Here\u2019s an overview of the main expenses to anticipate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Start-up Investments<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several investments will be necessary in the first few months to create an efficient work environment and project a professional image.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Commercial space<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> : rent or buy, depending on the chosen strategy.

In addition, there is <\/span><b>property management<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which also generates revenue through recurring fees. The amounts vary depending on the agreement:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Between <\/span><b>5% and 8% for sales<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, with the possibility of a surcharge for luxury or unusual properties.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Approximately <\/span><b>6% to 10% of the monthly rent for leases<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
