One of the questions I get asked most as a 17-year-old business owner is "how much do you earn?"
So here's the full breakdown of Arcscribe's first 91⁄2 months since we incorporated in December 👇
💰 £27,254 from customers, plus £1,600 from selling shares
🏢 £5,564 on rent (our biggest cost)
👥 £2,282 on staff
💻 £1,754 on software
📮 £7.60 on postage
That's £12,875 in costs, or about £44 a day to keep the lights on, leaving just under £16,000 in the company before directors' pay.
Thanks to every Norwich business that has trusted us so far. Year two, let's go 🚀
