1. Executive Summary
DoctoriumGP owns a portfolio of premium BTL aesthetic devices worth an estimated Β£300,000β500,000+ at purchase price. Dr Gemma Lewis (Clinical Director) works at DoctoriumGP Monday, Tuesday, Saturday, and Sunday only. She is a GP partner Wednesday through Friday. This means devices sit idle for 3 full working days per week β representing a significant unrealised revenue opportunity.
The proposition: Hire out idle devices to other clinics on a daily, block, or retainer basis. Ade delivers and collects using a dedicated vehicle already being purchased for the business.
Revenue potential: Β£78,000 β Β£234,000+ per year from device hire alone, with zero additional capital expenditure required.
Market gap: No UK company currently operates a doctor-led, multi-device aesthetic equipment hire service at this scale. The existing market consists of leasing companies (long-term finance), rental companies (month-to-month subscriptions), and ad hoc room/equipment sharing in London. Nobody is offering short-term premium device hire with clinical training and support from a CQC-registered, doctor-led clinic.
2. Market Landscape
2.1 Existing Models
| Model | Examples | How It Works | Limitations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Long-term lease/finance | BTL direct, Chrysalis Finance, Medifinance | 3-5 year finance agreements, Β£1,000β3,000/month | Requires capital commitment; devices can become obsolete |
| Monthly rental subscription | Laseraid, Laser and Aesthetics, Aesthetica Professional | Month-to-month rental with maintenance included | Still Β£1,500β4,000/month minimum; limited device choice |
| Room + device rental | Ai Beauty Clinic (London), London Beauty Clinic | Rent a treatment room that comes with devices | London-only; limited to in-house devices; no portability |
| Equipment marketplace | KWIPPED, Cosmetic Classifieds, Bimedis | Buy/sell/lease used devices online | No short-term hire option; purely transactional |
| Mobile practitioner | Mobile Aesthetics Clinic, various independents | Practitioner brings device to client/clinic | Limited to injectables and small devices; not BTL-class equipment |
| Pay-per-treatment | 3D Aesthetics "Smart Buy" scheme | Device placed in clinic, revenue share per treatment | Manufacturer-controlled; limited device range |
| Hospital equipment sharing | Cohealo (US model) | Software platform manages sharing between hospital sites | Not available in UK aesthetic market; NHS/hospital focused |
2.2 Key Market Observations
- No short-term hire market exists for premium aesthetic devices in the UK. Every existing model requires minimum monthly commitments.
- Laseraid (Australia-founded, now UK) is the closest model β monthly subscription rental for hair removal lasers. However, they only offer laser hair removal devices, not BTL body contouring or RF microneedling.
- Cohealo (US) operates the hospital equipment sharing model with logistics, insurance, and chain-of-custody tracking. This is the blueprint for how DoctoriumGP should structure its operations.
- The "Smart Buy" model from 3D Aesthetics validates that clinics want access to premium devices without capital outlay.
- Treatment pricing in the UK for the devices DoctoriumGP owns is strong (Β£150β500/session for Emsculpt Neo, Β£100β250/session for EMSella, Β£100β600/session for Exion RF, Β£37β400/session for picosecond laser).
2.3 UK Device Rental Pricing Benchmarks
| Provider | Model | Approx. Monthly Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Laseraid | Cynosure Elite+ | Enquiry-based | Month-to-month, includes maintenance |
| Laseraid | Alma Soprano ICE | Enquiry-based | Month-to-month, includes maintenance |
| KWIPPED | BTL Emsculpt Neo (lease) | From ~Β£760/month | Long-term lease, US marketplace |
| Laser and Aesthetics | Various | Β£1,500β4,000/month | Monthly without long-term tie-in |
| 3D Aesthetics | Smart Buy scheme | From Β£50/month | Revenue-share model, limited devices |
Key insight: Monthly rental for premium devices ranges Β£1,500β4,000/month. DoctoriumGP hiring out at Β£500β800/day for 3 days/week (Β£6,000β9,600/month equivalent) is significantly more expensive β but the hiring clinic has zero commitment, zero maintenance cost, and gets a premium device with clinical support. The value proposition is flexibility and access, not cost efficiency.
3. Device Portfolio & Suitability Ranking
3.1 Current Devices (What We Own NOW)
Important: These are the only devices DoctoriumGP currently owns. The hire model and pop-ups operate with this equipment TODAY. Future devices (Section 3.2) are being pursued via supplier outreach β demo units, loaners, and partnerships.
| Rank | Device | Est. Price | Consumables | Training | Daily Revenue | Hire Suitability |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | BTL EMSella | Β£50K (paid). Used: ~Β£35K | None | Low (15-30 min) | Β£600β1,500 | EXCELLENT |
| 2 | BTL Exion (RF Micro) | Β£50β80K | Single-use tips | Medium-High | Β£600β1,800 | GOOD |
| 3 | BTL Exion (Face RF) | Included | None | Low-Medium | Β£400β1,200 | GOOD |
| 4 | SkinScope AI Skin Scanner | Owned | None | Low (10 min) | Lead gen tool | EXCELLENT |
| 5 | Tanita BC-580 Body Comp Scales | Owned | None | Low (5 min) | Lead gen tool | EXCELLENT |
3.2 Target Devices (Pursuing via Supplier Outreach)
Strategy: We are actively approaching suppliers for demo units, loaner programmes, and partnership deals. The goal is to get these devices into DoctoriumGP with minimal or zero upfront capex. If the hire model generates enough demand, that becomes the business case to purchase outright.
| Priority | Device | Est. Price | Consumables | Training | Daily Revenue | Hire Suitability |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | BTL Emsculpt Neo | ~Β£30K (used) | Applicator pads | Medium (30-60 min) | Β£900β2,500 | VERY GOOD |
| 2 | Asclepion PicoStar / PicoSure | Β£80β120K | None (solid-state) | High (full day) | Β£800β2,400 | MODERATE |
| 3 | Asclepion BodyLab | Β£40β60K | None | Low (30 min) | Β£600β1,500 | VERY GOOD |
| 4 | InMode EvolveX | Β£60β90K | Disposable pads | Medium | Β£600β1,500 | GOOD |
| 5 | InMode OptimasMax | Β£100β180K | Morpheus8 tips | High | Β£800β2,500 | MODERATE |
3.3 Hire Suitability Summary
Current fleet (ready to hire NOW):
- BTL EMSella β Zero consumables, minimal training, impossible to damage. The perfect hire device.
