Livance

Livance (Livance Consultórios) operates a network of shared, fully serviced consulting rooms for physicians, psychologists, nutritionists and other healthcare professionals in Brazil, combined with a digital platform for running a private practice. Members pay a monthly subscription plus only the minutes they schedule or use, avoiding fixed-period room rentals. A membership gives access to rooms at any unit at no additional cost, along with unlimited coworking use, included parking, online scheduling, appointment confirmation, a personal professional website and a mobile app for managing the practice agenda ("App Livance").

Rooms are specialized by use case, including multidisciplinary, gynecology, psychology, teleconsultation, flex and kids rooms, and pricing per minute varies by specialty, city and room type. The company lists roughly 70+ specialties in its pricing selector, spanning medical fields as well as nutrition, physiotherapy, speech therapy, dentistry, psychology and psychoanalysis. Additional services marketed on the site are Livance Assist (automation and personalized support for the practice) and Livance Pay (integrated scheduling, payment and financial management). The site also publishes content resources such as consultation-pricing and financial-return calculators and patient-referral guides. Segmented offerings target professionals at career start, in growth/expansion, with consolidated practices, and clinics.

According to press coverage of its January 2024 funding round, Livance was established in 2017 by Claudio Mifano, Gustavo Machado and Fábio Soccol, and positions itself as an eHealth company digitizing medical office operations while operating physical locations where professionals see patients.

Founding story

The company was created to simplify the lives of physicians and other healthcare professionals and to act as a partner in operating their own practice, offering consulting rooms with flexible costs and reduced bureaucracy while enabling networking among thousands of health professionals on its platform.

Business model

Membership-based access to shared clinical space: professionals pay a monthly plan fee plus a per-minute charge for rooms scheduled or used, with no fixed-hour leases. Plans are sold in Light and Full tiers on monthly or annual terms; the annual Light plan is listed at R$189/month with room use restricted to off-peak windows, and the annual Full plan at R$259/month with unrestricted hours, both with a 12-month commitment. Plans include agenda access across all units, unlimited coworking, garage parking and a personal website. Livance Pay adds integrated scheduling, payment and financial management.

Recurring monthly subscription revenue plus variable per-minute room usage fees that vary by specialty, city and room type; adjacent services include Livance Assist and Livance Pay.
