Use the break-even line as the reality check.
The payment can look manageable while the required utilization is not. Start by replacing the defaults with supplier quotes, your market pricing, staff time, consumables, and marketing costs.

Transparent assumptions
Defaults are starting points, not promises.
Equipment: $25k-$45k depending package, accessories, and lease terms
Pricing: $125-$275 depending market and add-ons
Utilization: 25-75 treatments per week for membership-friendly facial programs
Financing: Lease and finance options can change cash-flow timing materially
Consumable assumptions often drive the model more than the equipment payment.
Use actual vendor cartridge, serum, and membership economics before committing.
