2 ABOUT US Thank you for contacting us and inquiring about our Company and services. We are a one of a kind company in that we offer complete pharmacy startup packages, from beginning until the end. Just imagine someone else doing all the work on your behalf to open you a brand new pharmacy. And then imagine, that you will spend half of what it would cost if you did it yourself. PHARMACY INDUSTRY Unlike other industries, the pharmacy industry is fast growing and will continue to grow for years to come. Not only do Americans take more and more medications every year, but our senior population is estimated to double by the year We are in a great position as the best industry to be a part of. We take all the uncertainties out of the equation, and guide you through the whole process. Also keep in mind the profit margins of independent pharmacy owners. Study after study shows that independent pharmacy owners' average profits are almost double the average pharmacist's salary. Please visit the following link amongst others to see the profit trends of our industry in more detail: Below is a brief explanation of our various services that we complete on your behalf. Please contact us if you have any other questions, and we will try our best to help you. Again, Thank you for inquiring about our services, and hopefully we can work together. CHOOSING A LOCATION The most important decision you will make to succeed is choosing the right location to do business from. Choosing the right location can make the difference on whether you succeed or fail in any business. What's the point of spending all your money if you don't have a good location? In choosing a location, there are many criteria that have to be met in order for us to move forward. We will do a rough demographics of the location you've chosen to figure out whether the location has any potential or not. We will help you with all of this, to make sure you start off strong. LEASE SERVICES Once you've chosen a good location, we will advise you in negotiating a lease that works for you. Different businesses require different lease types. We understand what is important for you and your pharmacy and will try our best to protect you in every step of the negotiating process. Don't just sign a 2

3 standard lease without knowing your rights as a Tenant. STAFF/EMPLOYEES Before any work can begin, we will have to start the application process with the state board of pharmacy. In order to do so, we have to have a pharmacist sign your initial pharmacy application. If this is you, then there are no worries. If you are an non-pharmacist investor, or are presently a Pharmacist in Charge (PIC) at another pharmacy, then we can assist you to find and hire a pharmacist to sign and start the application process for you. PHARMACY LICENSES Once we have chosen a good location, we can start the state board of pharmacy application process. We will make sure all applications are completed on your behalf and sent out. Once completed and mailed out, it takes a couple of months to get a response from the authorities. DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION Once the initial paperwork is completed, you will be ready to begin constructing the premises. Our package includes design for a retail space (average 1000 sqft) that has clean and ready walls, floors and ceiling, lighting, and ready bathroom. Our construction estimate does not include additions or renovations of walls, floors, ceilings, electric lines/panels, existing plumbing, etc. We will build out the pharmacy department wall/window, counters, and install shelves, fixtures, sink, etc. There are many requirements from the state board of pharmacy that have to be completed in the construction process. We will take care of this long process and make sure that there are no mistakes in any part of your pharmacy construction process. VIDEO SURVEILLANCE There isn't much left to do, except the final little details. Included in our packages is a 8-camera video surveillance security system that protects your pharmacy. You will have the option to access and view your pharmacy from anywhere through the internet, from your phone or a computer. PHARMACY INSPECTIONS After the construction is complete and your pharmacy application has been accepted, a state pharmacy inspector will make an appointment to inspect the pharmacy. One small mistake and they will fail you and delay the process. We will guide you though the inspections and make sure these mistakes do not happen and get the job done the first time. 3

4 SIGNS/POSTERS/BUSINESS CARDS We will help design and purchase all business logos, exterior pharmacy signage, posters, business cards, fliers, etc. You will be ready on day one with all of your marketing materials to advertise your pharmacy. 3RD PARTY CONTRACTS Other than the licenses, you will also need to contract with the 3 rd party organizations that help cover your patients. There are many companies and some take longer than others. We will take care of this whole process in the quickest time. WHOLESALERS & INVENTORY Which wholesalers should you buy from? How do you know how much to order? How much is too much or too little? We've dealt, in one way or another, with most of the wholesalers. We know who you should work with, and who you should stay away from. Too much inventory is a waste of your resources, and too little is bad for business. We will help you in keeping a balance to make sure that you don't spend needlessly on your opening inventory, but at the same time, have enough inventory to be ready for day one. GRAND OPENING Congratulations! You have made it this far, and are now ready to start your future, in your own pharmacy.
