There’s surprisingly little help for CAM startups online (hence this site, I suppose…). However, the Canadian gov, and a few of the provinces, have specific info for starting your alternative health practice.

A fair bit of it’s Canadian-specific, but it’s worth a spin through. Some interesting industry stats, too:

Starting an Alternative and Complementary Health Care Business

(In addition, the province of British Columbia has a PDF that’s not listed on the main Canadian Small Business site: http://www.smallbusinessbc.ca/pdf/alter.pdf )

If anyone knows of comparable resources for the US, UK, Australia, etc, let me know…
