Ringing in 2021 means millions of Americans are making their annual New Years’ resolutions – especially to lose weight. Unfortunately, many will embark on their weight loss journey alone, and without guidance, will break those promises before this month is even over. Others may find success losing some excess pounds initially, but struggle to maintain their weight, just to slip back into old habits by spring.

Medi-Weightloss is increasing the odds for long-term weight loss through their innovative nutritional program that is supervised by medical doctors. The program’s success rests on its innovative business model, which is more than just a diet. Each client undergoes a comprehensive medical examination and receives a customized plan based on each person’s individual needs.

The concept has been growing rapidly through franchising, and Medi-Weightloss now has approximately 100 locations across 27 states. Demand for weight loss services is not just hot during this time of year, but has proven to be a recession-proof, year-round industry that is booming.

Consider the following facts about the weight loss industry cited by Medi-Weightloss:

  • More than a third of adults are considered overweight or obese
  • Three out of four adults say they are trying to improve their health
  • 95% of people who diet on their own regain their lost weight within one to five years
  • Millennials are outpacing baby boomers in their search for weight loss solutions
  • Supplements can add high margins to revenue potential (Enhancing the bottom line are Medi-Weightloss’s proprietary line of signature products and supplements that exceed FDA guidelines.)

The centers, which serve adults and adolescents, also offer preventative care services that include behavioral counseling, fitness recommendations, and screenings for conditions such as metabolic syndrome, Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Because obesity is a major risk factor in developing such serious health problems, medical insurance may provide coverage for Medi-Weightloss services.

According to the company, among the factors that set Medi-Weightloss apart from other opportunities in the weight loss industry, is the access to capital made available to prospective franchise owners that help them grow their business. The company works with franchise owners to secure talent and capital needed to reach its desired demographic, and that includes access to physicians who will help customers succeed.

Another aspect of the business is that Medi-Weightloss is a turn-key operation, so franchise owners will not make the same mistakes common among startup business owners. Their proven business model has been in place for more than a decade, so operations are up-and-running quickly and efficiently without having to focus on many of the issues that most other businesses encounter.

In addition, if you do not want to be a hands-on business owner, Medi-Weightloss can be managed by employees to oversee day-to-day operations of each location. That enables franchise owners to focus on long-term goals rather than minute details.

While the franchise is an excellent opportunity for physicians, as many Medi-Weightloss owners are doctors, a medical background is not necessary. The brand is seeking potential franchise owners with an entrepreneurial spirit, a passion for helping others, and dedication to achieving success.
