Frequently asked questions

The total investment generally falls between INR 50,000 and 2 lakh, covering fit-out, basic collection equipment, opening consumables, the franchise licence, and initial staff training, making it one of the more accessible entry points in organised diagnostics franchising in India.

Indicative monthly revenue ranges from roughly INR 1 lakh to 4 lakh, with the wide spread reflecting differences in local doctor referral density, corporate or empanelment tie-ups, and how established the centre's catchment area is.

Break-even typically falls between eight and sixteen months, driven less by a fixed client count and more by how quickly the centre secures recurring institutional or referral-based volume rather than relying solely on walk-in traffic.

Centres need trained phlebotomy and sample-handling staff, and the franchisor favours franchisees or managers with a medical or science background given the clinical nature of sample collection and the consequences of handling errors.

Franchisees generally need to follow NABL-linked sample handling and quality protocols, comply with applicable clinical establishment registration, manage biomedical waste disposal contracts, and pursue CGHS empanelment where relevant to expand the customer base.
