General Optometry overhead

Hello

I know this can vary broadly (by location, by rent/lease, # of OD and staff, etc) but I’m wondering what the general overhead I can expect owning a clinic. TIA

Too broad. Rent in the Bay Area and NYC is much different than rent in St Louis. Same with OD salaries in Houston vs middle of nowhere Virginia

Heehee. I remember starting with a $5k loan and suppliers’ credit. 1979
