Startup costs are typically around £10,000 to £50,000, depending on your premises and how much stock you buy. Stock is a big upfront cost, so it is worth starting with fast-selling lines and checking supplier payment terms.

Monthly revenue is typically around £4,000 to £20,000, depending on your stock range, premises and how many trade customers you win. These are estimates rather than guarantees, and revenue is before stock, rent and other costs.

Check business rates, planning use class and lease terms before taking premises. Also check the safety and handling responsibilities for electrical equipment and heavy items, and look into public liability, stock and product liability insurance, plus employer's liability once you hire staff.
