You can expect initial cash outlays to be lower if the items can be leased rather than purchased. We recommend using small business financial software such as Intuit QuickBooks Pro ($200) that enables you to generate and print customer invoices and track expenses. 7 Legal Review We estimate that the attorneys' fees, publication fees, filing fees and other costs will total $1,500 to $5,000 for incorporation, compliance with your state's fictitious or assumed name statute and review of this Franchise Disclosure Document, depending on the scope of legal services rendered. These fees may vary from state to state depending on each state's laws and the prevailing rate of attorneys' fees. These costs are paid to attorneys, newspapers and governmental agencies, are not refundable and usually incurred before beginning business. 8 Licenses and Permits Local, municipal, county and state regulations vary on what licenses and permits are required to operate a BIOSWEEP Franchise. Classification is generally commercial cleaning and janitorial services. The cost of a business license, if required in your locale, may vary but is generally $20 to $150. These fees are paid to governmental authorities, when incurred, before beginning business and are usually not refundable. 9 Initial Marketing We require you to join your state or local chapter or affiliate of the National Apartment Association (NAA) within 120 days of opening your BIOSWEEP Franchise. The cost of membership varies slightly from chapter to chapter but averages $500 annually for an associate/vendor membership. Each NAA local chapter or region often hosts an annual trade show. Exhibitor fees are approximately $700 to $1,200 for a basic booth. These fees are paid to the local NAA chapter and are usually non-refundable. 10 Misc. Supplies The supplies include warm steam vaporizers, and other miscellaneous supplies. The approximate cost is $300. These supplies may be purchased from various suppliers and are usually refundable. 11 Office Space The size of business facility you need will depend upon the size of your business area, the number of BIOSWEEP machines you have, and your business plan. If you are starting out with 8 BIOSWEEP machines, we suggest that, at least initially, your business office be housed in your personal residence. If you do not use your residence as your initial office, a small office may be leased at a cost that should range from $750 to $1500 per month, depending on your location. Rent would be negotiated with, and paid to, a landlord. You will likely be required to make a security deposit, generally equal to one month’s rent ($750 to $1,500). You will likely be required to make a deposit for utility services (estimated at $200). If you lease office space, you may incur build-out expenses, but we recommend you not make such investment, at least not initially. We do not require you to garage your vehicle. BIOSWEEP machines (8 machines, safety equipment, and supplies) may be stored in your office space, requiring approximately 36 square feet of space. 12 Additional Funds The estimate for working capital is $5,000 to $10,000, for the first three months.
