Where PT clinics see the dips

Physical therapy volume is rarely flat across the year. Many clinics notice patients postponing care when deductibles reset in January, cancellations climbing during holiday weeks, and summer travel thinning the schedule. Sports-focused practices may see the opposite pattern, quieter between seasons. Meanwhile rent, equipment leases, software and salaried staff keep costing the same every month.

Slow-season funding for physical therapy lets you carry fixed costs through the quiet stretch so you do not cut hours for therapists you will need again soon.

Ways clinics use a slow stretch

A quiet period can also be useful time. Some owners use funding to:

How we look at seasonal deposits

We review about three months of business bank statements. If those months include part of your slow season, that is normal; what we look for is a consistent pattern of insurance and patient deposits and a clear picture of your existing payments. The 5-minute application begins with a soft credit pull, FICO from 500 is considered, sole proprietors can apply, and tax returns are not required.

Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000, based mainly on deposits and existing obligations.

It also helps to note in your application when your quiet months usually fall, so the deposit pattern is easy to read.

Pick a product that bends with volume

Revenue-based financing ties payments to your incoming revenue, which some clinics prefer during uneven months. A line of credit works if you want to draw only in the slowest weeks. Either way, the full repayment amount and schedule are shown in your offer before you accept.

Plan ahead of the next dip and apply in about 5 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a slow month in my statements hurt my application?

Seasonal dips are common in physical therapy. We look at the overall pattern of deposits and your existing obligations, not one quiet month in isolation.

Can I use slow-season funding for marketing to referral sources?

Yes. Physician outreach, digital marketing and community events are reasonable uses alongside rent and payroll.

Which product works best for seasonal clinics?

It depends on your pattern. Revenue-based financing follows revenue, while a line of credit lets you draw only when needed.

Do you require tax returns?

No. About three months of business bank statements and a short application are the core of our review.

How soon could I be funded?

Decisions move fast, with funding in as little as 24 hours for qualified clinics.

Can a solo or mobile physical therapist apply for slow-season funding?

Yes. Sole proprietors can apply, including cash-based, in-home and mobile PT practices. We review your business bank deposits the same way we do for a multi-therapist clinic, and the amount depends mainly on deposits and existing obligations.

How to improve your chances

A few moves make seasonal funding easier to get and to repay.

  • Chart your visit counts by month to spot the dip early
  • Apply before the slow season, not in the middle of it
  • Keep patient and payer deposits in one account
  • Trim costs you can pause without losing staff
