**Answer:** A mental health practice in Africa scales best by standardising intake, consent, notes and pricing first, then using one shared system for scheduling, records and billing across sites, adding teletherapy to extend reach, and tracking access, quality and finance per location. Growth without shared systems usually creates inconsistent care and admin overload.

### Foundations before the second site

**Scale-ready checklist**

- Standard intake, consent and note templates.
- Consistent pricing, payment and cancellation policies.
- One scheduling and records system across all sites.
- Clear clinical supervision and escalation structure.
- Per-site reporting on access, attendance, outcomes and revenue.
- Teletherapy to serve clients between or beyond physical sites.
