Fatores de risco

• 999-month break-even due to negative monthly profit (-$6,818 to -$1,688)
• Low GDP/capita ($2,666) limiting patient affordability and treatment frequency
• High fixed costs typical for brick-and-mortar outpacing revenue (revenue gap still results in losses)
• Revenue volatility ($12,600–$21,600) with no buffer to cover operating expenses
• Limited market validation signals despite competitor count showing 0 nearby (potential demand underestimation)

Plano de execução

1. Rebuild pricing and packages around local affordability in Uíge (assessment-to-therapy bundles and referral discounts).
2. Increase patient throughput by optimizing appointment scheduling and targeting high-frequency conditions (sports rehab, post-injury, low back pain).
3. Tightly control operating costs (renegotiate rent/utilities, reduce non-essential staff hours, standardize treatment protocols).
4. Launch local demand generation with partnerships (maternities, schools, churches, employers) and a simple referral program.
5. Implement strict KPI tracking for utilization, no-shows, revenue per therapist hour, and cost per visit weekly.
6. Pilot a 60–90 day offer (intro physiotherapy packages) to validate conversion and adjust staffing before scaling.
