Startup cost: $500 - $5k

The low-end estimate covers basic tools like a glass cutter, measuring tape, safety gear, and a small inventory of glass panes. It also includes minimal marketing costs, such as setting up a basic website or social media presence. The high-end estimate includes professional-grade tools, a larger inventory, a more comprehensive marketing strategy with paid ads, and possibly renting a small workspace. Essential costs are tools and initial inventory, while optional costs include advanced marketing and workspace rental. Hidden fees might include insurance and ongoing marketing expenses. Online communities often suggest that while starting costs can be low, expenses can increase as the business grows.
