What Is a Business Plan?

A business plan provides a snapshot of your physical therapy private practice as it stands today, and lays out your growth plan for the next five years. It explains your business goals and your strategy for reaching them. It also includes market research to support your plans.

Why You Need a Business Plan

If you’re looking to start a physical therapy practice, or grow your existing business, you need a business plan. A business plan will help you raise funding, if needed, and plan out the growth of your physical therapy business in order to improve your chances of success. Your business plan is a living document that should be updated annually as your company grows and changes.

Sources of Funding for Physical Therapy Businesses

With regards to funding, the main sources of funding for a physical therapy business are personal savings, credit cards, bank loans and angel investors. With regards to bank loans, banks will want to review your business plan and gain confidence that you will be able to repay your loan and interest. To acquire this confidence, the loan officer will not only want to confirm that your financials are reasonable, but they will also want to see a professional plan. Such a plan will give them the confidence that you can successfully and professionally operate a business. Personal savings and bank loans are the most common funding paths for physical therapy businesses.

How to write a business plan for a physical therapy private practice.

If you want to start a physical therapy business or expand your current one, you need a business plan. Below we detail what should be included in each section of your business plan:

Executive Summary

Your executive summary provides an introduction to your business plan, but it is normally the last section you write because it provides a summary of each key section of your plan.

The goal of your Executive Summary is to quickly engage the reader. Explain to them the type of physical therapy private practice you are operating and the status. For example, are you a startup, do you have a physical therapy business that you would like to grow, or are you operating a chain of physical therapy businesses?

Next, provide an overview of each of the subsequent sections of your plan. For example, give a brief overview of the physical therapy industry. Discuss the type of physical therapy business you are operating. Detail your direct competitors. Give an overview of your target customers. Provide a snapshot of your marketing plan. Identify the key members of your team. And offer an overview of your financial plan.  

Company Analysis

In your company analysis, you will detail the type of physical therapy business you are operating.

For example, you might operate one of the following types of physical therapy businesses:

• Sports Physical Therapy : this type of private practice focuses on providing therapy for sports-related injuries and performance issues.
• Pediatric Physical Therapy: this type of practice focuses on physical therapy for children.
• Geriatric Physical Therapy: this type of physical therapy practice focuses on helping elderly people with issues related to aging.

In addition to explaining the type of physical therapy business you will operate, the Company Analysis section of your business plan needs to provide background on the business.

Include answers to question such as:

• When and why did you start the business?
• What milestones have you achieved to date? Milestones could include the number of customers served or number of positive reviews, etc.
• Your legal structure. Are you incorporated as an S-Corp? An LLC? A sole proprietorship? Explain your legal structure here.

Industry Analysis

In your industry analysis, you need to provide an overview of the physical therapy industry.

While this may seem unnecessary, it serves multiple purposes.

First, researching the physical therapy industry educates you. It helps you understand the market in which you are operating.

Secondly, market research can improve your strategy, particularly if your research identifies market trends.

The third reason for market research is to prove to readers that you are an expert in your industry. By conducting the research and presenting it in your plan, you achieve just that.

The following questions should be answered in the industry analysis section:

• How big is the physical therapy industry (in dollars)?
• Is the market declining or increasing?
• Who are the key competitors in the market?
• Who are the key suppliers in the market?
• What trends are affecting the industry?
• What is the industry’s growth forecast over the next 5 – 10 years?
• What is the relevant market size? That is, how big is the potential market for your physical therapy private practice? You can extrapolate such a figure by assessing the size of the market in the entire country and then applying that figure to your local population.

Customer Analysis

The customer analysis section must detail the customers you serve and/or expect to serve.

The following are examples of customer segments: hospitals and rehabilitation centers, the elderly, parents of young children and athletes.

As you can imagine, the customer segment(s) you choose will have a great impact on the type of physical therapy practice you operate. Clearly, elderly customers would respond to different marketing promotions than athletes, for example.

Try to break out your target customers in terms of their demographic and psychographic profiles. With regards to demographics, include a discussion of the ages, genders, locations and income levels of the customers you seek to serve. Because most physical therapy businesses primarily serve customers living in their same city or town, such demographic information is easy to find on government websites.

Psychographic profiles explain the wants and needs of your target customers. The more you can understand and define these needs, the better you will do in attracting and retaining your customers.

Competitive Analysis

Your competitive analysis should identify the indirect and direct competitors your business faces and then focus on the latter.

Direct competitors are other physical therapy businesses.

Indirect competitors are other options that customers have to purchase from that aren’t direct competitors. This includes hospitals, orthopedic doctors and chiropractors. You need to mention such competition as well.

With regards to direct competition, you want to describe the other physical therapy businesses with which you compete. Most likely, your direct competitors will be practices located very close to your location.

For each such competitor, provide an overview of their businesses and document their strengths and weaknesses. Unless you once worked at your competitors’ businesses, it will be impossible to know everything about them. But you should be able to find out key things about them such as:

• What types of customers do they serve?
• What types of physical therapy do they specialize in?
• What is their pricing (premium, low, etc.)?
• What are they good at?
• What are their weaknesses?

With regards to the last two questions, think about your answers from the customers’ perspective. And don’t be afraid to ask your competitors’ customers what they like most and least about them.

The final part of your competitive analysis section is to document your areas of competitive advantage. For example:

• Will you provide better physical therapy services?
• Will you provide services that your competitors don’t offer?
• Will you provide better customer service?
• Will you offer better pricing?

Think about ways you will outperform your competition and document them in this section of your plan.  

Marketing Plan

Traditionally, a marketing plan includes the four P’s: Product, Price, Place, and Promotion. For a physical therapist, your marketing plan should include the following:

Product : In the product section, you should reiterate the type of physical therapy company that you documented in your Company Analysis. Then, detail the specific products you will be offering. For example, in addition to physical therapy, will you provide personal training or any other services?

Price : Document the prices you will offer and how they compare to your competitors. Essentially in the product and price sub-sections of your marketing plan, you are presenting the services you offer and their prices.

Place : Place refers to the location of your physical therapy company. Document your location and mention how the location will impact your success. For example, is your physical therapy business located in a busy retail district or shopping plaza, near a large medical center, etc. Discuss how your location might be the ideal location for your customers.

Promotions : The final part of your physical therapy marketing plan is the promotions section. Here you will document how you will drive customers to your location(s). The following are some promotional methods you might consider:

• Advertising in local papers and magazines
• Reaching out to local websites
• Social media marketing
• Local radio advertising

Operations Plan

While the earlier sections of your business plan explained your goals, your operations plan describes how you will meet them. Your operations plan should have two distinct sections as follows.

Everyday short-term processes include all of the tasks involved in running your physical therapy business, including scheduling new patients, treating patients, writing reports and billing.

Long-term goals are the milestones you hope to achieve. These could include the dates when you expect to schedule your 100th customer, or when you hope to reach $X in revenue. It could also be when you expect to expand your physical therapy business to a new location or city.  

Management Team

To demonstrate your physical therapy business’ ability to succeed, a strong management team is essential. Highlight your key players’ backgrounds, emphasizing those skills and experiences that prove their ability to grow a company.

Ideally you and/or your team members have direct experience in managing physical therapy businesses. If so, highlight this experience and expertise. But also highlight any experience that you think will help your business succeed.

If your team is lacking, consider assembling an advisory board. An advisory board would include 2 to 8 individuals who would act like mentors to your business. They would help answer questions and provide strategic guidance. If needed, look for advisory board members with experience in managing physical therapy clinics or successfully running small businesses.  

Financial Plan

Your financial plan should include your 5-year financial statement broken out both monthly or quarterly for the first year and then annually. Your financial statements include your income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statements.

Income Statement : an income statement is more commonly called a Profit and Loss statement or P&L. It shows your revenues and then subtracts your costs to show whether you turned a profit or not.

In developing your income statement, you need to devise assumptions. For example, will you gain ten new clients per week or per month? And will sales grow by 2% or 10% per year? As you can imagine, your choice of assumptions will greatly impact the financial forecasts for your business. As much as possible, conduct research to try to root your assumptions in reality.

