Does anyone know how you can get grant money or a lon to keep a new practice afloat for the first 6-12 months? Locals just don’t want to help.

I am happy to report that my landlord has committed to helping me with some of the cost of the build-out. “Onehealthpro” you were right…” It never hurts to ask”. Thanks to everyone for their input.

I haven’t had experience with this, but I would think in these economic times, one should dream the dream and ask for the moon…within reason. The construction and rental industry needs the dollars so they may be willing to negotiate. It never hurts to ask.

I am in NC and am paying to upfit the interior of a newly constructed shopping center space. My square footage is about 1500. A lot of times, the tenant will be able to negotiate “tenant improvement” dollars, and get some of the money you spend on improving their property back from who you are renting from. Because, really, you are doing the owners a huge favor by improving their property! I say all that, and then have to tell you that my landlord will not give me any money back for improvements.
But..he is working with me in that I won’t have to pay any rent until I am finished with all the construction and have opened the doors for business, which is good.
While 34K is a heck of a lot of money, it sounds reasonable. How big is the space you are going to use?
