Startup costs are typically around £500 to £3,000, depending on your heat press, transfer or vinyl supplies and blank stock. These are estimates. Equipment quality and the volume of orders you plan for will move your figure.

Monthly revenue is typically around £400 to £3,000, depending on how many clubs, groups and businesses you win and the size of each batch. This is an estimate of revenue, not profit, and can start from around 8 hours a week.

Check whether your landlord, mortgage lender or council needs to agree to a home business. Avoid printing copyrighted or branded artwork without permission, check public liability insurance, use heat equipment safely, and agree event deadlines in writing.