- BTL Exion (Face RF) β No consumables for non-needling mode. Easy to operate.
- BTL Exion (RF Microneedling) β Good but requires consumable tracking and higher clinical competence.
Once acquired (target devices, ranked by hire potential):
- BTL Emsculpt Neo β Premium device, enormous demand. If we get a demo/loaner unit, this becomes a hire goldmine.
- Asclepion BodyLab β Similar advantages to EMSella. Low consumable cost, easy training.
- InMode EvolveX β Decent candidate, moderate complexity.
- InMode OptimasMax β Complex multi-platform, high consumable cost, high training barrier.
- Asclepion PicoStar β Powerful laser but high training requirement and laser safety regulations.
4. Pricing Structures
4.1 Pricing Philosophy
Note: Pricing below covers ALL devices β both current (EMSella, Exion) and target devices we're pursuing (Emsculpt Neo, PicoStar, BodyLab). Target device pricing is ready for when we secure demo/loaner units or purchase.
Pricing must: (1) cover device depreciation over 3-5 years, (2) cover operational costs, and (3) generate profit.
Benchmark: A Β£100,000 device depreciated over 5 years = Β£20,000/year = Β£1,667/month. If hired 3 days/week (12 days/month), minimum daily rate to cover depreciation = Β£139/day. Adding transport, insurance, maintenance = ~Β£200β250/day floor. But pricing is based on value to the hiring clinic, not just cost recovery.
4.2 Tier 1: Ad Hoc Day Hire
| Device | Daily Rate | Includes | Min. Booking |

| BodyLab | Β£1,800/week | 36% |
4.4 Tier 4: Monthly Retainer (3 Days/Week, 3-Month Minimum)
| Device | Monthly Rate | Saving vs Ad Hoc |

| PicoStar | Β£5,000/month | 31% |
| BodyLab | Β£3,200/month | 33% |
Per-treatment pricing removed. No reliable treatment counter on EMSella, impossible to police usage. Stick to day rates, block rates, and retainer pricing only.
4.6 Multi-Device Bundle Discounts
| Bundle | Ad Hoc Day | 3-Day Block | Monthly Retainer |
|---|---|---|---|
| EMSella + Emsculpt Neo | Β£950/day (14%) | Β£2,375/block | Β£7,500/month |

11. Risk Analysis & Mitigation
β BTL Warranty: Not a barrier. No warranty or service agreement currently in place with BTL. Devices rarely go wrong. Not a concern for launch.
| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Device damage during transport | Medium | High | Goods in transit insurance; flight cases; Ade handles all transport |
| Damage by untrained operators | Medium | High | Mandatory training; signed acknowledgement; phone support |
| BTL warranty | N/A | N/A | No warranty in place. Devices rarely go wrong. Not a barrier |
| CQC non-compliance by hiring clinic | Medium | High | Verify registrations before first hire; annual re-check |
| Cannibalising own revenue | Low | Medium | Only hire on idle days. Clinic always has priority |
| Device theft | Very Low | Very High | Serial numbers, signed receipt, insurance. Apple AirTags on all devices. Ade personally vets every site β if it doesn't feel right, it doesn't happen |
| Late/no payment | Medium | Medium | Payment in advance for ad hoc. Direct debit for retainers. Deposit held |
| Regulatory change | High | Medium | Monitor DHSC consultations. Already compliant with doctor-led model |
12. Competitive Advantage
| Advantage | Detail |
|---|---|
| Doctor-led credibility | CQC-registered clinic with GP surgeon as Clinical Director |
| Training included | Hands-on training as part of hire. Rental companies just ship a box |
| Real-time support | Phone/video support during hire. Clinics never left alone |
| Dedicated transport | Personal delivery by MD. No courier risk |
| Zero capex to start | Devices already owned. Revenue is almost entirely incremental profit |
| Multi-device range | EMSella + Emsculpt Neo + Exion + PicoStar + BodyLab. No other single provider matches this |
| Referral ecosystem | Hiring clinics refer patients they can't treat back to DoctoriumGP |
| Try before buy | Clinics test devices, then purchase from BTL. Potential referral commission |
"DoctoriumGP Device Access: Premium BTL aesthetic devices available for short-term hire, delivered and supported by a CQC-registered, doctor-led clinic. No capital outlay. No long-term commitment. Full training and clinical support included."
Revenue Beyond Hire Fees
- Consumable sales β Exion tips, Emsculpt pads at markup
- Training fees β Advanced packages Β£250β500 per person
- Referral income β Patients referred from hiring clinics
- BTL referral commission β Finder's fee for clinics who purchase
- Marketing support β Co-branded materials for a fee
- Clinical governance retainer β Named medical director package Β£250β500/month
13. Launch Roadmap
Approach: Hit it hard from day one. Contact HUNDREDS, not dozens. Throw enough darts and some will stick. Both streams β pop-up clinics AND device hire β run simultaneously from week one. First-come-first-served: if a solid hire booking comes in, push a pop-up date back. If demand exceeds supply from either stream, that's the business case to buy more machines.
13.1 The Witeruum Insight β Why This Market Exists
There's a business called Witeruum operating across Derby, Leicester, and Nottingham. They lease a building, furnish treatment rooms, and sublet them at Β£100/day to independent aesthetics practitioners, hairdressers, beauty therapists, and even doctors. These people rent a room daily because they can't (or won't) commit to a 3-year lease. The model works because people want to try before they buy with minimal commitment.
This is exactly the same psychology that makes device hire work. If someone will pay Β£100/day to rent a ROOM to test their business, they'll absolutely pay Β£400/day to rent a PREMIUM DEVICE that generates Β£600-2,000 in treatment revenue. Same try-before-you-buy logic, but for equipment instead of premises. Zero capex, zero commitment, test the demand, and if it works β hire regularly or eventually buy.
