Opening a float business can be one of the most rewarding things you can do with your life. Getting to opening, on the other hand, is a costly and time consuming process.

A float center will cost from $200,000 – $600,000 to open and that can easily go higher depending on your plans.

If those numbers are surprising to you, you’re not the only one. Most people think that they’ll slap some float tanks in some rooms and they’ll be good to go.

The truth is that soundproofing, waterproofing, HVAC systems, float tanks, marketing, staffing, fixtures, supplies – these things add up quickly, and a lot of the most expensive parts of opening come as a huge surprise to prospective centers.

Our largest expenses certainly came as a surprise to us at Float On, and we came incredibly close to running out of money before we ever opened our doors.

Common Questions

Does this plan let you add in other wellness modalities?

Yes, we’ve made it very easy to use this plan if floating is just one part of your larger wellness center model. The plan can easily incorporate any additional services you might like to offer (yoga, massage, chiropractic, etc.).

Is the business plan useful for Canadian float centers?

Absolutely. It’s easy to adjust the numbers and the currency to work for Canada.

Does the business plan work for countries outside the US?

Yes, we’ve had many international customers who have successfully used our plan, from countries as diverse as Ireland, India, Norway, Japan, Australia,and Colombia (to name just a few). Changing the currency is easy, but it does require you to do some price checking on materials and labor to make sure that those are accurate for your region.

Will you help me if I need assistance filling out the plan?

We definitely will. The business plan is designed to be really straightforward, but that only goes so far when we’re talking about five years worth of financial equations and ratios. We’ll be here to answer any questions, and make sure that everything in the plan makes total sense to you.

What if the business plan isn’t what I expected?

If you aren’t totally satisfied with the business plan, just let us know. You have 30 days to return it for a full refund.
