costs vary greatly. Depends on what manufacturer you go through and it depends on location. I can't give you an exact number for start up because it does vary greatly. The ideal number to have though is about 3 months worth of expenses in your account for starters. To be honest we didn't have that when we first opened and its was rough. Gotta hang in there if this is truely what you want to do.

new machines range from $3000 to $40,000

You can get some good used beds as well, don't think you have to buy new. We started with some really good used ones adn saved up until we could buy new ones.

Best to contact distributors for pricing info.

Question? If your competition had DR. Muller beds and Sportarredo beds, which ones would you have?

dr. muller beds kick butt dude. but they are pricey. so you need a large potential customer base to work with. sportarredo beds look like pantoons or something. i wonder who designs their stuff. they need to get rid of that dude. just sayin.
