Show New Business Cost Has Been Increased A recent survey indicates that setting up a business where men and women can make a living by manufacturing goods or giving some service to the public costs an average of about $11,200 per employee, em-ployee, except in banking, insurance, insur-ance, and similar lines. In factories where big buildings, a lot of machinery, machine tools, and delicate instruments are needed, it costs a great deal more than $11,200. In other cases, where a businessman needs only a showroom show-room and a small stock of goods, it may cost less. But $11,200 is the overall average. Increasing costs, the survey also showed, are making it harder and harder to find people, who, after paying their taxes, can spare enough cash to invest in new businesses, busin-esses, which in turn can and do create new jobs. |
