Risk: High

Starting a Functional Movement Screening Services side hustle from scratch can be risky, especially for those unable to afford losses. Potential losses include money invested in training, equipment, and marketing, as well as time and energy dedicated to building the business. Beginners have been known to spend money on certifications and equipment without seeing immediate returns. Startup costs can be significant and may not pay off if there is limited demand in the local market. Online discussions highlight instances of individuals failing to attract clients or cover their initial investments. I'd rate the risk a 1 out of 3 because there is a high chance of losing money and time, particularly if the market demand is not properly researched or if marketing efforts are not successful.
