1.0 Executive Summary

The purpose of this business plan is to raise $1,500,000 for the development of an inpatient drug rehabilitation center that will concurrently render outpatient services. Drug Rehab Center, LLC (“the Company”) was founded by Max Stevens. The facilities will feature eight suites that can accommodate up to 12 people at any given time.

1.1 The Services

As stated above, Drug Rehab Center, LLC will provide comprehensive treatment programs among people that are struggling with sobriety. The inpatient programs will be designed to help an individual detoxify from substances while providing them with the coping tools that they need in order to resume a healthy lifestyle. Individual and group therapy sessions will be held on a daily basis at the facilities.

In regards to payment, Management anticipates that each person that is enrolled in the 90 day program will incur a cost of $30,000. The business will coordinate billing with the client’s health insurance provider. In regards to outpatient treatment, these fees will be billed on a per hour basis. These costs will vary from $150 to $300 depending on whether the client is under the care of a psychologist or psychiatrist.

The third section of the business plan will further describe the services offered by the Drug Rehab Center.

1.2 Financing

At this time, Max Stevens is seeking $1.5 million in order to develop the operations showcased in this document. Of this capital, $250,000 is sought via a private investment. The $1,000,000 of debt financing will be used to acquire and renovate the Company’s facilities. The term of this loan is expected to be 30 years with an interest rate of 7%.

Additional uses of funds will include:

• Furniture, fixtures, and equipment for the Drug Rehab Center
• Professional fees and licensure via state governing agencies
• Working capital for the first twelve months of operation

If needed, Drug Rehab Center, LLC could easily acquire additional debt or equity capital as needed to further expand the number of rehabilitative facilities operated by the business. The Company could also receive specialized receivables financing based on the time delay between rendering care to a client and receipt of payment. This document assumes that no further capital injections will be needed during the course of this first three years of operation.

1.3 Mission Statement

Drug Rehab Center’s mission is to provide comprehensive rehabilitative services that are cost effectively rendered to people that struggle with substance abuse disorders.

2.3 Investor Equity

Mr. Stevens and an equity investor will determine this during their negotiations. It should be noted that Management does not expect that staff will receive any equity participations during the first three years of operation.

2.4 Management Equity

This is to be determined at a late date and time.

2.5 Exit Strategy

Drug rehabilitation centers are highly stable businesses. In any economic climate, people are going to continue to struggle with drug and alcohol abuse. As such, these businesses carry a significant price to earnings multiple. By the third year of operation, this business could have a valuation in excess of $2,000,000 which will include any real estate owned by Drug Rehab Center, LLC.

3.0 Operations

As discussed in the executive summary, Drug Rehab Center will be able to provide inpatient detoxification and rehabilitation services for up to 12 people at a time. The business will offer both single and double occupancy rooms. The grounds of the facilities will be immaculate and tranquil. There will be several gardens and fountains that will promote peace and reflection among clients. The business will charge $10,000 per month for its inpatient services. These fees may be higher depending on the detoxification needs of the client.

In regards to outpatient care, the business will have its staff psychologists and psychiatrists render treatment on a per-hour basis. These individuals will typically not have the same level of drug/alcohol dependency issues as someone needing inpatient treatment.

Management expects that the vast majority of the Company’s revenues will come from private insurance reimbursement as well as from publicly funded healthcare systems (primarily among older people that are experiencing drug dependency issues). Mr. Stevens understands that the cost of rehabilitation can be prohibitively expensive among people that do not have health insurance. In these events, the Company will provide both its inpatient and outpatient services on a sliding sale in order to ensure that those that are in need can get the proper treatment.
