• Monthly or Quarterly base
• Excel or Calc is your friend
• Start by listing your main assumptions
16 Xavier Corman | Martin van Wunnik24/04/2012
Tips for assumptions
• Office: 10-25 m²/person
• EUR 100/m²/year + 15 % for maintenance
[ or COWORKING !]
• Insurances: 1 -3 % of revenues
• Marketing: define a % of revenues + starting
investment
• Don’t forget lawyers, accountant, social
secretary, office supplies…
17 Xavier Corman | Martin van Wunnik24/04/2012
Tips for assumptions
• Car leasing : 300 – 800 EUR per month
• Salary : Gross monthly x 19,2 = Yearly cost
• Revenues: worst-case & best-case
– First 3 to 6 months: 0 EUR
– Maximum ‘billable’ hours per day
(one-off events, holidays, prospecting, etc...)
• Own salary : Realistic� different ‘hats’
