Editorial standards & source policy
The Med Spa Broker exists to help owners and buyers make better-informed decisions. A useful article should explain what to check, how the economics work, where uncertainty remains, and which specialist needs to resolve it.
Who is responsible for the site?
The site is led by Jason Taken, Business Advisor with HedgeStone Business Advisors. His background is described on the author page. We do not invent credentials, transaction results, client stories, testimonials, or clinical qualifications.
How are sources and AI used?
AI tools assist with research, drafting, organization, and mechanical quality checks. Articles cite primary regulators, legislation, government agencies, and original industry publishers where relevant. Source access and a successful URL check establish availability, not the truth of every statement on the linked page. Secondary commentary is identified and its limits explained.
State ownership, supervision, and professional-practice requirements require state-specific primary sources. A national trade article is not enough to establish a legal permission. A narrow source must not be stretched to support a broader claim. Market figures carry a publisher, period, earnings basis, and available sample limitations.
What does “last reviewed” mean?
The visible date records the editorial research and source check for that version. It is not a claim that Jason, a licensed attorney, a clinician, or an independent appraiser personally reviewed each legal or financial conclusion. Material changes should prompt a new review rather than simply changing the date.
What makes an example original?
Hypothetical scenarios show the inputs and math and are labeled illustrative. Named frameworks organize a decision; they are original educational methods, not empirically validated valuation models, recognized professional standards, or assurance that a deal will close.
How do we approach search visibility?
The editorial goal is a useful answer for a real owner or buyer. Clear headings, tables, source links, accessible text, and structured data help readers and systems understand the work. Page count, a word-count rule, an AI text file, and schema do not establish search eligibility or guarantee rankings, indexing, or AI citation. Google’s official AI features guidance describes the role of ordinary search fundamentals.
How are corrections handled?
Use Jason’s published contact information in the footer to identify the article, the disputed statement, and a primary source or specific correction. Material factual errors should be corrected at their source, with affected related content checked as well.