Balance Sheets : Balance sheets show your assets and liabilities. While balance sheets can include much information, try to simplify them to the key items you need to know about. For instance, if you spend $50,000 on building out your physical therapy business, this will not give you immediate profits. Rather it is an asset that will hopefully help you generate profits for years to come. Likewise, if a bank writes you a check for $50,000, you don’t need to pay it back immediately. Rather, that is a liability you will pay back over time.

Cash Flow Statement : Your cash flow statement will help determine how much money you need to start or grow your business, and make sure you never run out of money. What most entrepreneurs and business owners don’t realize is that you can turn a profit but run out of money and go bankrupt.

In developing your Income Statement and Balance Sheets be sure to include several of the key costs needed in starting or growing a physical therapy business:

• Location build-out including design fees, construction, etc.
• Cost of equipment and supplies
• Payroll or salaries paid to staff
• Business insurance
• Taxes and permits
• Legal expenses

Attach your full financial projections in the appendix of your plan along with any supporting documents that make your plan more compelling. For example, you might include your office location lease or a schedule of your daily operations.  

Putting together a business plan for your physical therapy business is a worthwhile endeavor. If you follow the template above, by the time you are done, you will truly be an expert. You will really understand the physical therapy industry, your competition, and your customers. You will have developed a marketing plan and will really understand what it takes to launch and grow a successful physical therapy business.

9. Appendix

The appendix section of your plan should include any additional information supporting your business plan’s main content, such as market research, legal documentation, financial statements, and other relevant information.

• Add a table of contents for the appendix section to help readers easily find specific information or sections.
• In addition to your financial statements, provide additional financial documents like tax returns, a list of assets within the business, credit history, and more. These statements must be the latest and offer financial projections for at least the first three or five years of business operations.\
• Provide data derived from market research, including stats about the physical therapy industry, user demographics, and industry trends.
• Include any legal documents such as permits, licenses, and contracts.
• Include any additional documentation related to your business plan, such as product brochures, marketing materials, operational procedures, etc.

The 9 Essentials For A Cash-Based Physical Therapy Business Plan

As a lot of cash-based physical therapists go through the Mentorship Program … they see their clinics grow… And so, something I always get asked is…

‘How do I create the perfect business plan?’

In this article, I’ll lay out the advice I give them…

Keep reading to find out just how simple it can be to create the perfect business plan.

What Is A Physical Therapy Business Plan?

Running your own physical therapy private practice isn’t easy… But your business plan should make it a lot easier.

Your business plan is your map to success…. It is an executive summary of what you’re going to do and how you’re going to do it.

If you’re in cash-based physical therapy and don’t have the luxury of insurance contracts to fall back on it’s going to be the key to growing your clinic and attracting patients.

Why Do I Need A Business Plan For A Cash-Based Physical Therapy Clinic?

You wouldn’t have a patient sign up for ten sessions without giving them a treatment plan ? So why would you run your physical therapy clinic without a business plan?

Just like your treatment plan is a roadmap to a pain-free life… your business plan is a roadmap to a successful clinic…

It will outline the steps you need to take to get where you want to be…

But you shouldn’t be fooled into thinking a business plan is just for start ups…

No matter where you are in your career… whether you’re already running a physical therapy practice or you’re just beginning, the perfect business plan will help take your private practice to the top.

The Critical Components To Include In Your Physical Therapy Business Plan

1) do your research….

Before you sit down to write your business plan… Do your research.

It is important to know your target market, clients, and competition inside out…

What is the state of the market? How do you fit in?

Speak to friends, patients, people in the community , and other practices.

Taking these steps will make sure you have the information you need to start writing.

2) Mission Statement

Your mission statement is a picture of your end goal… but you should also make this act as an executive summary.

Yes… set out your goals… but try to spell out exactly how you’re going to achieve those goals…

How will you get your practice to the top? This should be an overview but also is an opportunity to go into the finer details.

For example…

What is the vision? Describe your goals. What are you offering? Use this section to lay out how you fit into the wider market.

If you’re looking for funding or to bring investors on board, this information should be your elevator pitch….

If you can show them in detail just how great your physical therapy business will be then it will set you apart from others.

Tip – If you’re finding this hard look at some case studies. Case studies of your competitors or physical therapists you admire will help you visualise the future.

3) Practice Description

This section is the ideal place to get you and your story across. Even if you aren’t presenting this to people it can cement your vision in your mind…

What do you need? Well, start with…

Your business name. How does your practice look now and how will it look? What are you providing and how is it different from other practices? What problems do you solve for potential patients?

4) Marketing Strategy

A marketing strategy or marketing plan is essential…

If you’re like me, you didn’t spend years at university studying for a marketing degree…

But this shouldn’t be hard… you’re selling your business to new clients.

Here are a few basic questions to ask yourself… They will help you discover how you can market your business…

Why you? Why not your competition? Do you have a niche? What is your unique selling point? Know your referral sources.

Tip – If you’re struggling with this… make a detailed list of why you and your therapy practice are the best choice for a potential patient. How can you help them in a way that no one else can?

5) Finances

This should be an executive summary of all financial parts of your business…

It goes without saying that this area of your business plan is incredibly important…

It will give you clarity on your financing… but also allows you to share that information with others…

Baby boomers will remember how easy it used to be to get investors on board… Not anymore… You need a watertight financial section to secure funding…

For a small business approaching lenders, this section could make or break their decision on whether they take the steps to help your clinic grow.

Here’s what you’ll need to cover…

Expenses – Everything from purchasing equipment to wages and site rental should be covered here. Forecast – This will be an estimate of your future financial outcomes monthly and annually. Include pricing information. Cash Flow – Explain how much money is coming in and out of your clinic. Funding – How are you financing the project? Are there investors? If you’re approaching lenders then you need to have a strong business and financial plan. Projection – Gather all of the information above and project your profits and losses. Factor in investor reimbursement rate.

Tip – Statistics are your friend here. Take the current numbers from your practice and use statistics to make effective estimations.

6) Management And Operations

You have to decide how your physical therapy practice will run.

Remember you’re in the rehabilitation market, most practice owners forget that. You offer rehab solutions to get people fit and healthy… How will this work on a day-to-day basis?

Systems you will put in place to make everything happen. Who is doing what in your clinic? Will you hire a physical therapist, massage therapists, or a PT to help? If you are, what credentialing process will you use to hire?

Go into real detail here… Even to the point of, will you have your own custom email address?

The more you plan the fewer surprises there will be.

This section can get overwhelming… But don’t panic… There is help out there…

7) Use Small Business Administration Help

There are plenty of obstacles when running your own physical therapy practice…

One big hurdle I see people fall at is administration.

Your business grows and your clinic is busy… But not everyone has the luxury of an office manager…

Whether it’s answering an email or getting patients in the diary, there are plenty of systems for any start up or small business to use…

For example, Asana can help you with productivity and team management.

Don’t be afraid to use the technology available.

8) Use Your Plan

It may sound stupid… and I’m going to state the obvious but… use your business plan .

There is no use spending time writing an excellent business plan for it to sit in a draw and collect dust.

It will be a positive addition to the way your therapy clinic works.

The information in the plan will be your map to success, so use it…

Memorise it… Base your daily routine around it… And consult it to make sure you’re hitting targets…

It can become an issue in physical therapy practices when someone doesn’t understand their role… Make sure your employees and partners know your business plan…

If they know their goals and roles then you can create an effective working environment and a real community.

9) Update Your Plan

Running a business is fluid but your objectives should be concrete…

Stick to your objectives but as your practice grows, update your plan to fit…

Things will come up… so tweaking your plan along the way is worth your time and effort.

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re a start up or one of the bigger physical therapy practices, writing your business plan can get overwhelming…

Spending hours at the computer away from your clinic and your patients will get old… You’re in the rehab market, right? You should be treating patients? Well just remember…

Your business plan is a tool to get you where you want to be…

Once you have mastered your business plan, you can go on to master your private practice…

5 Elements of a Successful Physical Therapy Business Plan

Starting an outpatient PT practice? You're gonna need a business plan.

