Pricing
Shorr Solutions does not publish a starting price or a price list. Its FAQ describes two ways to buy: focused packages for specific needs, or full-service annual consulting. Its consultation page states a $300 consultation fee. That page also invites a free consult, so ask which applies before you book.
Durocher Enterprises publishes a starting price of $2,400 for four months of coaching, which covers two one-hour coaching calls per month. Business planning is priced on consultation and includes architectural design and space planning, revenue and business planning, and staff recruitment and retention programs. The site does not state a setup fee for either.
Contract and cancellation
Shorr's site does not state a minimum term or cancellation terms for its packages or its annual consulting. Durocher sells coaching with a stated time commitment of four months, and prices business planning on consultation. Its site does not state cancellation terms for either. Ask both firms what you owe if you stop early.
Built for med spas
Shorr's FAQ says it specializes in medical aesthetic practices, including dermatology, plastic surgery and med spas. Its site lists a page on opening a new aesthetic practice, and its services include practice startup consulting, financial analysis, human resources and recruiting, staff and sales training, compliance training, marketing and exit strategy consulting. The site states it was founded in 2011, names executives Jay A. Shorr and Patricia X. Shorr and four team members, and publishes support hours of Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM ET. It names three clients: Luxe Aesthetics & Wellness, Nava Face & Eye and Pacific Heights Plastic Surgery.

Where Shorr describes an onboarding that starts with a consultation to discuss needs and outline a customized plan, Durocher's site does not describe one. Neither site publishes a case study with a stated result, and neither links third-party reviews.
Which one to look at first

If you are opening or selling a practice, Shorr's site lists a page on opening a new aesthetic practice, plus exit strategy consulting, financial analysis and recruiting. Its package prices are not published, and its site states a $300 consultation fee on the same page that invites a free consult, so confirm the cost of that first call.
