Ep 18: The MedSpa Partnership Playbook: Structuring Ownership Legally and Profitably

Owning a MedSpa is one of the most exciting—and complex—ventures in healthcare and aesthetics. It blends medical oversight with high-end consumer services, but navigating the legal structure, especially in CPOM-restricted states, is crucial.

Understanding how to separate and structure the clinical (PC) and business (MSO) sides of the practice isn’t just a compliance issue—it’s the foundation of ownership, control, and long-term profitability. Whether you’re a nurse practitioner, physician, or business partner, getting this right from the start determines how you grow, scale, and eventually exit.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

  • Why CPOM laws matter and how they affect who can own a MedSpa.
  • A state-by-state breakdown of CPOM restrictions.
  • How the MSO-PC model works and why it’s the go-to for non-physician owners.
  • Red flags to avoid in your MSO structure (and how to fix them).
  • Clarifying the role of nurse practitioners in MedSpas under CPOM laws.
  • How to operate a MedSpa legally under the MSO-PC model.
  • Balancing equity and control when starting a MedSpa with a physician partner.
