What Should I Consider When Opening a Dermatology Clinic in or Around Baltimore?

Location quality is the dominant factor in survival outcomes. A high Survivability Score isn't a nice-to-have — it's the floor every candidate address must clear. Our models show that Revenue Capture Score explains more outcome variance than any other individual metric. StreetSpring computes this by projecting the business's market share, which is based on the quality and quantity of primary, secondary, and tertiary competitors. Our models draw from one of the most comprehensive commercial real estate datasets ever assembled. Some competition is beneficial to attract customers with similar intents to the same area. Every score is produced by our in-house models, continuously refined against real-world business outcomes.

Consideration	Common pitfall	What to verify before signing
Lease term	Locking into 7-10 years without break clauses, then needing to relocate after year 2.	Negotiate a relocation or termination clause. Confirm assignment + sublease rights are in writing.
Workforce availability	Hiring radius is smaller than you think — many neighborhoods can't staff a full team at standard wages.	Pull BLS wage data for your industry in this metro. Walk through your staffing plan with a local restaurant/retail operator before signing.
Outdoor seating / sidewalk use	Signing assuming you can add patio seating, then learning the city requires a separate sidewalk-cafe permit with long lead times.	Check the city's sidewalk-cafe permit process up front. Confirm landlord allows outdoor build-out in the lease language.

This can be summarized as:

Revenue Capture Score = Projected Market Share × Forecasted Spend on Specific Business
