Industry Qualification

Physical Therapy Practices: yes, this industry is eligible.

Physical Therapy Practices fall under an eligible industry classification (Offices of Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapists). Therapy practices depend on insurance reimbursements and visit volume, and the review reads how those combine in the business account.

Why physical therapy practices qualify

PT, OT and speech practices bill insurers per visit, collect copays and cash-pay sessions, and some receive workers' compensation and personal-injury payments.

Funding is usually used for therapy equipment, a new clinic location, therapist hiring, or carrying payroll while claims are processed.

Average daily balance

Insurance remits arrive in batches; averaging about a tenth of monthly revenue in the balance shows payroll is covered between them. ADB explained →

Time in business

Practices open three or more years are strongest, and newer clinics with growing referral volume are funded regularly. Time tiers →

Negative days/NSFs

Therapist payroll before reimbursements can cause negative days — staying under 3 a month keeps the file clean. Exact limits →

Existing positions

An existing equipment advance is reviewed with the file. Refinance options →

How money moves through a physical therapy practice

Visit volume follows referrals from physicians and surgeons and often dips around holidays, while January deductible resets slow collections early in the year.

Therapist and aide payroll, rent, billing services and equipment are steady costs, and workers' comp claims can take months to pay.

What physical therapy practices use funding for

Therapy equipment

Treatment tables, parallel bars, cardio and modalities.

New clinic location

Buildout and equipment for a satellite clinic.

Therapist hiring

Covering salary while a new therapist builds a caseload.

Carrying claims

Payroll while insurance and workers' comp remits are pending.

Referral marketing

Building relationships with physicians and surgeons.

Worked example: a physical therapy practice

A PT practice with a growing post-surgical caseload wants to open a satellite clinic near an orthopedic group.

Its statements show about $88,000 a month in deposits and an average daily balance near $9,200 — roughly 10% of monthly revenue, right around the 10% benchmark.

A request of $55,000 on a line of credit is about 62% of one month's deposits for this physical therapy practice, which keeps the payment proportionate to what comes in.

Illustrative figures for a sample physical therapy practice, not an offer; real amounts, terms and cost depend on the full file.

How it works

1. Apply in minutes

Gather recent business bank statements; insurance remits and cash-pay deposits show true collections.

2. Same-day decision

Reimbursement rhythm, years treating patients and current positions inform the review, beside credit.

3. Review your terms

Before you sign, the amount, term and total cost are in front of you, so payments can be checked against a slow January.

4. Next-day funding

Signed agreements usually fund the next business day.

Common questions

Do PT practices qualify with mostly insurance revenue?

Yes. Insurance remits deposited to the business account are part of the revenue history that is reviewed.

How much can a physical therapy practice borrow?

Collections set the amount, from $10,000 to $350,000 on a line or $10,000 to $250,000 on a term loan.

Do workers' comp payments count?

Payments that land in the business account count as part of the deposit history.

Can a practice with an existing advance apply?

Yes. Equipment financed with an earlier advance is considered in the review.

Will a therapist-owner's credit be affected by checking?

No. Eligibility checks do not change the score, and practices get a same-day answer.

Physical therapy practices: check your options

A satellite clinic or a new therapist — PT practices hear back the same day, and the check does not affect credit.