Get the latest news and tips directly in your inbox by subscribing to our monthly newsletter

Whether you’re in the process of starting your own business, or you’ve been in business for years now but just never got around to writing your business plan, this blog post is for you. Here, we’ve compiled some great information to help you put together this ultra-important document. But before we get into the details of a great business plan, let’s cover the basics:

What is a business plan?

A business plan is a formal document detailing everything about your business. Venture coach Stever Robbins writes in this article on Entrepreneur.com that a business plan includes “your value proposition, marketing assumptions, operations plan, financial plan, and staffing plan.” He also points out that your business plan drives the future of your organization, because it contains goals for all major areas: sales, expenses, hiring, and financing. “Once laid out,” he writes, “the targets become performance goals.” As such, your business plan will act as both:

• a baseline for monitoring your progress so you remain accountable, and
• a tool for “after-the-fact learning” if you perform better or worse than expected.

Who needs a business plan?

In short, anyone who is running a business should have a business plan—especially when working with investors, partners, or employees. According to another article on Entrepreneur.com , “…anybody beginning or extending a venture that will consume significant resources [money, energy, or time]…and that is expected to return a profit, should take the time to draft some kind of plan.”

What are the elements of a business plan?

Now, let’s dive into the specifics of your business plan. Keep in mind that, just as no two PT clinics are identical, business plans will differ from practice to practice. Furthermore, your business plan should be a living document that you can adapt as your practice grows and the market changes.

1. Executive Summary

In essence, the Executive Summary is a general overview of a practice’s purpose and goals—and it’s often the make-or-break section of a business plan. This section should clearly and succinctly describe how your practice plans to address patient health concerns while remaining profitable. It also works as a type of framework you can refer back to when developing the rest of your business plan. So, each element should be easy to expand on. If any part is fuzzy or unclear, it’ll make it difficult to hammer out later on down the line.

In the case of an outpatient physical therapy practice, this section should briefly summarize:

• what niche your clinic intends to fill ,
• the services your clinic will provide,
• how you intend to spread the word about your services , 
• the clinic’s growth potential, 
• competitive advantages, and
• overall funding requirements.

2. Objectives

Now it’s time to dig into the nitty-gritty. What does your practice actually do? And what are your goals? If your business is already up and running, you can probably outline your objectives and services pretty easily. But even if you’re a seasoned veteran, it can be exponentially more difficult to explain what you want to accomplish long term without putting your goals to paper. So, in this section, start by thinking about where your business is now versus where you want it to be later on down the line—as well as the action items necessary for realizing that growth. Here are a few questions this section should answer:

Who are you? 

Consider your clinic’s overarching purpose: are you focused on keeping athletes in top shape to help them perform their best? Or, are you more focused on raising awareness about health and wellness in a specific community? And what is your clinic’s treatment philosophy? Some practices may focus heavily on overall health and wellness, while others are intent on restoring function after injury.

What services will you offer?

No matter how you answer the questions above, the services you provide should align with your goals. For example, if you’re community-focused, services like employment health screenings are a great way to serve the population at large. Alternatively, fitness assessments and injury prevention services help athletes stay sharp and improve performance.

What is your patient market like?

The point of this section is to justify your goals by identifying who your audience is—and making sure you can easily reach your desired patient population.

Who is your competition? 

Look at the current market in your locale. Are there other practices in your area that focus on the same things that are important to you? This question is important, because:

• you don’t want to practice in an over-saturated market, and
• existing competitors will give you an idea of what works versus what doesn’t, which will be especially crucial once you start formulating your marketing strategy.

Also, performing a SWOT analysis will help you understand how you stack up to surrounding PT practices. This analysis includes everything from practice location and niche services to the payers you’re credentialed with.

Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?

Now, it’s time to get out your crystal ball and gaze into the future. (If you don’t have one handy, your imagination will do just fine.) Think about some tangible goals for your practice, such as:

• how large you want your practice to be (e.g., building square footage, number of locations, etc.);
• what community events you’d like to be involved in—or create yourself; and
• how many clinicians and front office staff you want on your team.

3. Marketing

While your goals and services are unquestionably important, how you plan to market your practice is just as crucial—if not more so. After all, your services will have little impact if your target audience doesn’t know you offer them. Ideally, you should break this section down into three smaller subsections:

The Message You Want to Deliver

Your ideal patients need to know who you are and what you’re about, so ponder what you want your messaging to communicate. The contents of this section are informed by:

• your practice’s strengths,
• the benefits of physical therapy versus other types of treatment,
• trends in physical therapy and wellness services, and
• how patients can access your services.

Who Your Ideal Patients Are

This section should talk about your target audience. It should explain:

• who your ideal patients are,
• what types of activities they engage in, 
• which services they’ll benefit from, and
• the types of marketing they engage with (e.g., social media, print, events, etc.).

How You’ll Deliver Your Message

Once you know who your target audience is and what message you want to communicate to them, research effective ways to engage with your audience. For example, social media marketing can be an effective tool for engaging with patients of all ages. However, some social platforms have a user base that skews towards the under-30 crowd (e.g., Twitter ), while other platforms tend to attract users over the age of 30 (e.g., Facebook ). Then there’s print marketing, which is a great way to market to people who are less likely to be on any social media platforms at all (e.g., people 65 and older). Remember, though, that you don’t want to make any assumptions about seniors and technology: depending on your specific audience, older patients may very well use digital platforms on a regular basis.

That’s why it’s important to do your due diligence and explore the varied ways in which your messaging reaches your intended audience. As we mentioned above, this also includes assessing your competitors’ marketing strategy, borrowing inspiration from similar practices, and filling any market gaps. Then, outline your marketing strategy for the next few years—while allowing some room for adjustment as the market changes. 

{{inline-form}}

4. Operations

Here’s where the rubber really meets the road. Understanding your day-to-day operations—as well as who’s in charge of what—can make or break your success in private practice. According to this article from Inc.com , your operations section should answer the following questions:

• “What facilities, equipment, and supplies do you need?
• What is your organizational structure? Who is responsible for which aspects of the business?
• Is research and development required, either during start up or as an ongoing operation? If so, how will you accomplish this task?
• What are your initial staffing needs? When and how will you add staff?
• How will you establish business relationships with vendors and suppliers? How will those relationships impact your day-to-day operations?
• How will your operations change as the company grows? What steps will you take to cut costs if the company initially does not perform up to expectations?”

I know, it’s a lot. However, if you’ve worked in a physical therapy practice before, then you should be able to answer a lot of these questions off the top of your head. As for the hypothetical questions, it’s best to glean some wisdom from your mentor or various owners of existing PT practices.

5. Financials

You can’t run a practice effectively without assessing the fiscal landscape, so you’ll need to dig into the dollars and cents as you pen your business plan. Start by laying out your initial start-up costs—as well as whether you plan to fund them through loans, grants, or savings—including:

• facility construction and renovations,
• building lease, and
• equipment and supplies.

Additionally, Inc.com advises that all business plans include—at the very least—the following five reports or projections:

• Balance Sheet (i.e., assets, shareholders, liabilities, and earnings to fund future growth)
• Income Statement (i.e., projected revenue and expenses)
• Cash Flow Statement (i.e., cash receipts and expense payments)
• Operating Budget (i.e., detailed breakdown of income and expenses)
• Break-Even Analysis (i.e., projection of revenue required to cover fixed and variable expenses) 

As a final note, it’s absolutely crucial that these numbers be as accurate as possible, so we definitely advise working with your accountant to pull it all together.

What you get with physiotherapy business plan package, i.- executive summary.

Due to the prevalence of back, neck, and joint pain among people living in the Baltimore area, it has become increasingly necessary to provide comprehensive physical therapy services. The traditional approach of visiting separate medical providers, often with multiple insurance claims, adds additional stress and complexity to an already difficult process.

Competition

Furthermore, we need these personnel to work together in a cohesive, energetic and skilled team to ensure the success of our physiotherapy business plan.

Personnel Plan

In order to run the physiotherapy business effectively, a personnel plan outlining the potential positions that will be required should be established.

