196 new ABA businesses launched last month. At least 17 won’t make it to year one.

It’s not for lack of passion. It’s almost never about clinical quality.
It’s cash flow.

We make about 100 calls a day to new ABA business owners to welcome them into the ABA Impact community. When we call back within a year, more than 8% of those practices are already gone.

No more LLC. No more clients. No more payroll.

The usual story? Medicaid didn’t pay for 6 months. The staff they hired left in month two. They spent thousands on a “consultant” who ghosted. Or compliance costs stacked up before a single claim was processed.

The storm hits early. And hard.

That’s why we created the eBCBA Blueprint: Foundation course and made it free. It’s designed to help new owners stress test their financial hypothesis before they build around it.

If your bank account is your blind spot, this course gives you a flashlight.

You won’t stop the storm. But you’ll at least see it coming.
