[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 520204, member: 66"]A couple things Hobo missed Utilities: You need heat, light, water. And remember this the rates for these that a business has to pay tend to be higher than what you do at home. The electric rate per Kwh here at our show is three times the residential rate. He mentioned the phone and maybe more than one phone line. The phone will be painful as well. Where I live the basic rate for a home phone line is $40 a month. For a business phone it's $150. He mentioned the cost of a web site but missed the internet connection cost. If you have a business address expect to pay three to four times what a residential rate for a broadband connection costs. Once again where I live a cable internet connection at home is $30 a month (That's just for internet no cable) If I have it strung into the shop here it's $120 a month (once again just for internet access.) Under taxes he didn't mention the fact that a very large number of collectors you sell to will feel they shouldn't have to pay sales tax on their coin purchases even if the state they are in requires it. But the taxman still insists that it get paid so if the collector won't pay it, it has to come out of the dealers gross. And once you have a business you can expect to be inundated with organizations, civic groups, the local high schools etc asking for donations.[/QUOTE]