Each milestone is designed to help us meet our business objectives, such as improving customer satisfaction, increasing market share, and reducing operating costs. We will be regularly reviewing the progress of these milestones to ensure that our business is operating as efficiently as possible.

Key Metrics

In order to gauge the overall performance and health of a physiotherapy business, it is important to track key performance indicators (KPIs) such as patient care quality metrics, financial performance metrics, patient satisfaction metrics, and operational efficiency metrics. These metrics can help you understand how your business is performing and pinpoint areas for improvement. Collecting and analyzing data from these KPIs provides insights that can be used to set appropriate business objectives, objectives that can help improve the quality of care provided and drive financial performance.

Measurement of KPIs can help ensure that the goals of the business are being met, and help identify areas for improvement. Examples of such KPIs include patient volume, average patient length of stay, patient satisfaction scores, and efficiency or cost metrics. Tracking these metrics allows the business to measure progress against goals and make critical decisions in a timely manner.

VI.- Financial Plan and Metrics

Sales forecast.

The sales forecast for the upcoming three years is estimated and given in the table below. The numbers present gross revenue for the business.

Physiotherapy Financial Plan Key Inputs

The expenses associated with starting and operating the physiotherapy business will involve both startup costs and operational expenses. This section outlines expected costs necessary to launch and run the business. A summary table is provided below.

Startup Costs

Operational expenses.

This part of the business plan is where you present the three main financial documents of any startup: the income statement, the cash flow statement, and the balance sheet. The income statement is a reflection of the expected revenues and expenses of the business. It will be used to project a net profit or loss for each period. The cash flow statement shows the business’s inflows and outflows of cash and is used to project a net cash balance. The balance sheet outlines the various accounts of the business and provides a picture of the business’s assets, liabilities and total equity at a specific point in time.

The financial plan should consider possible changes in the market conditions, current trends and anticipated losses throughout the course of business. It is important to note that financial planning is an ongoing process as the business evolves. Financial metrics, like break-even analysis, are incorporated into this plan in order to provide an informed basis to make informed decisions.

Physiotherapy Financial Plan Balance Sheet Statement

As the business grows, hiring personnel will be essential to meet customer demands. We intend to hire a team of physiotherapists/physiotherapist assistants, reception staff, and administrative staff to ensure our business runs smoothly. The compensation for each role will depend on the number of hours worked, experience, and qualifications. We will seek applicants with both the technical and soft skills necessary for success in these roles.

As the business starts to grow and develop, the team members will be responsible for helping to build out the necessary operations to support customer and employee needs. We will put in place comprehensive training and performance reviews and will ensure that excellent customer service is a priority for each and every employee.

Capital Requirements and Use of Funds

The capital requirements of the physiotherapy business plan should reflect the amount of money needed to raise to viable launch the business. This will include upfront costs such as premises, equipment, and staffing. It may also include working capital to cover the operating and monthly expenses while the business is being established.

How the capital is to be used should also be clearly defined. The plan should outline the business goals, objectives and performance metrics, including a breakdown of the initial and ongoing capital requirements. This information should be presented in such a way that investors or lenders can clearly assess the expected return on their investment.

Exit Strategy

Our plan for an eventual exit from our Physiotherapy business is to ultimately sell the business. We aim to maximize value upon sale to ensure we achieve the best price for the business. We will approach our exit strategy in two ways. Firstly, we will focus on building a customer base and nurturing customer relationships in order to demonstrate to potential buyers that the business is capable of sustaining consistent revenue streams. Secondly, we will focus on expanding our service offerings to demonstrate that the business is scaleable and can attract a larger customer base in the future.

Once a buyer approaches us with a suitable offer, we will enter into negotiations on a sale that meets our set parameters. We anticipate utilizing both legal and accounting professionals to ensure a safe and compliant sale process. Moreover, we understand the importance of preserving customer goodwill so we plan to implement a customer outreach program to facilitate a smooth transition of ownership.

Trends in the physical therapy industry include:

• Telehealth options have made their way into the physical therapy business, with more and more patients seeking virtual physical therapy consultations.
• Alternative treatment options such as holistic physical therapy, which means treating the mind, body, and spirit, are seeing increased demand. This means integrating meditation and yoga into treatment plans, boosting revenue potential. 

Challenges in the physical therapy industry include:

• Advancements in physical therapy techniques and practices make continuing education necessary for physical therapists.
• Regulations in the physical therapy industry, particularly in terms of electronic medical records keeping, are constantly changing, creating the need for physical therapists to keep up in order to stay compliant. 

Demand hotspots

• Least popular states – The least popular states for physical therapists are Florida, Arkansas, and Utah.

• Average level of education – The average physical therapist has a bachelor’s degree.
• Average age – The average physical therapist in the US is 41.1 years old.

How much does it cost to start a physical therapy clinic?

Startup costs for a physical therapy clinic range from $12,000 to $30,000. The main cost is renting and outfitting the clinic space. If you have more limited financing, you could cut costs by starting out as a mobile and virtual physical therapist, going to your clients and providing therapy online to build a reputation. This would save you $5,000 to $10,000 in startup costs, but you would only be able to take a limited amount of equipment to your patients’ homes.

Either way, you’ll need to obtain malpractice insurance. If you’re not a physical therapist, you can find information on becoming one through the American Physical Therapy Association . 

To practice as a physical therapist in the US, you must earn a doctor of physical therapy degree from a Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education-accredited physical therapist education program and pass a state licensure exam. Programs typically take three years, and most require a bachelor’s degree. 

You’ll need a handful of items to successfully launch your physical therapy business, including: 

• Treatment tables – wooden plinths
• Treatment tables – adjustable
• Adjustable height exercise steps  
• Step stools
• Therapist stools on wheels 
• Variety of bolsters, wedges, supports
• Mobilization belts and devices
• Various assistive devices
• Taping supplies
• Splinting materials
• Goniometers
• Tape measures
• Grip dynamometer
• Manual muscle testing dynamometer
• Reflex hammer
• Neurological testing instruments
• Blood pressure cuff
• Stethoscope
• Thermometer 
• Video analysis hardware & software
• FCE testing equipment or system

How much can you earn from a physical therapy business?

The average cost of a one-hour physical therapy session is $100. If you start with a small clinic working alone, your profit margin after rent and overhead should be about 50%.

In your first year or two, you might have 25 sessions per week, bringing in $130,000 in annual revenue. This would mean $65,000 in profit, assuming that 50% margin. As your business gains traction, your clinic might provide 80 sessions per week. At this stage, you’d hire staff, including other physical therapists, reducing your profit margin to around 20%. With annual revenue of $416,000, you’d make a healthy profit of nearly $84,000.

What barriers to entry are there?

There are a few barriers to entry for a physical therapy clinic. Your biggest challenges will be:

• Education and licensing
• Standing out into a competitive industry
• Getting credentialed with insurance companies

Step 2: hone your idea.

Now that you know what’s involved in starting a physical therapy clinic, it’s a good idea to hone your concept in preparation to enter a competitive market. 

Market research will give you the upper hand, even if you’re already positive that you have a perfect product or service. Conducting market research is important, because it can help you understand your customers better, who your competitors are, and your business landscape.

Why? Identify an opportunity

Research physical therapy clinics in your area to examine their services, price points, and customer reviews. You’re looking for a market gap to fill. For instance, maybe the local market is missing a sports medicine clinic, a clinic that also offers athletic training, or a clinic that provides electrical stimulation therapy. 

You might consider targeting a niche market by specializing in a certain aspect of your industry, such as treating shoulder pain or knee pain, or adding yoga and meditation therapy.

This could jumpstart your word-of-mouth marketing and attract clients right away. 

What? Determine your services

Your services will depend on what you decide to specialize in. They might include:

• Physical Therapy
• Manual Therapy and Modalities
• Pre and Post-operative Care
• Sports Rehabilitation
• Injury Screenings
• Dance Medicine Services
• Work Conditioning/Hardening
• Gait Analysis
• Balance Problem Treatments

How much should you charge for physical therapy services?

The average price of a one-hour physical therapy session is $100. After your costs of rent and overhead, you should aim for a profit margin of about 50% when you’re working by yourself. 

