From the Paper:

The financing of the venture will come from Mr. Ahn, who has $200,000 in personal savings. The initial startup costs are estimated to be around $10,000 but could range upwards of $15,000. There will be no need for bank financing given the cost structure and estimated time to breakeven for this venture.
Marketing operations will consist mainly of word-of-mouth and ads in the areas two Korean newspapers. This is expected to run about $500 per month. If the marketing is effective, we will be able to grow the clinic at a rate of 10% per month until it reaches capacity halfway through the second year.
The daily operation of the clinic will be the purview of Mr. Ahn. Thus, the business will be set up as a sole proprietorship. All aspects of the company will be conducted by Mr. Ahn, until business is sufficiently strong that a part-time receptionist/administrator is required.
Our estimates show that the business will be profitable by the end of the first year, and will continue to generate strong profits for Mr. Ahn through the second year of growth and the maturity phase.
