Startup cost: $200 - $2k

Low-end costs include basic essentials like a reliable computer ($100 for a used one), internet connection ($50), and basic office supplies ($50). This setup allows for minimal functionality to start retrieving medical records. High-end costs cover a new computer ($1,000), high-speed internet ($100), professional software for managing records ($300), marketing and ads ($300), and a professional website ($300). This setup ensures efficiency and professionalism. Hidden costs might include ongoing software subscriptions, unexpected equipment repairs, or additional marketing expenses. While some claim it's low-cost, expenses can increase as the business grows. Budgeting for both essential and optional tools is crucial for serious commitment.