Once you know your costs, you can use this Step By Step profit margin calculator to determine your mark-up and final price points. Remember, the prices you use at launch should be subject to change if warranted by the market.

Who? Identify your target market

Your target market will be broad. You should spread out your marketing to include sites like TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. You should also try to partner with private practice physicians to get referrals. You can connect with them on LinkedIn or find them on Google or Yelp and call them directly. 

Where? Choose your clinic location

Unless you start out working from home, you’ll need to rent out a space for your clinic. Look for a spot in a central and convenient area, such as a medical district or a busy commercial area.

Depending on the type of physical therapy clinic you plan to start, you may also want to consider the proximity to complementary businesses, such as chiropractors or orthopedic clinics.

By strategically choosing the right location, you can establish a profitable and successful physical therapy clinic that provides high-quality healthcare services to patients and stands out from competitors.

You can find commercial space to rent in your area on sites such as Craigslist , Crexi , and Instant Offices .

When choosing a commercial space, you may want to follow these rules of thumb:

• Central location accessible via public transport
• Ventilated and spacious, with good natural light
• Flexible lease that can be extended as your business grows
• Ready-to-use space with no major renovations or repairs needed

Step 3: Brainstorm a Physical Therapy Clinic Name

Your business name is your business identity, so choose one that encapsulates your objectives, services, and mission in just a few words. You probably want a name that’s short and easy to remember, since much of your business, and your initial business in particular, will come from word-of-mouth referrals.

Here are some ideas for brainstorming your business name:

• Short, unique, and catchy names tend to stand out
• Names that are easy to say and spell tend to do better 
• Name should be relevant to your product or service offerings
• Ask around — family, friends, colleagues, social media — for suggestions
• Including keywords, such as “physical therapy”, boosts SEO
• Name should allow for expansion, for ex: “CoreFit Physical Therapy” over “Pediatric Physical Therapy Center”
• Avoid location-based names that might hinder future expansion
• Use online tools like the Step by Step Business Name Generator . Just type in a few keywords and hit “generate” and you’ll have dozens of suggestions at your fingertips.

Once you’ve got a list of potential names, visit the website of the US Patent and Trademark Office to make sure they are available for registration and check the availability of related domain names using our Domain Name Search tool. Using “.com” or “.org” sharply increases credibility, so it’s best to focus on these. 

Find a Domain

Powered by GoDaddy.com

Finally, make your choice among the names that pass this screening and go ahead with domain registration and social media account creation. Your business name is one of the key differentiators that sets your business apart. Once you pick your company name, and start with the branding, it is hard to change the business name. Therefore, it’s important to carefully consider your choice before you start a business entity.

Step 4: Create a Physical Therapy Clinic Business Plan

Every business needs a plan. This will function as a guidebook to take your startup through the launch process and maintain focus on your key goals. A business plan also enables potential partners and investors to better understand your company and its vision:

• Executive Summary: A brief overview highlighting the main points of the physical therapy clinic business plan, summarizing its key objectives and strategies.
• Business Overview: A concise description of the physical therapy clinic, outlining its mission, vision, and the problem it aims to address in the healthcare industry.
• Product and Services: Clear details about the specific physical therapy services offered, emphasizing the clinic’s unique selling points and any additional wellness services provided.
• Market Analysis: An examination of the target market, including demographics, trends, and potential demand for physical therapy services in the clinic’s geographic area.
• Competitive Analysis: A review of competitors in the local market, analyzing their strengths and weaknesses to position the physical therapy clinic effectively.
• Sales and Marketing: Strategies for attracting and retaining clients, encompassing promotional activities, advertising, and any partnerships to enhance the clinic’s visibility.
• Management Team: Profiles of key individuals leading the physical therapy clinic, emphasizing their qualifications and expertise in healthcare and business management.
• Operations Plan: Detailed information on day-to-day clinic operations, including staff roles, facility requirements, and technological tools employed to optimize efficiency.
• Financial Plan: A comprehensive overview of the clinic’s financial projections, including startup costs, revenue forecasts, and a break-even analysis, demonstrating the business’s financial viability.
• Appendix: Supplementary materials, such as resumes of key team members, additional financial data, and any supporting documents that provide further context for the business plan.

If you’ve never created a business plan, it can be an intimidating task. You might consider hiring a business plan specialist to create a top-notch business plan for you.

Step 5: Register Your Business

Registering your business is an absolutely crucial step — it’s the prerequisite to paying taxes, raising capital, opening a bank account, and other guideposts on the road to getting a business up and running.

Plus, registration is exciting because it makes the entire process official. Once it’s complete, you’ll have your own business! 

Choose where to register your company

Your business location is important because it can affect taxes, legal requirements, and revenue. Most people will register their business in the state where they live, but if you’re planning to expand, you might consider looking elsewhere, as some states could offer real advantages when it comes to physical therapy clinics. 

If you’re willing to move, you could really maximize your business! Keep in mind, it’s relatively easy to transfer your business to another state. 

Choose your business structure

Business entities come in several varieties, each with its pros and cons. The legal structure you choose for your physical therapy clinic will shape your taxes, personal liability, and business registration requirements, so choose wisely. 

Here are the main options:

• Sole Proprietorship – The most common structure for small businesses makes no legal distinction between company and owner. All income goes to the owner, who’s also liable for any debts, losses, or liabilities incurred by the business. The owner pays taxes on business income on his or her personal tax return.
• General Partnership – Similar to a sole proprietorship, but for two or more people. Again, owners keep the profits and are liable for losses. The partners pay taxes on their share of business income on their personal tax returns.
• Limited Liability Company (LLC) – Combines the characteristics of corporations with those of sole proprietorships or partnerships. Again, the owners are not personally liable for debts.
• C Corp – Under this structure, the business is a distinct legal entity and the owner or owners are not personally liable for its debts. Owners take profits through shareholder dividends, rather than directly. The corporation pays taxes, and owners pay taxes on their dividends, which is sometimes referred to as double taxation.
• S Corp – An S-Corporation refers to the tax classification of the business but is not a business entity. An S-Corp can be either a corporation or an LLC , which just need to elect to be an S-Corp for tax status. In an S-Corp, income is passed through directly to shareholders, who pay taxes on their share of business income on their personal tax returns.

We recommend that new business owners choose LLC as it offers liability protection and pass-through taxation while being simpler to form than a corporation. You can form an LLC in as little as five minutes using an online LLC formation service. They will check that your business name is available before filing, submit your articles of organization , and answer any questions you might have.

Step 6: Register for Taxes

The final step before you’re able to pay taxes is getting an Employer Identification Number , or EIN. You can file for your EIN online or by mail or fax: visit the IRS website to learn more. Keep in mind, if you’ve chosen to be a sole proprietorship you can simply use your social security number as your EIN. 

Once you have your EIN, you’ll need to choose your tax year. Financially speaking, your business will operate in a calendar year (January–December) or a fiscal year, a 12-month period that can start in any month. This will determine your tax cycle, while your business structure will determine which taxes you’ll pay.

The IRS website also offers a tax-payers checklist , and taxes can be filed online.

It is important to consult an accountant or other professional to help you with your taxes to ensure you’re completing them correctly.

Step 7: Fund your Business

Securing financing is your next step and there are plenty of ways to raise capital:

• Bank loans: This is the most common method but getting approved requires a rock-solid business plan and strong credit history.
• SBA-guaranteed loans: The Small Business Administration can act as guarantor, helping gain that elusive bank approval via an SBA-guaranteed loan .
• Government grants: A handful of financial assistance programs help fund entrepreneurs. Visit Grants.gov to learn which might work for you.
• Friends and Family: Reach out to friends and family to provide a business loan or investment in your concept. It’s a good idea to have legal advice when doing so because SEC regulations apply.
• Crowdfunding: Websites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo offer an increasingly popular low-risk option, in which donors fund your vision. Entrepreneurial crowdfunding sites like Fundable and WeFunder enable multiple investors to fund your business.
• Personal: Self-fund your business via your savings or the sale of property or other assets.

Bank and SBA loans are probably the best option, other than friends and family, for funding a physical therapy business. You might also try crowdfunding if you have an innovative concept. 

