Financial Considerations: COMPANY NAME envisions for the business is to not only to offer a
fitness and gymnastics center, but to incorporate other realms of wellness in to the business
model. The Company will purchase a building to have room to offer a complete medically
integrated facility that offers a physical therapy and a massage therapy center, a structured
obesity program, and much more. A complete wellness group with medically integrated programs
would be completely overseen by doctors. The grant of $350,000 would help purchase a building
and allow the capability to set this plan in motion.
