As said MO MONEY, MO PROBLEMS π¬. I thought her post was a great insight into owning and running a SME, so I did an example of what it costs to run my business because itβs so interesting/scary!
People assume big numbers mean big profits but running a business costs a lot! Like around R252k per month! And this isnβt everything, just the basicsβ¦.
Electricity being a huge contributor to running the business, especially in SA, as it is what we rely on most as a swim school to keep the water between 32 and 34 degrees! The cost is insane and yes, I should have solar to take the load off, but that would cost about a million to install and keep the water at the temperature we need to keep every one swimming and happy, so at this point it is not an optionβ¦
The weight of the responsibility is huge, especially in winter (min 4 months) when we lose over 100 students to the weather π°. I am responsible for the business, the customers and most importantly the livelihoods of 6 people on my team!
Small biz is so hard and not for the faint hearted but I am grateful and I thank each and every one of you who support us! I salute π«‘ all of you in the same boat! We got this!!
