PITCH ME IN 60 SECONDS

Established private clinic to address current healthcare challenges: An interview with Elle Jay Aesthetics

22nd July 2024

In this episode of PITCH ME IN 60 SECONDS, we sat down with Lindsey Watson, the founder of a rapidly growing healthcare business, to discuss the challenges she's addressing, her innovative solutions, and her vision for the future. Lindsey shared insights into her journey from a long-standing NHS career to becoming a full-time entrepreneur, offering a range of private medical services.

Let’s dive in. 

CROWD2FUND: So, what problem are you solving as a business?

Lindsey Watson: My business has expanded much quicker than I anticipated. I've been a nurse for 38 years and left the NHS last year to join the business full-time, about 14 months ago. Now, I have six nurses working part-time, and I have plans for further development. I need funding to expand our health and well-being services. We offer many services that the NHS no longer provides, such as vitamin injections, blood tests, minor surgery, and skin treatments.

CROWD2FUND: Thank you. And what is your specific solution?

Lindsey Watson:  Well, alongside the aesthetic business, I run a CQC-registered medical centre. We also offer body sculpting, weight loss assistance, and work with nutritionists. We provide services that people can't get elsewhere, and they feel secure coming to a medical centre staffed with nurses and, soon, doctors. Our solutions range from blood tests and injections to minor surgeries, body sculpting, laser hair removal, and more. For example, this morning, I performed laser scar revision for a woman getting married who had a chickenpox scar on her face.

CROWD2FUND: Understood. That makes sense. How do you make money as a business?

Lindsey Watson: We make money by charging for our services. As an advanced nurse practitioner, I prescribe and charge for consultations and treatments, aiming to offer fair prices to attract clients to our smaller clinic instead of a large private hospital. People appreciate the personal service we provide. Additionally, I perform aesthetic injections and plan to offer training once we expand, teaching others how to perform these services.

CROWD2FUND: That’s great. Lastly, why should investors trust you with their money?

Lindsey Watson: Hopefully, because I'm a trustworthy person. I've worked in the NHS since I was 18, totalling 38 years, and left last year. I've never had any legal issues, and I'm well-trusted in the local community. People come to me because they know I'm confidential and reliable. I've never had money issues before, and though I dislike asking for money, I need some help to advance further.

CROWD2FUND: Thank you, Lindsey. Appreciate your time.