13.2 Total Addressable Market
| Segment | East Midlands Estimate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Hair & beauty businesses | 3,435 | ONS data |
| Self-employed practitioners | 4,100β4,400 | 60.5% self-employment rate in sector |
| Of those renting rooms/chairs | 2,000β2,600 | ~50-60% rent rather than work from home |
| Aesthetics-specific practitioners | ~500 | Licensed aesthetics practitioners |
| Derby/South Derbyshire catchment | 400β600 | Within 30 min drive |
| Shared room rental venues (Witeruum model) | 20+ venues | Derby, Nottingham, Leicester, Burton, Belper |
13.3 Dual-Stream Prioritisation
Both streams run simultaneously. First-come-first-served.
| Factor | Pop-Up Clinics (Ade) | Device Hire (to clinics/practitioners) |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue per day | Β£1,200β1,700 net | Β£400β700 hire fee |
| Risk of device damage | LOW β Ade controls the equipment | MEDIUM β third party operating |
| Patient capture | YES β all patients become DoctoriumGP's | NO β patients belong to hiring clinic |
| Product revenue | YES β SkinCeuticals, Ultrahuman, etc. | NO β hire fee only |
| Brand building | YES β DoctoriumGP visible at venues | Minimal |
| Cash certainty | Variable (depends on conversions) | FIXED β guaranteed hire fee |
| Effort required | Full day commitment from Ade | Deliver and collect only |
| Scalability | Limited to Ade's availability | Multiple devices out simultaneously |
Default priority: Pop-ups are the higher-margin, lower-risk play and capture patients for long-term value. But hire bookings are guaranteed cash. If a hire booking comes in for a day when a pop-up was planned, evaluate: is the hire fee (Β£400-700) close enough to the pop-up net (Β£1,200-1,700) to justify the time saving? If Ade can do a pop-up at venue A with Exion/SkinScope while EMSella is hired out at clinic B β run both simultaneously.
Phase 1: Mass Outreach Blitz (Weeks 1β4)
| Week | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Build database of 300-500 targets using Outscraper (Google Maps scrape β free first 500), Treatwell, Fresha, professional association directories (BABTAC, ABT, FHT), and Instagram hashtag mining |
| 1 | Send first batch of 100+ outreach emails to clinics, salons, independent practitioners, and shared room venues like Witeruum. Both pop-up venue enquiries AND device hire offers |
| 1 | Offer first venue a FREE trial pop-up day (Denstone, Your Padel, or whoever bites first) |
| 1 | Get insurance quotes. Fit AirTags. Contact BTL UK re multi-site warranty |
| 2 | Send second batch of 100+ emails. First pop-up day. Document everything β photos, numbers, conversions |
| 2 | Build device hire landing page + enquiry form. Purchase flight cases if needed |
| 3 | Send third batch of 100+ emails. Second and third pop-ups at different venue types. First hire enquiry β offer free trial day |
| 4 | By now: 300-500 businesses contacted. Collect testimonials from first pop-ups. First paid hire day. Identify best-performing venue types and practitioner segments |
Phase 2: Convert & Build Recurring Revenue (Months 2β3)
| Month | Action |
|---|---|
| 2 | Follow up on all outreach. First regular hire client signed. Pop-ups running 1-2 days/week. Launch LinkedIn content |
| 2 | Approach device suppliers for demo/loaner units β use pop-up + hire revenue as proof of concept |
| 2 | Target Witeruum directly β offer to be their "device partner." One relationship = access to dozens of practitioners across 3 cities |
| 3 | Multiple hire clients on ad hoc or block booking. Pop-ups becoming a regular circuit |
| 3 | Target: Β£5,000-8,000/month combined revenue from both streams |
Phase 3: Scale (Months 4β6)
| Month | Action |
|---|---|
| 4 | Pop-ups running 2-3 days/week. Multiple devices out on hire simultaneously. Hire demand building |
| 5 | If demand exceeds capacity β purchase additional device. Business case is simple: "We're turning away Β£X/week in hire revenue because we don't have enough machines" |
| 6 | Target: Β£10,000-15,000/month combined revenue. Hire waiting list. Pop-up circuit of 6-8 regular venues |
Phase 4: Optimise & Expand (Months 7β12)
| Month | Action |
|---|---|
| 7β9 | Review pricing β increase if oversubscribed. Consider part-time driver for hire deliveries so Ade can focus on pop-ups |
| 10β12 | Target: Β£15,000+/month hire + pop-up revenue. Multiple devices on hire. Regular pop-up circuit established |
| 12 | Annual review: fleet expansion based on demand data. By now, demand should justify additional purchases |

Why Clinics Pay Β£1,500+ For This
- They can't do this themselves. No doctor, no CQC, no devices, no AI skin analysis, no body comp scanners.
- Zero risk. Fixed fee, charge patients Β£250β350, pocket the difference.
- Premium positioning. A salon in Northampton advertising "doctor-led Health MOTs with AI skin scanning" competes with Harley Street, not the salon next door.
- No commitment. Book one day. See how it goes. No lease, no contract, no equipment.
19. Pop-Up Venue Strategy
Beyond salons and clinics. The clinic-in-clinic model works anywhere with affluent footfall and a spare room. These non-traditional venues have zero competition from other aesthetic providers β DoctoriumGP would be the first and only.
