Podiatry Clinic can achieve rapid profitability, but sustainable growth requires maximizing utilization and optimizing the high-margin service mix Your initial projections show an impressive breakeven in just 2 months and a capital payback period of 16 months Starting EBITDA margin is strong at approximately 258% in 2026, driven by high-value procedures The goal is to scale this to a target of 646% EBITDA margin by 2030 by focusing on capacity utilization, especially for specialized services like Podiatric Surgery and Orthotics This guide outlines seven strategies to manage variable costs (currently 185% of revenue) and aggressively fill specialist schedules to drive revenue per square foot We focus on converting low-utilization capacity (35%-50% in Year 1) into pure
