How to calculate a business

Many people dream of starting their own business, starting it, but suddenly they are faced with the fact that they need much more money than they thought … Someone takes loans, someone decides that business is not for him. How to calculate the costs of your business?

Instruction manual

First, you need to calculate the costs of a business before you have taken at least one step to create it, and not after. Secondly, it is worth remembering that almost any business requires expenses, a “business without investments” is often just a myth, and it is necessary to soberly assess your financial capabilities.

2

Consider an example of calculating funds for a fairly inexpensive business. Let it be a small advertising agency. What exactly you have to pay for:

1. registration of IP or LLC;

2. rental of premises;

3. Organization of your business (communication, Internet);

4. salary to staff;

5. advertising.

3

Registration of an LLC (consider it, since it is more expensive) will cost about 4000 rubles if you register an LLC yourself, and in 8000-10000 thousand if you hire an intermediary company (this option is most convenient). These amounts include the state registration fee, notary services, opening a bank account, making a seal and paying for intermediaries if you decide to use them. It is worth remembering that the size of state duties can vary, and they need to be checked (for example, on the website of the 46th tax inspectorate - www.nalog.ru ).

Registration requires that at least 50% of your company's registered capital be paid. Now the minimum authorized capital of an LLC is 10, 000 rubles, it can be paid in both cash and property. Take note that amendments to the Civil Code are being prepared, which suggest its increase at least 50 times since 2012. This is done as part of the fight against one-day firms, but it can hit a simple entrepreneur hard.

At the first stage, you may not need a room for doing business. Cases when novice entrepreneurs talked with first customers by phone, made appointments in cafes or offices of the same customers, and worked on orders at home. However, most likely it cannot go on for so long. It is important not only the convenience of doing business, it is also important that when registering an LLC you will need to provide an office address. The tax inspectorate has been extremely wary of recent mass addresses. Therefore, it is worth determining a place and renting a small room.

The office of an advertising agency does not have to be located in the very center of the city, but it is still better if it is not located on the outskirts. Renting an office is not as easy as it seems: it is necessary to draw up a competent lease agreement, which may require legal advice. If you are not sure about the landlord, it is better to invest in a lawyer, instead of being deceived. The cost of renting an office of about 30 sq. M in Moscow ranges from 15, 000 rubles per 1 sq. M per year.

It is necessary to take care of the organization of your business - the purchase of equipment, the organization of communication. At first, it is enough to have everything at a minimum, but are you planning to develop? The same applies to employees: if you can work together with a partner for the first few months, then you will need people, at least a secretary.

8

An advertising agency, like any other business, also needs advertising. Quite a low-cost advertising - advertising on the Internet, you can also hire promoters who will lay out your leaflets under the "wipers" of more or less expensive cars (distributing leaflets to an advertising agency to passers-by hardly makes sense). Naturally, you should create a website. There are many ways to advertise yourself.

We calculate the total costs (of course, approximately):

1. Registration - up to 10, 000 the procedure itself and 5, 000 - half of the authorized capital of the LLC, total 15, 000.

2. Office - up to 450, 000 per month, depending on location. If there are costs for a lawyer, then even up to 20, 000 rubles.

3. Organization of office work - depending on the office. A pair of laptops or computers, desks for them, the Internet and a telephone, useful little things will cost about 100, 000 rubles (with proper savings).

4. The salary of the secretary in Moscow ranges from 18000-20000 rubles. At first, it makes no sense to pay the secretary more, since he will have little work. Hire students, they certainly will not refuse to work for this amount. The salary of an advertising manager starts at 30, 000, with no experience you can pay less.

5. Promoter services cost from 200 rubles per hour. Print flyers - from 2000 rubles, a site - from 20, 000. A good option is to use friends. Surely your friend-programmer will make you a good website inexpensively.

Naturally, this calculation is only approximate. It all depends on the city in which you do business, the circumstances in the market. In addition, it is worth emphasizing that this calculation is suitable when you begin to promote your business, i.e. not from the very beginning, because at first you might work without employees and even without an office.