Tier 1 β High-Footfall Premium Venues
| Venue Type | Why It Works | Hook Services | Target Demographic | Est. Scans/Day |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Farm shops & lifestyle centres | Affluent rural clientele, 40β65 age group, artisan/premium mindset. These people already spend Β£80+ on a weekend shop β they'll spend Β£149 on C E Ferulic without blinking | Tanita body comp, SkinScope | Women 40β65, high disposable income, health-conscious | 15β25 |
| Garden centres with cafΓ©s | Surprisingly the highest footfall of any retail format for the 45β70 demographic. Customers dwell for 1β2 hours (cafΓ©, browse). Captive audience with nothing to do while their partner looks at plants | Tanita body comp, SkinScope | Women 45β70, retired/semi-retired, high spend potential | 20β30 |
| Premium department stores | SkinCeuticals already has counters in Harvey Nichols / SpaceNK. A DoctoriumGP skin analysis station next to the beauty hall is a natural fit. High foot traffic, high brand trust | SkinScope AI scan β SkinCeuticals upsell | Women 30β60, brand-aware, beauty spend Β£200+/month | 20β30 |
| Country clubs & golf clubs | Wealthy members, health-conscious, captive audience (bar after golf). Function rooms available midweek. "Members' Health MOT Day" sells itself | Tanita body comp, EMSella | Men & women 40β70, high net worth, competitive about health metrics | 10β15 |
Tier 2 β Health & Fitness Venues
| Venue Type | Why It Works | Hook Services | Target Demographic | Est. Scans/Day |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private members' gyms | David Lloyd, Virgin Active, Nuffield Health β members pay Β£80β150/month and want body comp data. "Metabolic age" and visceral fat metrics speak their language | Tanita body comp | Men & women 30β55, performance-focused | 15β25 |
| CrossFit boxes | Community-driven, competitive, obsessed with metrics. "Body Comp Day" would sell out. Coaches would promote for free because it adds value | Tanita body comp | Men & women 25β45, data-obsessed, high spend on supplements | 20β30 |
| Yoga / Pilates studios | Wellness-minded, pelvic floor aware (EMSella resonates), interested in skin health and ageing. Instructors often have menopause/perimenopause conversations with clients | SkinScope, EMSella | Women 30β55, wellness lifestyle, holistic health | 10β15 |
| Running / cycling clubs | Performance-focused, interested in body comp, recovery. Saturday morning run β body comp scan β coffee. Event partnership | Tanita body comp | Men & women 30β55, competitive, health data | 10β20 (event days) |
Tier 3 β Lifestyle & Luxury Venues
| Venue Type | Why It Works | Hook Services | Target Demographic | Est. Scans/Day |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Boutique hotels & spas | Wellness tourism, spa guests actively seeking health experiences. A "Health MOT" at a spa break is premium positioning. Hotel takes a cut or charges guests directly | Full MOT: Tanita + SkinScope + consultation | Guests 35β65, high spend, wellness tourism | 6β10 |
| Wedding venues / bridal shops | "Bridal Body Prep" packages β SkinScope for skin preparation, Tanita for body comp goals, EMSella for pelvic floor (pre/post-wedding). 6-month lead time = treatment course upsell | SkinScope, EMSella | Brides 25β40 + mothers of bride 50β65 | 8β12 |
| Corporate offices | HR-driven wellbeing days. "Employee Health MOT" β body comp scans as team activity. Companies pay for it as a perk. Mass data capture opportunity | Tanita body comp (mass scan) | Employees 25β55, employer-funded | 30β50 |
| Women's networking events | WI meetings, business networking, charity lunches. Speaker slot + free scans after. 50β200 attendees, all in target demographic | SkinScope quick scan | Women 35β65, influential, word-of-mouth amplifiers | 15β30 (event) |
Tier 4 β Creative / Untapped
| Venue Type | Why It Works | Feasibility |
|---|---|---|
| Private school parents' evenings | Captive audience of affluent parents, 1β2 hours of waiting. "While you're here, fancy a free health scan?" | MEDIUM β needs school buy-in |
| Farmers' markets / artisan fairs | Premium outdoor events, health-conscious demographic, aligns with natural/wellness positioning | HIGH β easy to book a stall |
| Race days / equestrian events | Affluent crowd, corporate hospitality, long dwell time, dressed up and receptive | MEDIUM β need event sponsorship or VIP area |
| Charity ball / gala dinners | High-net-worth individuals, health/wellness theme tables, auction prize (free Health MOT package) | HIGH β donate a package, get exposure |
| Cruise ships (UK-based) | Captive audience for 7+ days, wellness packages sell well at sea, zero competition | LOW (logistics) β but enormous if cracked |
Farm Shop Playbook (Example)
Why farm shops are gold: Chatsworth Farm Shop, Denstone Hall, Brockleby's β these venues pull in exactly your demographic. Affluent 40β65 year olds who drive 30 minutes to buy organic sourdough and artisan cheese. They're spending Β£80β150 per visit already. They've got 1β2 hours to kill. They care about health, quality, and premium brands. And there is ZERO competition for their attention from any health provider.
- Approach: Contact farm shop manager. "We'd like to offer your customers a free health screening day β body composition analysis and AI skin assessment. No cost to you, drives footfall, your customers love it."
- Setup: Table or small room near the cafΓ©. Tanita scales, SkinScope, iPad, SkinCeuticals display case. Banner: "Free Health Scan β DoctoriumGP"
- Flow: Customer walks past β "Fancy a free body composition scan? Takes 2 minutes" β scan β "Your metabolic age is 56, you're actually 43 β let me explain what that means" β SkinScope scan β product recommendations β capture details
- Revenue: 20 scans in a day, 8 buy SkinCeuticals (avg Β£120), 2 book EMSella courses. Gross: Β£960 products + Β£1,000 EMSella deposits = Β£1,960. Net after costs: ~Β£1,400
- Follow-up: All 20 scanned customers get an email invite to the next farm shop day, plus an invitation to DoctoriumGP Derby for treatments
Corporate Wellness Playbook
Why corporate is the highest-volume play: A farm shop gives you 15β25 scans. A corporate office with 200 staff gives you 40β50 scans in a single day. Two-minute Tanita scans, production line, one after another. Every person gets a branded PDF. Half of them are shocked by their metabolic age. Every one is a potential DoctoriumGP patient.
