How much does it cost to start a business?

Posted by Shaun Nestor on 16 Aug 2010 / 0 Comment

A Babson College estimate concluded that on average, with buying equipment, inventory, and paying employee salaries, it costs $65,000. The Wall Street Journal decided that sounded a little high – and sought out examples of extreme bootstrapping. Its findings? Launching an impressive business on $100 is absolutely possible. Kael Robinson did it (she only sunk $40 into her Live Worldly Brazilian bracelet company initially). So did Jeff Swedarsky, who says with $110 he bought a domain name and registered his business with the Commonwealth of Virginia, he founded the culinary tourism company Food Tour. He hopes to clear $300,000 in sales this year.
