Bills, bills, bills. We have to keep them in mind.

Take into account the following things that may or may not cost money during your start up:

1. Business License
2. Fictitious Business name
3. Board for a horse
4. Horse Expenses if separate: Shoes, vet, feed, bedding
5. New Equipment Costs
6. Website

These items will be the basic start up costs. Some will only be one time fees and the others will be on going. Add up the costs, and see all that you can afford.

If your numbers add up to be something a bit scary, revisit and see what you can revise. OR, determine how many clients you need to cover the cost or break even. This will also help you determine your pricing.
