Start-Up Costs Calculator

Tuesday June 20, 2006
Dear Retailing Guide,

I've heard stories of how some entrepreneurs start a company using their savings and credit cards. Although they don't give an amount of the initial outlay, they make it sound simple to get started. How much money will I need to start a retail business?

Cash Curious

Dear Cash,

Retail businesses vary in start-up costs. A good, solid business plan will help you determine the exact needs of your shop and how much capital it will take to get the doors open. If you are just looking for an estimate, use this calculator to figure the initial costs of starting your retail business.