Step 8: Apply for Physical Therapy Clinic Business Licenses and Permits

Starting a physical therapy business requires obtaining a number of licenses and permits from local, state, and federal governments.

You will need to be a licensed physical therapist in your state. Check with your state for requirements. To get credentialed by insurance companies you will need:

• Malpractice insurance
• A National Provider Identifier (NPI)

Federal regulations, licenses, and permits associated with starting your business include doing business as (DBA), health licenses and permits from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration ( OSHA ), trademarks, copyrights, patents, and other intellectual properties, as well as industry-specific licenses and permits. 

You may also need state-level and local county or city-based licenses and permits. The license requirements and how to obtain them vary, so check the websites of your state, city, and county governments or contact the appropriate person to learn more. 

You could also check this SBA guide for your state’s requirements, but we recommend using MyCorporation’s Business License Compliance Package . They will research the exact forms you need for your business and state and provide them to ensure you’re fully compliant.

This is not a step to be taken lightly, as failing to comply with legal requirements can result in hefty penalties.

If you feel overwhelmed by this step or don’t know how to begin, it might be a good idea to hire a professional to help you check all the legal boxes.

Step 9: Open a Business Bank Account

Before you start making money, you’ll need a place to keep it, and that requires opening a bank account .

Keeping your business finances separate from your personal account makes it easy to file taxes and track your company’s income, so it’s worth doing even if you’re running your physical therapy business as a sole proprietorship. Opening a business bank account is quite simple, and similar to opening a personal one. Most major banks offer accounts tailored for businesses — just inquire at your preferred bank to learn about their rates and features.

Banks vary in terms of offerings, so it’s a good idea to examine your options and select the best plan for you. Once you choose your bank, bring in your EIN (or Social Security Number if you decide on a sole proprietorship), articles of incorporation, and other legal documents and open your new account. 

Step 10: Get Business Insurance

Business insurance is an area that often gets overlooked yet it can be vital to your success as an entrepreneur. Insurance protects you from unexpected events that can have a devastating impact on your business.

Here are some types of insurance to consider:

• General liability: The most comprehensive type of insurance, acting as a catch-all for many business elements that require coverage. If you get just one kind of insurance, this is it. It even protects against bodily injury and property damage.
• Business Property: Provides coverage for your equipment and supplies.
• Equipment Breakdown Insurance: Covers the cost of replacing or repairing equipment that has broken due to mechanical issues.
• Worker’s compensation: Provides compensation to employees injured on the job.
• Property: Covers your physical space, whether it is a cart, storefront, or office.
• Commercial auto: Protection for your company-owned vehicle.
• Professional liability: Protects against claims from a client who says they suffered a loss due to an error or omission in your work.
• Business owner’s policy (BOP): This is an insurance plan that acts as an all-in-one insurance policy, a combination of the above insurance types.

For a physical therapy business, you’ll also need to obtain malpractice insurance. 

Step 11: Prepare to Launch

As opening day nears, prepare for launch by reviewing and improving some key elements of your business. 

Essential software and tools

Being an entrepreneur often means wearing many hats, from marketing to sales to accounting, which can be overwhelming. Fortunately, many websites and digital tools are available to help simplify many business tasks. 

You may want to use industry-specific software, such as Kareo , WebPT , or MWTherapy , to manage your scheduling, record keeping, billing, and payments. 

• Popular web-based accounting programs for smaller businesses include Quickbooks , Freshbooks , and Xero . 
• If you’re unfamiliar with basic accounting, you may want to hire a professional, especially as you begin. The consequences for filing incorrect tax documents can be harsh, so accuracy is crucial. 

Develop your website

Website development is crucial because your site is your online presence and needs to convince prospective clients of your expertise and professionalism.

You can create your own website using services like WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace . This route is very affordable, but figuring out how to build a website can be time-consuming. If you lack tech-savvy, you can hire a web designer or developer to create a custom website for your business.

They are unlikely to find your website, however, unless you follow Search Engine Optimization ( SEO ) practices. These are steps that help pages rank higher in the results of top search engines like Google. 

Starting a Physical Therapy Clinic is a commendable venture, and successful marketing is crucial for attracting clients. Here are some concise and effective strategies to boost your clinic’s visibility and attract new clients:

• Community Partnerships: Forge partnerships with local gyms, sports clubs, and wellness centers to offer exclusive discounts or collaborative events, creating a win-win situation for both parties and expanding your reach.
• Educational Workshops: Host free workshops on common health issues, injury prevention, and rehabilitation techniques in collaboration with local community centers or businesses to position your clinic as an authoritative and trusted source.
• Referral Programs: Implement a referral program that rewards existing clients, physicians, and other healthcare professionals for referring new patients to your clinic, fostering a network of advocates for your services.
• Testimonials and Case Studies: Highlight success stories and positive outcomes through testimonials and case studies, showcasing real experiences to build credibility and instill confidence in potential clients.
• Social Media Engagement: Leverage social media platforms to share educational content, success stories, and behind-the-scenes glimpses, engaging with your audience and creating a personable online presence.
• Local Event Sponsorship: Sponsor local events, sports teams, or health-related gatherings to increase brand visibility, demonstrating your commitment to community well-being.
• Loyalty Programs: Implement loyalty programs that offer discounts or additional services for returning clients, encouraging repeat business and fostering long-term relationships.
• Online Reviews Management: Encourage satisfied clients to leave positive reviews on popular review sites, actively manage your online reputation, and respond promptly to both positive and negative feedback.
• Targeted Direct Mail Campaigns: Send targeted direct mail campaigns to local neighborhoods, emphasizing the benefits of physical therapy and offering exclusive promotions to drive new client acquisition.
• Corporate Wellness Programs: Reach out to local businesses to offer on-site wellness programs, including ergonomic assessments and injury prevention workshops, fostering employee well-being and generating business leads.

Focus on USPs

Unique selling propositions, or USPs, are the characteristics of a product or service that set it apart from the competition. Customers today are inundated with buying options, so you’ll have a real advantage if they are able to quickly grasp how your physical therapy clinic meets their needs or wishes. It’s wise to do all you can to ensure your USPs stand out on your website and in your marketing and promotional materials, stimulating buyer desire. 

Global pizza chain Domino’s is renowned for its USP: “Hot pizza in 30 minutes or less, guaranteed.” Signature USPs for your physical therapy business could be: 

• Smart sports therapy to get you back in the game
• Our holistic therapy heals mind, body, and soul 
• Soothe your pain with advanced physical therapy techniques

You may not like to network or use personal connections for business gain. But your personal and professional networks likely offer considerable untapped business potential. Maybe that Facebook friend you met in college is now running a physical therapy business, or a LinkedIn contact of yours is connected to dozens of potential clients. Maybe your cousin or neighbor has been working in physical therapy for years and can offer invaluable insight and industry connections. 

The possibilities are endless, so it’s a good idea to review your personal and professional networks and reach out to those with possible links to or interest in physical therapy. You’ll probably generate new customers or find companies with which you could establish a partnership. 

Step 12: Build Your Team

If you’re starting out small from a home office, you may not need any employees. But as your business grows, you will likely need workers to fill various roles. Potential positions for a physical therapy business include:

• Receptionist – patient check-ins, book appointments, customer service
• Physical Therapists – provide physical therapy services
• General Manager – staff management, accounting
• Marketing Lead – SEO strategies, social media

At some point, you may need to hire all of these positions or simply a few, depending on the size and needs of your business. You might also hire multiple workers for a single role or a single worker for multiple roles, again depending on need. 

Free-of-charge methods to recruit employees include posting ads on popular platforms such as LinkedIn, Facebook, or Jobs.com. You might also consider a premium recruitment option, such as advertising on Indeed , Glassdoor , or ZipRecruiter . Further, if you have the resources, you could consider hiring a recruitment agency to help you find talent. 

Step 13: Run a Physical Therapy Clinic – Start Making Money!

Physical therapy is experiencing strong growth as the population ages, which means this is a great opportunity to help people every day and make a good living at the same time. If you have yet to complete your physical therapy education, doing so will be well worth your time and money, as it will enable you to follow your passion and provide an invaluable service. 

