Start a medical transport business without paying a consultant $8,000.

The vans and cars that take people to dialysis, doctor visits and therapy. It's a real business, and the steps are knowable — they're just scattered across a dozen state websites. We'll walk you through yours, one conversation at a time.

Five stages, in whatever order suits you.

Each one starts as a conversation about your situation. When it's done, you get a to-do list with real numbers, real agencies and real next steps — not "get insurance."

  1. Stage 1

    Getting the business set up

    Your business name, the legal side of things, a tax ID, and a bank account that keeps your money separate from your own.

  2. Stage 2

    Getting licensed and compliant

    The permits your state actually requires, the driver credentials, background checks, and the inspections you'll need to pass.

  3. Stage 3

    Getting the vehicle and insurance sorted

    Choosing the right vehicle, wheelchair accessibility, and the commercial insurance coverage amounts your state requires.

  4. Stage 4

    Hiring and daily operations

    Whether to drive yourself or hire, how to pay people, scheduling and dispatch, and what a normal day looks like.

  5. Stage 5

    Landing the first paying rides

    Getting credentialed with the brokers and Medicaid, plus the private-pay and facility relationships that fill your calendar.

What it costs you: nothing.

  • The full five-stage plan, personal to your state and budget
  • Your progress saved, so you can pick it back up anytime
  • Someone to ask when a form or a rule doesn't make sense

Later on, if you want to go deeper, there are a few optional paid reports — a local market study, help finding grants and loans, and a buy-versus-build analysis. You never need them to finish your plan, and we won't pester you about them.
