Chiropractic Merchant Cash Advance & Business Funding
Merchant cash advance for chiropractic offices.
Chiropractic offices can get a merchant cash advance based on patient payments, care plans and insurance deposits. Funders look closely at how much revenue depends on personal injury cases, because those settlements can pay months later and in lumps. Cash-pay and care-plan revenue reads the best.
How do funders read chiropractic offices?
Funders separate steady revenue from settlement revenue and size on the steady part. An office that relies on a few large settlements will see a smaller offer.
How does money come in for chiropractic offices?
Many offices mix cash-pay visits by card, monthly care plans billed to a card, insurance payments by EFT, and personal injury cases paid when a claim settles. The first two are steady. Personal injury money is lumpy and slow.
Which months are slowest for chiropractic offices?
This table shows how many people private offices of chiropractors (NAICS 621310) businesses employed each month, as an index where the year's average is 100. It comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, the most recent full year available. Staffing is a stand-in for how busy a business is. Deposits can move more or less than headcount, so read it as the shape of the year, not your numbers.
| Month | Staffing index (average = 100) | |
|---|---|---|
| January | 100 | |
| February | 100 | |
| March | 100 | |
| April | 100 | |
| May | 101 | highest |
| June | 100 | |
| July | 100 | |
| August | 100 | |
| September | 99 | lowest |
| October | 100 | |
| November | 100 | |
| December | 100 |
The low point is September at 99.1 and the high point is May at 100.6, a swing of 1.5 points. Chiropractic staffing is almost flat all year.
| Quarter | Total payroll index (average = 100) |
|---|---|
| Quarter 1 | 94 |
| Quarter 2 | 99 |
| Quarter 3 | 99 |
| Quarter 4 | 109 |
Payroll by quarter can rise at year end for reasons like bonuses and overtime, not only more work.

- Covering the wait on personal injury settlements.
- Office renovation.
What does an advance payment look like in a slow month?
Staffing barely moves through the year here, so the slow month to plan for isn't seasonal. Say an expected personal injury settlement slips a month and deposits come in 20% under average. Say a business like yours deposits $45,000 in an average month and carries a fixed payment of $4,500 a month, 10% of that average:
| Deposits | Fixed payment | Share of deposits | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average month | $45,000 | $4,500 | 10.0% |
| A month 20% below average | $36,000 | $4,500 | 12.5% |
A fifth less in deposits turns a 10% payment into 12.5%. Keep a cushion for it, or ask how reconciliation works before you need it.
