Monthly revenue is typically around £300 to £1,800, depending on how many clients you see and how often. These are estimates, not guarantees, and a home practice often builds gradually through word of mouth and local groups.

Things to check include whether your insurer is happy with treatments at home, your landlord, mortgage lender or council, advertising rules on not claiming to diagnose, treat or cure, data protection and ICO registration, and when to suggest a GP.
