Seven years ago in 2018, two former principal college classmates, weary of their business tasks, started exploring the idea of innovation. Amelia Lee was an investment banker and Aileen Seah was a legal maid. Both were in the last year of their forties.
Lee, whose father is a physician, was looking for anything more important to do. “ He’d come home and tell me what surgeries he’d done. On the other hand, I was like, ‘ I played with my Excel sheet a hundred times, a thousand times’, ” she said.
The pals began exploring the possibility of acquiring a traditional company with no inheritance program, where members were sometimes without successors or looking to move on. This was an thought Lee had encountered in the United States while doing her Master of Business Administration.
After considering everything from tau huay ( beancurd ) production to funeral services, Lee and Seah stumbled upon Chiropractic Singapore, a small chain of three chiropractic clinics whose founder was looking to sell and move back to America.
Seah was then in the last trimester of pregnancy and suffered from aches and aches because of the strain her baby put on her hips and friendly vaginal tissue.
Her quick thought about naturopathic care: “It sounded like everything just expats would do, ” Seah laughed. Doctors treat neuromusculoskeletal disorders, mainly through spinal modifications to strengthen alignment and relieve pain.
Seah’s second conference changed her mind. “It actually took a lot of stress off my hips, and it helped me move much, ” she told CNA Women.
That’s how the two friends ended up buying the company in 2019.