Three Corporate Models
| Model | What You Offer | Who Pays | Revenue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free wellness day | Tanita body comp scans for all staff. Free. HR ticks their wellbeing KPI box | Nobody β it's your marketing cost | Β£0 upfront, but 40β50 new patients in your database. SkinCeuticals upsell on the day. EMSella/treatment bookings downstream |
| Paid wellness package | Tanita + SkinScope + mini consultation for each employee. Branded report emailed | Employer pays Β£25β50 per employee | 50 staff Γ Β£35 = Β£1,750/day + product upsell + patient capture |
| Premium Health MOT day | Dr Gemma + all scans + private consultation. Full Turnkey Package | Employer pays Β£1,500β2,500 for the day, or per-employee at Β£75β150 | Β£1,500β2,500 package fee + product sales + treatment bookings |
Why HR Departments Say Yes
- It's free (Model 1): "A CQC-registered health clinic wants to give your staff free body composition analysis. No cost. We just need a meeting room for the day." β no HR manager says no to that
- Wellbeing KPI: Companies are measured on employee wellbeing initiatives. A Health MOT Day is a tangible, reportable activity
- Reduced absenteeism angle: Staff who understand their metabolic health make better choices. Employer benefits from healthier workforce
- Team activity: "Body Comp Day" becomes a talking point. Staff compare metabolic ages, challenge each other, share results. Engagement goes through the roof
- Duty of care: If a scan identifies something concerning (high visceral fat, unusually low muscle mass), DoctoriumGP can recommend the employee sees their GP. The employer looks responsible
Corporate Revenue Scenario
| Activity | Volume | Revenue |
|---|---|---|
| Free Tanita scans (hook) | 50 scans | Β£0 |
| SkinCeuticals product sales (15% conversion β lower than salon, different demo) | 7 sales | Β£840 |
| EMSella interest / bookings | 3 bookings | Β£450 deposits |
| GLP-1 weight loss enquiries | 5 leads | Est. Β£1,250 downstream (Β£249/consultation) |
| Ultrahuman Ring interest | 2 sales | Β£658 |
| Day 1 revenue | Β£1,948 + Β£1,250 pipeline | |
| 50 new patients in database | LTV: Β£25,000β100,000 over 12 months |
Target Companies (Derby / East Midlands)
- Large employers: Rolls-Royce, Toyota, JCB, Bombardier, Experian, Capital One
- Professional services: Law firms, accountancy practices, consultancies (affluent staff, desk-bound = high visceral fat)
- Tech companies: Health-conscious culture, already offer perks, competitive about metrics
- NHS trusts / hospitals: Ironic but β healthcare workers are often the unhealthiest. Plus they understand the data
- Universities: Academic staff + admin staff. Large numbers, easy to book through HR
- Industrial parks: Multiple companies in one location. Do 3 offices in one day

20. Staffing vs Pop-Up Model β Financial Comparison
20.1 The Question
Is it better to employ someone to deliver basic aesthetics in clinic 3 days/week (WednesdayβFriday, when Gemma is at her NHS GP partnership), or should Ade run pop-ups at partner venues instead?
This is one of the most important strategic decisions for DoctoriumGP's growth. Both options utilise the same idle device days, but they produce radically different financial outcomes, risk profiles, and growth trajectories.
20.2 Option A: Employ an Aesthetic Therapist/Nurse (3 Days/Week)
Annual Costs
| Cost Item | Annual Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Salary (60% FTE) | Β£16,800β19,200 | Full-time Β£28,000β32,000. 3 days/week = 60% |
| Employer NI (13.8% above Β£9,100) | Β£1,062β1,394 | Statutory obligation |
| Workplace pension (3%) | Β£504β576 | Auto-enrolment minimum |
| Professional indemnity insurance | Β£500β1,000 | Required for unsupervised treatments |
| Training / CPD | Β£500β1,000 | Laser safety, device training, refreshers |
| Recruitment (amortised 3yr) | Β£667β1,667 | One-off Β£2,000β5,000 via agency |
| Holiday cover impact | Included | 5.6 weeks statutory β only 46.4 working weeks but paying 52 |
| Sick pay impact | Included | UK avg 5.7 days/yr β diary empty, still paying salary |
| Management overhead | Opportunity cost | Ade's time on HR, payroll, supervision |
| Total annual cost | Β£20,033β24,837 |
What They CAN Deliver
- EMSella treatments (6β10 sessions/day at Β£100β150)
- Exion non-needling face RF (4β8 sessions/day at Β£100β150)
- Basic consultations
- Body composition scans (Tanita)
- SkinScope AI skin assessments
What They CANNOT Deliver
- Menopause consultations (not a doctor)
- Prescriptions of any kind (HRT, GLP-1)
- Treatments requiring medical oversight without Gemma present
- Private GP consultations
- Clinical decision-making beyond device operation

| Year 2 | Β£69,000β144,900 | Β£20,033β24,837 | Β£44,163β124,063 |
Risks
- Recruitment risk β Wrong hire takes 3β6 months to replace. Probation, performance management, potentially tribunal
- Employment law β Dismissal process, unfair dismissal claims, maternity/paternity leave, flexible working requests
- Empty diary = paying for nothing β If bookings don't come, salary still goes out
- Geographic limitation β Same Derby location, same patient pool. May cannibalise Gemma's patients
- No cover β When they're off sick or on holiday, diary is empty and revenue is zero
- Insurance/indemnity β Additional costs and CQC scrutiny for unsupervised treatments
- CQC complexity β Non-doctor treatments require documented protocols, supervision, competency sign-off
20.3 Option B: Ade Pop-Up at Partner Venues (3 Days/Week)
Annual Costs
| Cost Item | Annual Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Travel/fuel | Β£4,140β8,280 | Β£30β60/day Γ 3 days Γ 46 weeks |

| 3 days/week | Β£234,600 | Β£4,140β22,080 | Β£212,520β230,460 |
Advantages
- ZERO staffing headaches β No recruitment, HR, sick pay, holiday pay, tribunals, NI, pension
- ZERO fixed costs when not operating β No pop-up day = no cost. Complete flexibility

- 100% product margins retained β No employee commission or split
- Brand building β DoctoriumGP visible at farm shops, racecourses, corporate offices, gyms
- Scalable β Add days, venues, or hire someone to replicate the model later
- Affluent demographics β Farm shops, racecourses, corporate offices = high conversion
- No CQC complications β EMSella is non-invasive, SkinScope/Tanita are assessment tools
- Device hire runs in parallel β Devices not at pop-ups go out on hire. Both models simultaneously
20.4 Head-to-Head Comparison
| Factor | Option A: Employ Staff | Option B: Ade Pop-Up |
|---|---|---|
| Annual fixed cost | Β£20,033β24,837 | Β£4,140β22,080 |

| Staffing risk | HIGH | NONE |
| HR/legal obligations | Significant | None |
| Geographic reach | Derby only | Midlands-wide |
| Patient acquisition | Existing patients only | NEW patients from partner venues |
| Flexibility | Low (committed 3 days/wk) | High (pick and choose) |
| Brand building | None (clinic-based) | Significant (visible across region) |
| Scalability | Hire more staff (more risk) | Clone the model |
| CQC complexity | Higher | Lower |
| Product revenue | Low | High (SkinCeuticals + Ultrahuman) |
| Management time | Significant | Zero |
20.5 Verdict
The pop-up model wins on every metric. Year 1 net profit is 3β4Γ higher, fixed costs are 80% lower, there's zero staffing risk, and every pop-up captures NEW patients from NEW geographies rather than fighting for the same Derby patient base.
