Executive Summary

state healthcare is considered unsatisfactory by patients, medical professionals and the government as
it provides neither prevention nor satisfactory treatment of diseases, is customer-unfriendly, creates
unacceptable work environment for physicians and nurses and is a heavy financial burden for the state.
Customer satisfaction index is 1.3 fuera de 4.0 for the state healthcare system.
En 2011, solo 35% of population considered their health as good. Around 94% of the households self-reported that at least one family member needed medical help during 2011. This negative situation should drive private medical business development.
The market of private healthcare is here defined as all health-related services rendered to individual
customers by private institutions duly licensed by the respective authorities.

Universal clinics offering a wide range of medical
services (incl. inpatient); Specialized clinics offering a wide spectrum of
medical services (incl. inpatient) in certain cluster of medical specialties;
Territorial clinics offering ambulatory outpatient services in multiple medical specialties;
Specialty medical centers offering ambulatory outpatient services in certain cluster of medical
specialties (e.g., Ob&Gyn); Lab diagnostics centers (Delloite report, 2012).
As part of its ongoing efforts to improve access to health care, International Medical Center is subsidizing the start-up and first year of operations. The business will be owned and managed by Dr Andrew as a sole proprietorship.

During the first year, International Medical Center physician will work full-time at the clinic, but will be paid directly, and all of his benefits and payroll taxes will be paid by them. Starting in the second year, the physician will draw his salary directly from International Medical Center .

Financial Plan
It is estimated that start-up expenses will be $47,000. This amount of money will be used to purchase office equipment, medical supplies, furniture, stationary, and other start-up expenses. This amount, and a starting cash balance of $10,000, will be financed by Investor
The Scientific Director salary will be paid by Investor throughout the first year.
At the end of the first year, subsidies will end. Although sales are projected to increase steadily, and the physician will take reduced salary in the second through fourth years, we project a loss in the second and third years. This is due to the loss of expense subsidies, and the additional expense of the physician’s salary and related taxes. We expect to begin breaking even in the fourth year, and have budgeted a cash balance to carry us through the years of loss.
Important notation/limitations in viewing the financial plan:

Total Planned Investment $47,000

Projected Profit and Loss
The profit and loss statement shows our increasing ability to cover the expenses of the business over the first year. Although we will operate at a loss for much of this year, our cash balance will be maintained by subsidies
In the second year, International Medical will assume the full expense of the physician salary, as well as related payroll taxes. This increase, combined with small increases in operating expenses due to increased patient load, will keep us operating at a loss in the second and third year, but we expect to begin turning a small profit in the middle of the fourth year. De nuevo, these losses will not cause us to go into a negative cash position at any point.
We would show a profit of $49,000 in the second year, y $70,000 in the third year.
