Startup cost: $1k - $10k

The low-end estimate covers basic essentials like a small inventory of furniture and decor, marketing materials, and a simple website. This might include second-hand items or renting furniture as needed. The high-end estimate includes a more extensive inventory, professional photography, advanced marketing strategies, a professional website, and possibly a small storage unit. Essential costs include inventory and marketing, while optional costs might be advanced tools or premium services. Hidden costs can include insurance, transportation, and storage fees. Many online suggest costs can creep up, especially with inventory expansion and marketing efforts. For someone serious, budgeting towards the higher end ensures a more professional setup and smoother operations.