The ONLY scenario where employing staff makes sense is when DoctoriumGP has more demand than Ade can physically service β at which point, hire pop-up operators to replicate the model at multiple venues simultaneously, rather than employing clinic-based staff.
Bottom line: No employees needed. The devices either go out on hire or Ade takes them to partner venues. Both options generate more revenue than paying someone Β£20,000+/year to sit in the Derby clinic hoping patients walk in.
20.6 Running Both Streams Simultaneously β First-Come-First-Served
Both streams run in parallel from day one. The scheduling logic is simple: first-come-first-served.
- If a hire booking comes in first for Wednesday, it takes priority. Ade delivers the device and either runs a pop-up elsewhere with different equipment or uses the day for outreach/admin
- If a pop-up is booked first, it takes priority. If a hire enquiry comes in for the same day, offer them the next available date
- Ideally, both run on the same day with DIFFERENT devices β EMSella goes out on hire while Ade takes Exion + SkinScope + Tanita to a venue
The optimal Wednesday/Thursday/Friday looks like this:
| Activity | Daily Revenue | Risk |
|---|---|---|
| EMSella on hire at partner clinic/practitioner | Β£400β700 | Medium (third party) |
| Ade at pop-up with Exion + SkinScope + Tanita | Β£1,200β1,700 | Low (Ade controls) |
| Combined daily revenue (zero employees) | Β£1,600β2,400 |
The killer insight: If demand from EITHER stream exceeds what we can service with our current devices, that's the business case to buy another machine. "We're turning away Β£X/week because we don't have enough devices" is an incredibly powerful justification for investment. This is how the fleet grows organically β demand first, capital second.
Combined annual revenue (3 days/week, 46 weeks):
- Device hire: Β£55,200β96,600
- Pop-ups: Β£165,600β234,600
- Total: Β£220,800β331,200 β all with zero staff costs
This is the optimal configuration. Maximum revenue, maximum geographic reach, minimum risk, zero employees.
21. Venue Partner Strategy & Outreach
DoctoriumGP is targeting premium venues across the East Midlands for pop-up health clinics. Free health screenings (SkinScope AI + Tanita body comp) drive footfall, build brand awareness, and capture new patients. Every venue's customers receive an exclusive Β£25 discount code for DoctoriumGP treatments and appointments β a genuine value-add the venue can promote. The venue pays nothing and receives nothing directly from DoctoriumGP. Their benefit is increased footfall, premium positioning, and something genuinely valuable to offer their customers. Zero cost, zero risk.
Full database of 83+ target venues compiled β see TARGET_PARTNER_SITES_DATABASE.md for the complete list with contact details, venue type, and outreach status.
21.0 Conflict of Interest Framework
Critical thinking required for every venue. Not every venue can receive the full DoctoriumGP offering. Some venues sell competing beauty products, have in-house body composition services, or offer overlapping health services. We must tailor what we bring to each venue to avoid stepping on toes and to maximise what we CAN offer.
| Potential Conflict | Example | Our Response |
|---|---|---|
| Venue sells beauty/skincare | Salons with retail, spas with product lines | Don't bring SkinCeuticals. Focus on health: Tanita body comp, menopause info, EMSella |
| Venue has in-house body metrics | David Lloyd, premium gyms with InBody scanners | Don't bring Tanita. Focus on EMSella, SkinScope, health talks, PT connections |
| Venue offers aesthetic treatments | Beauty salons with facials/peels/laser | Don't compete on aesthetics. Focus on menopause, pelvic floor, body comp β complementary services they can't offer |
| No conflict | Farm shops, racecourses, corporate offices, golf clubs | Bring everything. Full DoctoriumGP pop-up experience |
21.1 Farm Shops & Garden Centres NO CONFLICT β FULL KIT
The ideal pop-up venue. Affluent 40-65 demographic already in a leisurely, browsing mindset. Farm shop customers are our exact patient profile β health-conscious, premium-minded, local. The cafe area provides natural dwell time. Zero conflict β farm shops don't offer health or beauty services, so we bring everything.
What we bring: SkinScope AI, Tanita body comp, EMSella, SkinCeuticals, Ultrahuman Ring
Already approached: Denstone Hall Farm Shop (Rupert, Managing Director). Full co-branded proposal in Section 22 below.
Other targets:
- Chatsworth Estate Farm Shop β Peak District, ultra-premium demographic, massive footfall
- Kedleston Country House β National Trust venue, affluent visitors
- Croots Farm Shop, Duffield β Popular local, strong cafe trade
- Derbyshire Dales farm shops β Ashbourne, Bakewell, Matlock circuit
- Bennetts, High Lane β Garden centre + cafe, Derbyshire
21.2 Racecourses & Event Venues NO CONFLICT β FULL KIT
Premium demographics, high footfall days, racegoers actively looking for experiences between races. Free health scans are "something different" that generates buzz. Hospitality packages can include VIP health screening. Zero conflict β racecourses don't offer health or beauty.
