The average cost to start up a 10 product online boutique can cost as little as a couple hundred dollars. Whereas a 50-100 product boutique can be in the thousands for just the products alone and the prices can vary for the web hosting, as well as how you plan on storing your products.

Most people think it's cool, I can handle a few thousand to start up my business, but there are other costs associated with a start up boutique. We have to factor in the time it takes to build the brand for your business. Because as of this year 2021 there are 153,855 clothing boutiques in the US with 1.4% US business growth this year.

With that information you now have to factor in your marketing strategy to get people to your business. Marketing can be costly along with time consuming.

Cause remember you are starting a business that you want to eventually make enough money to take care of yourself and your family. So marketing your business amongst the 153,855 other boutiques will take time.

That marketing will consist of many concepts but building a brand for that business is the number one marketing strategy. Your brand is the core and soul of your business, without a solid brand you might as well stop the process of starting your own business.

Branding takes lots of time, lots of analyzing, refacing, redirecting and changing. Which ultimately boils down to months worth of overhead expenses that within those months you may have brought in little to no revenue to cover those costs. Which also means that you have to continue to spend money adding to your startup capital totals.

See, starting a business is a great opportunity to control your own profits, free up your time and create a legacy for your family that you can pass down to when you no longer want to work but still generate profits from in your absence. It’s just that many entrepreneurs don’t make it far enough to see the success because the money runs out before the business takes off.
