Chiropractor issue

[Guest guest]

One thing I can tell you is that most chiropractors that are in business for themselves (at least in Chicagoland area) have a history of being very shrewd business individuals. Just be careful and have a healthcare attorney look at any agreements. I am looking for opinions from the group on my office

selection.In my area, I have 2 office choices. One office is an old psychiatrist office( 1700 sq ft) and the rent includes all utilities except internet, cable and phone. The base rent is cheap the first year and increases the next 2 years to market level in my area. The lease is 3 years.The second are is about 100 sq ft smaller ( 1600sq ft) then office number one. The base rent price is the same as office number one's first year, but stays level. The rent does not include utilities. However, I counteroffered with a lower base price and I am awaiting the response. This office already has a chiropractor in the office subleasing about half the office and a marketing person renting one room. The chiropractor is willing to continue subleasing. Both offices are bigger than I need to start with but this is what is in my area. Both offices are ready to go now. Should I go with office number 2 as I can sublease to chiropractor and cut my cost or office number one with utilities included? Has anyone ever worked with a chiropractor and do you think this arrangement would work? I am thinking we could even split cost of receptionist when both practices pick up. I am trying to make the decision soon and I really need input. Thanks for the help.Wellington
