients.

Step 2: Take 1-2 hours to understand the legal side of business Don’t let this step get you stuck. Make the best decisions you can and know you can change them later. The key is to keep the legal stuff simple for now. You can always hire a lawyer but when you're just starting out, official legal advice might be too expensive. Schedule an hour to research it and set a timer. Commit to yourself to have decisions made at the end of that hour.
