What this means if you’re starting one

Cash is tight in this trade

At year end the typical physiotherapy or therapy clinic company in Glasgow holds £21,962 in cash and owes £11,243; that cash figure is lower than 81% of UK industries.

Typical operators end the year holding less cash than they owe, so there is little slack if takings dip or a big bill lands early.

You can start without much equipment

The typical physiotherapy or therapy clinic company in Glasgow carries £6,773 of equipment and other fixed assets after depreciation, lower than 87% of UK industries.

Most of the cost of entry is time and running costs rather than kit, so a small test is cheap.

Most of these businesses are run by one or two people

The typical physiotherapy or therapy clinic company in Glasgow reports 1 employee; the top quarter has 2 or more (610 filings).

You are mostly up against owner-operators. Your own hours are likely to be your biggest cost, and the easiest one to undercount.

What these figures can’t tell you

Companies are counted where their registered office is, which may be an accountant or a home address rather than a shop. Sole traders and partnerships are not on the register, and electronically filed accounts cover roughly 60–75% of accounts filed each year. The figures describe companies that exist; they cannot prove demand for your idea or predict whether it will work. How the figures are built.
