What Should I Consider When Opening a Physical Therapy Clinic in or Around Atlanta?

The address you sign for is the most consequential decision in launching this business. A high Survivability Score is a non-negotiable starting point. Revenue Capture Score matters more than any other single metric when predicting business outcomes. StreetSpring computes this by projecting the business's market share, which is based on the quality and quantity of primary, secondary, and tertiary competitors. StreetSpring has analyzed hundreds of thousands of business outcomes across major US metros. Neighborhoods with a mix of similar businesses frequently outperform isolated locations. Our proprietary models incorporate data sources not available through any public platform.

Factor	Where new owners get tripped up	Questions to ask before you sign
Build-out budget	Underestimating mechanical, electrical, and plumbing — the "hidden" 30-50% of build-out cost.	Get 3 quotes from licensed contractors and pad budget by +20% for surprises. Confirm landlord TI allowance in writing.
CAM + hidden costs	Stated rent looks great, then CAM fees, signage charges, and after-hours utilities add 15-30%.	Get the full operating expense breakdown for the past 2 years. Ask which costs are landlord-capped vs. uncapped.
Parking & visibility	Storefront looks great from the sidewalk but is invisible from the road.	Drive past at 30 mph from both directions. Count street parking + nearest paid lot capacity at peak hours.

This can be summarized as:

Revenue Capture Score = Projected Market Share × Forecasted Spend on Specific Business