What we bring: Everything β full pop-up kit including EMSella demos
Already approached: Uttoxeter Racecourse (marketing team). Targeting Sausage & Cider Festival Raceday (28 March) or Staffordshire Plate (2 May) as trial.
Other targets:
- Derby County Showground β Multiple events calendar, corporate days
- Bakewell Showground β Annual show + regular events
- East Midlands Arena, Donington β Exhibition space, corporate events
21.3 Premium Gyms & Health Clubs PARTIAL CONFLICT β TAILORED KIT
Conflict note: Large premium gyms like David Lloyd typically have their own body composition services (InBody scanners etc.). Don't bring the Tanita β it's a direct conflict. But EMSella, SkinScope, health talks, and the connection to our PT Partner Programme are all complementary. We pick up PTs as partners AND their members as patients.
What we bring: EMSella, SkinScope AI, health/menopause information, DoctoriumGP pop-up banners, Dr Lewis for consultations
What we DON'T bring: Tanita body comp scales (conflict with in-house offering)
Extra angle: Connect with PTs in the gym β they're our target for the PT Partner Programme (health dashboards, referral revenue). A gym pop-up doubles as PT recruitment.
Specific targets:
- David Lloyd, Derby β We're members. Perfect for EMSella pop-up + PT connections. NO Tanita
- David Lloyd, Nottingham β Same approach, wider reach
- PureGym / The Gym Group β Budget gyms still have health-conscious members who'd love a free skin scan
21.4 CrossFit, Padel & Independent Gyms NO CONFLICT β FULL KIT
Fitness-focused members tracking performance β body composition is a slam dunk. Padel players, CrossFitters, and boutique gym members love data. These venues typically don't have any body comp or health services, so no conflict β bring everything.
What we bring: Full kit β Tanita body comp is the star here, plus SkinScope, EMSella, SkinCeuticals
Already approached: Your Padel, Uttoxeter (new venue, Robert Bakewell Way).
Other targets:
- CrossFit Derby / CrossFit Ilkeston β Performance obsessed, love body comp data
- F45 Training Derby β Franchise, body transformation focused
- PT studios and independent gyms across Derbyshire β these are also PT Partner Programme targets
21.5 Hair Salons PARTIAL CONFLICT β HEALTH ONLY
Conflict note: Premium hair salons like Sally Montagu often sell beauty products and may offer aesthetic treatments. Don't bring SkinCeuticals or position as an aesthetics clinic. But the health angle β Tanita body comp, menopause information, EMSella pelvic floor β is complementary and they can't offer it. Captive audience sitting in the chair for 1-2 hours.
What we bring: Tanita body comp, EMSella, menopause/health information, DoctoriumGP branding
What we DON'T bring: SkinCeuticals (conflict with their retail), SkinScope skin analysis (they may see this as competing with their beauty offering)
Specific targets:
- Sally Montagu Hair, Derby β Multiple salons across the county, right demographic (affluent 35-60 women), upmarket positioning. Health-only pop-up
- Toni & Guy, Derby β High street premium, strong female clientele
- Independent premium salons in Ashby, Uttoxeter, Ashbourne β smaller but loyal client base
21.6 Beauty Salons & Aesthetics Clinics HIGH CONFLICT β MENOPAUSE/PELVIC ONLY
Conflict note: Beauty salons and aesthetics clinics offer treatments that overlap with DoctoriumGP's services. Cannot bring SkinCeuticals, SkinScope, or position as aesthetics. However, menopause care and EMSella pelvic floor are completely different offerings they typically can't provide. Focus on health, not beauty.
What we bring: EMSella (pelvic floor β totally different to beauty treatments), menopause information/leaflets
What we DON'T bring: SkinCeuticals, SkinScope, Tanita (potential overlap with body sculpting messaging)
Best approach: A referral relationship rather than a full pop-up. "We do the medical side β menopause, pelvic floor, prescriptions β you do the beauty side. Let's refer to each other."
21.7 Corporate Offices NO CONFLICT β FULL KIT
On-site health screening days for employees β body composition scans, skin analysis, wellness talks. HR departments love it. Zero conflict β corporates don't offer these services internally.
What we bring: Full kit. Body comp scans, SkinScope, EMSella demos, health talks by Dr Lewis
Reality check on blue-chip targets: Rolls-Royce, Toyota, JCB, Bombardier all have in-house HR teams who've likely tried wellness initiatives before. We should absolutely approach them, but also target mid-tier companies where the HR team is smaller, more agile, and more likely to say yes quickly. Local employers with 50-500 staff are the sweet spot.
Blue-chip targets (approach but expect longer lead times):
- Rolls-Royce, Derby (40,000+ employees locally)
- Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Burnaston
- JCB, Rocester / Uttoxeter
- Bombardier / Alstom, Derby
Mid-tier targets (faster decision-making, more likely to convert):
- Lubrizol, Hazelwood β Chemical company, 500+ staff, good benefits culture
- Denby Pottery, Denby β Heritage brand, 200+ staff, visitor centre could double as pop-up venue
- Thorntons HQ, Alfreton β Ferrero-owned now but local site still operates
- Cathedral Quarter businesses, Derby β Law firms, accountancy practices, financial services (50-200 staff)
- East Midlands Gateway / Kegworth logistics hub β Amazon, DHL, XPO β large workforces with limited wellness access
- Local NHS trusts as employer (not patient-facing) β staff wellness days for nurses and admin
- Professional services firms β Smith Cooper, Geldards, Nelsons Solicitors β 100-300 staff, professional demographic
- East Midlands Airport β Staff wellness for airport employees, plus business lounge pop-up potential
21.8 Hotels & Spas PARTIAL CONFLICT β TAILORED
Conflict note: Spa hotels likely sell skincare and offer beauty treatments. Focus on health and wellness angle β body comp, menopause, pelvic floor. SkinCeuticals may conflict with their spa retail. Check each venue individually.
