Start an Optometry Practice with Pearle Vision
For many of our franchisees, starting a new practice is the right fit for their goals. Our team will help you start an optometry practice from the ground up, using our proven business model and helpful systems.
Why Start a New Practice?
It’s simple: starting a new optometry practice means you’re invested from day one. When you start a new practice, you have more oversight into the hiring process, meaning that you’ll feel more confident in your future working relationships with your team. You’ll also be able to develop and implement procedures within our business model that make sense to – and for – you.
As the owner of a new franchise, you’ll also have more of a role in your franchise’s site, layout, and design. Franchisees who start new practices are involved in the site selection and buildout process, making your EyeCare Center a reflection of your vision.
What should I be prepared for?
Of course, starting an optometry practice takes a fair amount of legwork. Our systems and processes simplify this process as much as possible, but you will take the lead in establishing your medical practice. This will involve insurance credentialing, setting up medical billing, and securing a doctor.
Starting a new practice also requires the biggest initial franchise investment. Let’s learn more about what that could look like for you.
