About this listen

When opening an optometry practice, most owners focus heavily on lease review — but overlook other legally binding contracts that can carry equal risk.

In Part 6, we break down the interconnected roles of attorneys, CPAs, contractors, and marketing teams — and how misalignment between them can impact your timeline and budget.

We discuss:

• Why construction contracts deserve the same legal scrutiny as leases
• How contractor agreements must align with your master lease
• Builder’s risk insurance and why contractor coverage isn’t enough
• The financial lens CPAs bring — and why they don’t make business decisions for you
• Startup cash flow realities and financial planning
• The importance of early branding and marketing coordination

We also explore a common frustration: bringing advisors in too late — after decisions have already been made.

If you’re planning an optometry startup, this episode reinforces one key idea:

Your professionals should be aligned early — not reacting late.
