Previously, for a business to grow, it would require substantial funds and locally available space. The hiring of employees was limited to the company’s geographical location and the development and growth of the business were dependent on the company’s current financial situation.

With advances in technology, virtually every business function can be outsourced and with the right provider and careful management, outsourcing allows you to start or grow your business without the office space and hundreds of thousands of dollars in startup costs.

The cost of starting a new business can be placed in these main categories:

Legal Fees

Businesses will have to pay legal and compliance fees. This could range from trading licenses, building compliance, patents, logos and industry-specific requirements.

Office Space

Renting, leasing or purchasing a space to conduct a business is an ongoing expense. If you are keeping your business functions local, your business can only grow as big as your office space allows.

Utilities

These include ongoing electricity and water costs unless they are fixed at the price of the rental space. Internet fees and the upkeep of all the facilities will also be ongoing costs.

Technology

For most businesses to survive in the twenty-first century, you will require computers, computer hardware, internet, software, printers, servers, equipment and website development and maintenance.

Salary

As well as an ongoing salary for the duration of employment, you are likely to incur job advertising fees, recruitment agency fees, bonuses and perks such as gym membership and work lunches, holiday pay and severance packages.
