What's included

From market to decision

Each section answers a concrete question an investor or operator asks before committing capital.

A fragmented ~£3.6bn market

Growing ~8–10% a year, injectables 65% of revenue, ~34,158 providers of whom only 36% are regulated and no dominant national brand: the white space is a regulated, medically-led premium clinic.

The margin engine, by treatment

A margin-by-treatment table and a contribution-per-chair-hour view (filler beats Botox per chair-hour), plus device CAPEX, a worked P&L and the killer 20% VAT cliff at £90,000.

Where to open: a screening model

A Top-20 location screening model, London by borough, and the thesis to avoid the saturated Harley Street cluster and the cheap-injectable tier for an affluent-but-underserved postcode.

The regulatory spine

Who can legally inject (toxin is prescription-only; remote prescribing now banned), the s.180 licensing reform (red/amber/green), CQC scope, the 20% VAT position and the four-nation split.
