I've run the numbers in a similar way on a few business ideas I've had over the years, qnd ended up with a similar amounts of red at the end. There's a good reason I'm still getting paid by someone else! I'd love to run my own business, but haven't found one that pays enough that I wouldn't absolutely hate. Sadly. Good on you for helping people avoid mistakes!
Listened to this whilst doing some gardening. You cover so many interesting points. Plenty of lessons to take away from this for future decisions. Thank you for your time & wisdom. 💪 Whilst it's not necessarily a business, the increase in costs during and after covid wildly threw off my numbers on the renovation project im working on. The numbers still added up, luckily, due to having a somewhat excessive contingency; and it's going on the market in the next 2 weeks.
a thriving french bistro near me closed down recently due to a 5 x increase in energy costs, despite it doing well, it's not a good time to be opening a brick and mortar business on a high street, and that's in the north where it's cheaper, imagine what it'd cost in mayfair or somewhere insanely expensive, a sign of things to come unfortunately.
What sort of leases are all the vape shops, £5 barbers, and beauty salons on a typical deprived high street signing? Do they get the big money launderers backing their business to negotiate with the conglomerates ;-) ?
