FAQ
What are typical startup costs for a small business?
Typical startup costs range from $3,000 for a simple online business to $100,000+ for a brick-and-mortar store. Common categories include legal fees ($500-$5,000), equipment ($2,000-$50,000), marketing ($1,000-$10,000), and working capital reserves (3-6 months of expenses).
How do I calculate my startup burn rate?
Burn rate is the monthly cash you spend minus revenue. If your monthly expenses are $10,000 and revenue is $3,000, your burn rate is $7,000/month. Divide your total capital by burn rate to get runway in months.
What costs do first-time founders often overlook?
Commonly overlooked costs include business insurance, professional services (accountant, lawyer), software subscriptions, permits and licenses, security deposits, and working capital reserves to cover the first 3-6 months before revenue stabilizes.
