I wish I saw your video before opening my flower shop. I recently hired an accountant and now I need to switch from sole to corporation.

Incredible! I see how it would help to have all of those elements in place. I am just wondering what those costs are! Sounds like a lot. 😅 need to generate high profits to pay all of those people. Web designer, accountant, employees, insurance, Pos systems, supplies, rent, taxes.. 😅😅😅😅. It’s good to be aware of what it takes. Thank you!

I think it's like any business really. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes to make a business 'run' and I feel like in our industry nobody talks about it - everyone just focuses on wholesale costs and seems to want to ignore the rest.

As a super general guide, I like to plan for 20% Operational Costs, 20% Taxes, 20% COGS, 20% Labour, and 20% Profit. Every business has its own nuances to sort through and definitely get the help of an accountant / financial advisor, but this framework is a great place to start.

@@LittleBirdBloom incredible. Thank you for the awareness. Even hiring a financial advisor, I think, oh more money to raise and spend. How am I going to afford that! But, I am working on changing my emotions to all of that. I grew up in scarcity! I am working on changing old programming that doesn’t serve my dreams. Thanks again for all you do. I LOVE your videos and content.

Yeh .. I worked a florist shop for love .. and undercharged ..

[@LittleBirdBloom]

You are definitely not the only one! But it's okay... because we know now that it's so important to charge the amount you deserve 🫣💗
