I’m in the process of drawing up a business plan and was wondering if anyone could help with with the cost of utilities for one month,such as phone bill,electric,water and gas? I know each place is different so just an estimate if you could. Thanks.
Phone-6 lines plus DSL- $360 per month
Gas with my new ovens-$600 per month, $825 per month with my old ovens
Electricity $1200 to 1700 per month depending on time of year
Water and wastewater $400 per month
I’m open longer hours than most so that effects my costs I’m sure.
I also am working on plans and would like any info that could help on a BPLan? What are the costs involved in a small shop that is selling 5,000 to 10000 a week?