You’ve gained the required business knowledge, now it’s time to get your successful physical therapy clinic up and running!

• Physical Therapy Business FAQs

Yes, a physical therapy business can be profitable, but more importantly, it can be very rewarding. You’ll be helping people live better lives with less pain. But it’s crucial to provide quality service and treatment.

You can find information on becoming one through the American Physical Therapy Association . To practice as a physical therapist in the U.S., you must earn a doctor of physical therapy degree from an accredited program and pass a licensing exam. Programs typically take three years, and most require a bachelor’s degree.

Collaborate with local healthcare professionals and community organizations to build referrals. Offer educational content and resources on your website to establish credibility and attract patients seeking information.

Physical therapists tend to earn higher salaries in settings such as outpatient clinics, hospitals, and skilled nursing facilities. Geographic location can also influence earning potential, with areas that have a higher cost of living often offering higher salaries. 

To differentiate your physical therapy clinic from competitors, emphasize unique aspects such as specialized treatment techniques, cutting-edge technology, or niche services. Focus on exceptional patient care, personalized treatment plans, and a warm and welcoming clinic environment.

Common types of physical therapy treatments include manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, balance and gait training, electrical stimulation, ultrasound, heat and cold therapy, and patient education on injury prevention and self-care techniques.

Here is a free business plan sample for a therapy practice.

If you're passionate about helping others and want to start your own therapy practice, but feel uncertain about the first steps, this is the place for you.

In the content that follows, we will present you with a comprehensive sample business plan tailored for a therapy practice.

As you may already understand, a thoughtfully constructed business plan is a cornerstone of success for any professional in the field of therapy, as it assists you in articulating your mission, objectives, and approach for your practice.

To craft a robust plan with clarity and precision, you are welcome to utilize our therapist business plan template. Additionally, our specialists are available to offer a complimentary review and refinement of your plan.

How to draft a great business plan for your therapy practice?

A good business plan for a therapy practice must reflect the unique aspects of mental health and wellness services.

To start, it is crucial to provide a comprehensive overview of the therapy market. This includes current statistics and identifying emerging trends in mental health, as illustrated in our therapy practice business plan template .

Then, you should articulate your practice's mission clearly. This encompasses your therapeutic approach, defining your target clientele (such as individuals, couples, families, or specific demographics), and your practice's distinctive services (cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, etc.).

The next section should delve into market analysis. This requires a thorough understanding of local demand, competitor services, and potential gaps in the market that your practice could fill.

For a therapy practice, it is vital to detail the services you plan to offer. Describe your range of therapeutic modalities - individual therapy, group sessions, workshops - and explain how they cater to the needs and challenges of your target clients.

The operational plan is equally important. It should outline the location of your practice, the setup of your therapy rooms, administrative processes, and client management systems.

In a therapy practice, it is essential to emphasize the qualifications and credentials of the therapists, confidentiality policies, and adherence to professional ethical standards.

Then, address your marketing and outreach strategy. How will you engage and retain clients? Consider referral networks, community involvement, and online marketing strategies.

Having a digital presence, such as a professional website or social media engagement, is also crucial in the modern healthcare landscape.

The financial structure is another critical component. This includes the initial investment, projected income, operating expenses, and the point at which the practice becomes profitable.

In a therapy practice, understanding the nuances of insurance billing, private pay, and sliding scale fees is important for accurate financial planning. For assistance, you can refer to our financial forecast for a therapy practice .

Compared to other business plans, a therapy practice must pay special attention to client confidentiality, ongoing professional development, and the potential for offering teletherapy services.

A well-crafted business plan will not only help you clarify your vision and strategies but also attract investors or secure loans.

Lenders and investors are looking for a solid understanding of the market, realistic financial projections, and a clear plan for client care and practice management.

By presenting a thorough and substantiated plan, you demonstrate your professionalism and dedication to the success of your therapy practice.

To achieve these goals while saving time, feel free to complete our therapy practice business plan template .

A free example of business plan for a therapy practice

Here, we will provide a concise and illustrative example of a business plan for a specific project.

This example aims to provide an overview of the essential components of a business plan. It is important to note that this version is only a summary. As it stands, this business plan is not sufficiently developed to support a profitability strategy or convince a bank to provide financing.

To be effective, the business plan should be significantly more detailed, including up-to-date market data, more persuasive arguments, a thorough market study, a three-year action plan, as well as detailed financial tables such as a projected income statement, projected balance sheet, cash flow budget, and break-even analysis.

All these elements have been thoroughly included by our experts in the business plan template they have designed for a therapist .

Here, we will follow the same structure as in our business plan template.

Market Opportunity

Market data and figures.

The therapy and mental health services market is experiencing a significant growth phase, reflecting the increasing awareness and acceptance of mental health issues.

Recent estimates suggest that the global market for mental health services could be worth over $200 billion, with expectations for continued growth as more individuals seek professional help for mental health concerns.

In the United States alone, there are over 500,000 practicing therapists, contributing to an industry that generates substantial revenue and plays a critical role in the health and well-being of the population.

These statistics underscore the vital presence of therapy services in American healthcare and their substantial economic impact.

Current trends in the mental health field indicate a move towards more personalized and accessible care.

Teletherapy and online counseling platforms are expanding rapidly, providing clients with the convenience of receiving therapy from the comfort of their own homes.

There is also a growing emphasis on holistic and integrative approaches, combining traditional therapy with complementary practices like mindfulness, yoga, and nutrition.

Mental health apps and digital tools for self-management are becoming increasingly popular, supporting individuals in their mental health journeys.

Moreover, destigmatization campaigns and mental health advocacy are promoting open discussions about mental health, encouraging more people to seek help.

These trends highlight the evolving landscape of mental health services, aiming to meet the diverse needs and preferences of modern clients.

Success Factors

The success of a therapy practice hinges on several critical elements.

First and foremost, the quality of care and the therapist's expertise are paramount. Clients who experience meaningful progress and empathetic support are more likely to continue therapy and refer others.

Innovation in therapy techniques and the therapist's ability to specialize in certain areas, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy or trauma-informed care, can also distinguish a practice in a crowded field.

The location and ambiance of the practice can affect accessibility and comfort, influencing a client's choice of therapist.

Exceptional interpersonal skills and the ability to build trust are essential for fostering a therapeutic alliance and ensuring client retention.

Start Your Physical Therapy Clinic Using MEG’s Strategic Business Plan Method

• MEG Business
• September 6, 2023

You started your own physical therapy clinic to regain your time and your freedom. However, many new clinic owners experience burnout and exhaustion instead.

Why is this phenomenon so common? 

Because most clinic owners don’t start with a strategic business plan. Like any business, success relies heavily on a business plan with actionable goals. With our 25+ years of experience working in the private practice industry, we’ll guide you step-by-step on how to develop a strategic business plan tailored to new PT clinic owners.

The Importance of a Strategic Business Plan

The healthcare sector, especially private practices, thrives on predictability and stability. Without a structured business plan, PT clinics can easily get off course, chasing after every new idea or trend without a clear direction. This often results in wasted resources and exhausted owners.

As the owner of your PT practice, you should be focused on patient care experience and the clinic culture. In the beginning, many clinic owners make the mistake of managing the administrative side of their clinic themselves even though medical billing , credentialing and front desk management are often extremely time consuming to learn and execute correctly. That’s why the progressive PT clinic model outsources the day-to-day tasks whenever possible.

8 Steps to Build a Strategic Business Plan for Your Physical Therapy Clinic

1. defining your vision and mission statement.

When establishing your clinic, it’s essential to begin with a clear vision and mission statement that defines its core identity. Your vision should encapsulate where you see your clinic in the next 5, 10 or even 15 years, whether that’s in terms of its growth, the range of services offered, or its standing in the community. 

Concurrently, your mission statement provides a grounding foundation, detailing the reasons you embarked on this journey of starting a clinic (i.e. your “why”) and emphasizing the fundamental principles that will navigate its daily operations and culture. Together, these elements convey what you want your clinic to represent both now and in the future.

