Start-up budget (Excel Spreadsheet)

For the second week we were asked to estimate the budget we need to start our company. To do this spreadsheet we firstly divided our expenses in "one-time" and "on-going" expenses. The former represents the expenses we have to do once and for all while the on-going expenses are periodical costs. Afterwards we divided the ongoing expenses into "fixed" and "variable" for those which don't change over the time and for those which adjust to the sales our company has. In the variable expenses we included Advertising costs because it clearly depends on the sales we achieve.

We did a calculation for the time-span of a year as well as of the first 3 months the smallest period of time for which if we have the budget we can start our company. In our 3 month estimation of money required we included all the Annual Fixed Expenses such as Taxes and Insurance. The spreadsheet is available here:
