Want to get an office going and doing the OPEX (running cost) budget? Typically we think of rent, utilities and rates & taxes but there are many more cost elements to be considered. On the last count we have identified 89. It does however also include some corporate overhead cost elements (for your info if you ever want to go into the instant office business ) so it is a bit less but still much more than 3.
These are divided into:
Fixed monthly overheads
Variable monthly overheads, and
Ad-hoc costs
For our complete list download it.
The list is an extract from the SkyCribs instant office business model i.e. our cost elements when we lease-in a property and then sub-lease it. It might be an over-kill for the smaller business looking to set-up an office but it gives insight into what goes into a modern office aimed at creating an environment where people can spend most of their daily lives.
Be sure to also look at our post regarding the CAPEX budget.
