Are you writing a driving school business plan? If YES, here is a sample driving school financial projection, profit & loss statement, sales cost. In setting up any business, the amount or cost will depend on the approach and scale you want to undertake.
If you intend to go big by renting a place, then you would need a good amount of capital as you would need to ensure that your employees are well taken care of, and that your facility is conducive enough for workers to be creative and productive.
This means that the start-up can either be low or high depending on your goals, vision and aspirations for your business. The tools and equipment that will be used are nearly the same cost everywhere, and any difference in prices would be minimal and can be overlooked.
As for the detailed cost analysis for starting a standard driving school; it might differ in other countries due to the value of their money. We have been able to pull cash that will be enough for us to successfully launch a standard and government approved driving school in Manhattan- New York. These are the key areas where we will spend our start – up capital on;