2. Conduct Local Research and Competitor Analysis

A comprehensive market analysis is crucial for the success of your clinic. To effectively cater to your patients, it’s important to identify your primary audience, taking into account local demographics. For example, if your clinic is located next to a college campus, you may want to focus marketing towards 18-25 year old students.

You will also need to analyze the competitive landscape. By examining other PT clinics in the area, you can gauge their strengths and weaknesses, allowing you to understand the landscape of services offered and the prevailing price points. This combined insight ensures that your clinic is not only patient-centric but also competitively positioned within the market.

3. Determine Services and Pricing

Informed by a comprehensive market analysis, it’s pivotal to identify the suite of services your clinic will offer. Clearly define the specific therapies and treatments you’ll specialize in, ensuring they align with the needs and preferences of your target audience.

As you craft your pricing strategy, consider MEG’s recommendation of ensuring that at least 20% of your services are cash-based . This progressive PT model is not just an innovative approach but a proactive step towards combating the decreased reimbursements that the industry is grappling with. 

The overarching goal of your pricing strategy should be to achieve a balance: it needs to be competitive within the marketplace while also guaranteeing profitability. Set prices that sufficiently cover your operational expenses and resonate with the prevailing market rates, allowing your clinic to maintain both its accessibility and fiscal health.

4. Build Your Operational Blueprint

In crafting the operational blueprint for your PT clinic, consider the logistics that form its backbone. In your blueprint, you’ll need to detail the necessary equipment and technological tools, from therapy equipment to software solutions for appointment scheduling and record-keeping. This is vital to ensuring smooth day-to-day operations. 

When considering your blueprint, it’s also essential to define the number of staff and clinician roles. How many therapists will you need? What will their responsibilities and expectations be? Will you have PT assistants or front desk staff?

In the progressive PT model, there’s a growing emphasis on streamlining operations and staffing. One way to achieve this is by outsourcing administrative tasks, such as using a virtual front desk or offloading billing responsibilities to a third party . This approach ensures that your clinic remains compliant with industry regulations and allows you to operate with peace of mind. 

5. Create a Marketing and Outreach Plan

Understanding your audience is the cornerstone of any successful marketing strategy. After pinpointing your target demographic, it’s vital to delve deeper and craft an ideal client persona. This persona should encompass not just their challenges or ailments but also their lifestyle. Do they play a sport or are they more sedentary? What kind of injuries do they experience? Which social media channels do they use most frequently? The more specific you are with your ideal client persona, the better your marketing strategy.  

But identifying your audience is just one facet; generating awareness is equally critical. Start by building a strong brand identity—this includes choosing a resonant clinic name, designing a clear website and adopting a consistent theme that aligns with your clinic’s mission and vision. 

From there, diversify your promotional strategies. Whether it’s through digital marketing campaigns or in-person outreach, create a plan that will resonate with your audience and forge a relationship with them. One of the best ways to open this channel of communication with your clients is by creating a 1-3 minute introductory video about your clinic which can be used on your homepage or in email communication. You can also partner with local doctors and host educational events so that your clinic gains recognition within your community.

6. Budget with a Strategic Financial Plan

Navigating the financial aspects of your clinic requires a different mindset than managing personal finances. It’s essential to desensitize yourself to the money, viewing it objectively to ensure the fiscal health and sustainability of your clinic. As you lay out the financial blueprint, begin by itemizing startup costs. This encompasses everything from initial licensing fees to equipment purchases and securing the perfect location. 

When you first start your clinic, you should forecast your revenue projections in three week increments and always factor in the potential seasonal variations that could affect patient turnout. Additionally, a critical milestone in any business venture is the break-even point. Dedicate time to calculate when you anticipate your clinic to shift from operating at a loss to generating a profit. This provides not just a financial but also a motivational benchmark, marking the transition from startup challenges to sustainable success.

7. Consider Potential Challenges and Solutions

Foreseeing potential challenges is an integral part of strategic planning for your clinic. Effective risk management entails identifying probable setbacks that your business might encounter. 

For instance, a new legislative change may introduce stricter licensing requirements for PT clinics or an increase in insurance paperwork. Alternatively, the sudden emergence of several new clinics in your vicinity can lead to heightened local competition, potentially diluting your patient base. 

For each potential hurdle, it’s imperative to have contingency plans in place. In the face of stricter licensing, for example, ensure you have resources dedicated to staying updated with changing regulations and that you allocate time and budget for potential additional training or certifications. If local competition spikes, a contingency plan could involve ramping up marketing efforts or introducing a differentiating technology like HRV or the NEUBIE . By proactively preparing for such scenarios, clinic owners can navigate these obstacles more effectively.

8. Develop Strategic Goals and Key Performance Indicators

Success in your PT clinic is tethered to a clear set of goals and the ability to track progress toward achieving them. An essential aspect of this is understanding the timeframe in which you’re setting these objectives: monthly targets, quarterly objectives and yearly goals.

Start with the end in mind. If you envision your clinic handling “15 evaluations per week” by the end of the year, work backwards from that vision. This might mean setting an initial goal of “5 evaluations per week” in the first few months and then ramping up to “10 evaluations per week” by mid-year. Each of these milestones becomes a clear, quantifiable target, giving your clinic a roadmap for growth. 

Every action, decision and strategy in your business plan should inherently drive towards achieving these targets. It’s essential that your staff doesn’t just know about these goals, but truly understands them. They need to see the bigger picture of where the clinic is headed, how their role fits into this vision, and the concrete steps needed to get there.

And this brings us to KPIs, or Key Performance Indicators. These are the measurable values that demonstrate how effectively your clinic is achieving key business objectives. By setting a working timeline of KPIs – from patient acquisition rates to retention percentages, or even customer satisfaction scores – you gain real-time insight into your clinic’s operations. This data-driven approach helps fine-tune strategies, identify potential pitfalls, and positions your clinic for the highest viability.

Remember, it’s not just about reaching your end goal; it’s about ensuring each step taken is intentional, measurable and in line with your overarching vision.

Set Your Clinic Up For Success with MEG Business

Starting your PT clinic with a well-structured business plan isn’t just a formula for financial success; it’s a blueprint for long-term satisfaction and reduced burnout. It gives direction, fosters growth and ensures that your passion for physical therapy translates into a thriving, resilient practice. Remember, as the adage goes: “Fail to plan, and you plan to fail.”

Our cumulative net cash flow will reach $525,000 by the end of the third year, indicating the clinic's financially stable position. These projections are based on our anticipated revenue streams and cost structure.

Projected Balance Sheet

Here is the projected Balance Sheet for our Fee-for-Service Physiotherapy Clinic for the next three years:

As you can see, we anticipate our assets increasing each year as our business grows. Our liabilities will also increase as we expand our services, but we expect our equity to increase at a higher rate, resulting in a profitable and stable business.

Our physiotherapy clinic will be staffed with licensed and experienced physiotherapists. Initially, we plan to hire two full-time physiotherapists and one receptionist. As the business grows, we may hire additional staff to meet demand.

The physiotherapists will receive a competitive salary based on their experience and qualifications. We also plan to offer performance-based incentives to motivate and retain staff. The receptionist will receive a competitive hourly wage and may also receive bonuses based on customer satisfaction ratings.

Our employees will be integral to our business operations. The physiotherapists will provide personalized treatment plans for each patient, and the receptionist will handle scheduling and insurance billing. We will provide ongoing training to our employees to ensure that they are up to date with the latest industry trends and techniques.

Use of Funds

Below is an overview of how the initial investment of $500,000 will be used:

We are confident that this investment will provide us with the resources we need to launch and operate a successful fee-for-service physiotherapy clinic in Myrtle Beach.

Exit Strategy

While our main focus will be on growing and expanding our physiotherapy clinic, we do have an exit strategy in place. At this point, our plan includes the potential for acquisition by a larger healthcare organization or selling to another interested party. If the opportunity presents itself, we may also consider passing the business along to a capable family member or employee who shares our passion for providing top-quality physiotherapy services.

We believe that our commitment to exceptional customer service, personalized treatment plans, and accepted insurance coverage will make our business an attractive opportunity for potential buyers or successors.
