Frequently Asked Questions
How are startup costs estimated?
We estimate costs based on industry requirements (technology, equipment, licenses), market factors (labor costs, real estate), and scale (solo founder vs team). Estimates are ranges to account for variation.
What costs are included?
Estimates include legal & registration, technology/equipment, initial marketing, working capital for 3-6 months, and industry-specific requirements. Real estate and major capital expenditures vary significantly by business type.
How does scale affect costs?
Scale impacts nearly every cost category. A bootstrapped solo operation might need $5-15K, while a funded startup with a team could require $50-200K+ depending on the industry and market.
Are these costs for the first year?
The estimates cover initial startup costs plus 3-6 months of operating runway. Ongoing operational costs will vary based on growth rate, revenue, and business model.