What we bring: Tanita body comp, EMSella, health consultations, Dr Lewis wellness talks
What we assess per venue: Whether SkinScope and SkinCeuticals are appropriate or conflict with their offering
Targets:
- Morley Hayes, Derby β Hotel, golf, spa, events. Perfect multi-use venue
- Makeney Hall, Milford β Boutique hotel, corporate events
- Kedleston Country House Hotel β Premium, National Trust adjacency
- Breadsall Priory (Marriott) β Golf + spa, corporate crowd
21.9 Golf Clubs NO CONFLICT β FULL KIT
Affluent membership base, social environment, members skew 45-65 and health-conscious. Golf clubs don't offer health or beauty services. The club promotes the pop-up health clinic day via email and noticeboard β it becomes a social event. Where money hangs out.
What we bring: Full kit β Tanita body comp is a conversation starter over a pint after the round
Targets:
- Uttoxeter Golf Club β Local, manageable size, personal connections
- Chevin Golf Club, Duffield β Affluent membership, Belper/Duffield demographic
- Kedleston Park Golf Club β Premium, strong corporate membership
- Breadsall Priory Golf Club β Marriott-owned, premium
- Mickleover Golf Club β Large membership, good social scene
- Ashbourne Golf Club β Rural affluent, Derbyshire Dales
- Branston Golf & Country Club β Burton area, strong membership
- Erewash Valley Golf Club β Ilkeston, different geography
21.10 QR Code Tracking & Patient Attribution
Every venue gets a unique QR code. When a customer scans it, they land on a DoctoriumGP page specific to that venue β "Welcome from Denstone Hall Farm Shop" / "Welcome from Uttoxeter Golf Club". This lets us track exactly where every patient comes from.
How it works:
- Each venue gets a unique QR code printed on banners, flyers, and table cards during pop-ups
- QR code links to
doctoriumgp.co.uk/welcome/[venue-slug]β a personalised landing page - Landing page includes the Β£25 discount code (auto-applied), booking link, and DoctoriumGP info
- Every booking, enquiry, and sale from that page is attributed to the venue
- Monthly report shows: "Denstone Hall generated 12 patients, Β£3,400 revenue. Uttoxeter Golf Club generated 8 patients, Β£2,100 revenue."
Why this matters: We can prove ROI per venue. We can double down on what works. And we can show venue partners the impact β "Your customers generated X bookings last month" reinforces the relationship.
21.11 Revenue Streams β Current Equipment vs Target Equipment
| Device | Status | Treatment | Price/Session | Daily Potential |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BTL EMSella | OWNED | Pelvic floor strengthening | Β£100β200 | 6-10 sessions = Β£600β2,000 |
| BTL Exion (Face RF) | OWNED | Non-invasive skin tightening | Β£100β150 | 4-8 sessions = Β£400β1,200 |
| BTL Exion (RF Micro) | OWNED | RF microneedling | Β£150β350 | 4-6 sessions = Β£600β2,100 |
| SkinScope AI | OWNED | Skin analysis (free β lead gen) | Β£0 (hook) | 15-20 scans β upsells |
| Tanita BC-580 | OWNED | Body comp (free β lead gen) | Β£0 (hook) | 15-20 scans β upsells |
| SkinCeuticals | IN STOCK | Premium skincare retail | Β£79β149/product | 6 sales = Β£720 (53-65% margin) |
| BTL Emsculpt Neo | PURSUING | Muscle building + fat reduction | Β£200β500 | 4-6 sessions = Β£800β3,000 |
| PicoStar / PicoSure | PURSUING | Tattoo removal, pigmentation | Β£150β400 | 4-8 sessions = Β£600β3,200 |
Current kit alone can generate Β£1,200β1,700 net per pop-up day through a combination of free scans (hook) β SkinCeuticals sales + EMSella bookings + future patient capture. Target devices would significantly increase this ceiling.

22. Denstone Hall Farm Shop β Pop-Up Proposal
This is the first specific venue proposal. Denstone Hall Farm Shop is the ideal first pop-up β Ade knows the Managing Director (Rupert) personally, the demographic is perfect, and there's zero conflict of interest.

Contact: Rupert (Managing Director) β known personally to Ade
Demographic: Affluent 40-65, health-conscious, premium mindset, Staffordshire/Derbyshire Dales

22.2 What Denstone Hall's Customers Get
- Exclusive Β£25 discount code for ALL Denstone Hall customers on any DoctoriumGP treatment or appointment
- Free health scans β body composition and skin analysis, no strings attached
- Access to a CQC-registered private clinic that they might not otherwise know about
- Personalised health reports they can take home and discuss with their GP
What does Denstone Hall get directly from DoctoriumGP? Nothing financially. No commission, no revenue share. Their benefit is the increased footfall from advertising the free health screening day, the premium brand positioning of hosting a doctor-led health clinic, and a genuinely useful offering for their customers. Their customers love it. Their tenants benefit from the extra traffic. Everybody wins without us paying anyone a penny.
22.3 Tenant Bonus
Denstone Hall has multiple tenants including a hairdresser. The pop-up benefits everyone:
- The hairdresser promotes the health clinic dates to their clients β customers book a hair appointment and get a free skin scan while they're there
- Every tenant business benefits from increased footfall on pop-up days
- The Β£25 discount code works for their customers too β giving tenants something valuable to offer
22.4 How It Works
- Pick a Date β We agree a Saturday. Denstone Hall promotes via email list, social media, and in-store signage 1-2 weeks in advance. Tenants promote to their clients too.
- We Set Up β DoctoriumGP arrives with all equipment. Setup takes 30 minutes. We need a table and small area near the cafe.
- Scans All Day β Customers get free health scans throughout the day. We handle everything β Denstone carries on as normal.
- Patient Capture β Customers who want products or treatments book directly with DoctoriumGP. The Β£25 discount code is tracked via QR code specific to Denstone Hall.
- Rinse & Repeat β If it works (and it will), we make it a regular fixture β monthly or fortnightly.
