Estimated Initial Investment

Per Item 7 of our FDD

Our team recommends franchisees have an additional 3-4 months of operating expenses during the first few months of opening to use as working capital due to potential delays in insurance reimbursement.

The figures in this table are estimates. We do not offer direct or indirect financing to you for any items. The availability of financing through third-party lenders, if any, will depend on factors such as the lending policies of such financial institutions, the collateral you may have, your creditworthiness, and the general availability of financing.

Understanding Our Revenue Cycle

ABA Therapy franchise

It is important to understand the revenue cycle of our business versus other franchises in different industries, as working through medical insurance presents a few key differences!

​

First, it can take between 7 and 10 weeks to intake a client, including collecting information, having an assessment, and getting insurance authorization for a treatment plan.

​

Then, there is a difference between services rendered and reimbursement. It can take between 30 and 45 days to receive payment.

​

Now, the initial process of getting started also has a lead time. It can take between 120 and 180 days to become credentialed (in-network) with insurance providers, and a potential 8 to 16 weeks for your first check from insurance.

​

Knowing these things ahead of time, we structure our onboarding to limit overhead expenses until necessary, in addition to recommending between 3 and 4 months of working capital. In that way, you can feel confident moving through the initial pre-opening stages and are setup for success!
