    How Much To Start A Business In Ireland?

    Hypothetically speaking:

    I'd like a small office, 3 desks in an open plan space and one private office. Should be within 15 minutes of public transport and within 60 minutes of an airport.

    - Rent?
    - Electricity?
    - > 10MB broadband/fibre?
    - Cleaning/shared receptionist/maintainence/security?
    - nice view and close to a choice of decent eateries would be nice
    - some spacious parking for customers

    I reckon above would cost €2,500 to €3,000 per month.

    How much would the above cost in Berlin/Beijing/Toronto/etc.?

    The thread title has no reference to the content. You can start a business for under 20 euro if you want to. No startup business needs the above mentioned items.

    I should have known better than to read this thread. Another minute of my life wasted.
    A P.ie moderator stated this on June 25th 2010: P.ie tolerates very broad free speech, and thus allows sectarian bigotry etc

    How can you get a business address for €20?

    Even if you asked, "how much to set up an office", you still didnt say where you wanted to set it up.

    €2k a month? With staff?

    That's the point: where is the cheapest place in Ireland to set up a business like the one described above?

    This thread is about the cost of doing business in Ireland (in case you haven't noticed).

    Are there any low-cost innovation parks around the country that anyone would recommend?

    Such a general question

    Try Aranmore Island...

    You could set up an office at home. Cheapest way of doing it.

    And what happens when you sell your house and find you can't cos you haven't been paying commercial rates?

    And you get whacked with a massive unpaid stamp duty bill?

    A tax mine-field.

    (not to mention the stigma of having "53 The Rise, Blanchardstown, D15" on your business card)
