Startup cost: $200 - $2.5k

The low-end estimate covers essential costs like a basic website or online presence ($50 for a domain and hosting), a professional email service ($10/month), and a few initial marketing materials or ads ($100). The high-end estimate includes a more comprehensive setup with a professional website design ($500), advanced marketing tools and ads ($1,000), a premium scheduling and client management software ($300), professional development courses or certifications ($500), and branding materials like business cards and logos ($200). Hidden costs can include ongoing subscription fees for software and unexpected marketing expenses. While some claim it's low-cost, expenses can increase as you invest in better tools and marketing to grow the business.
