    Hi

    Im doing a college project and i'm on one of the last phases of it and its the financial side of it (which isnt my strong point):). The project is we are leasing a Opticians in the Shopping Centre in Limerick the retail unit is 3,500 square feet. I have to do a trading profit and loss account for year 1 and i also have to do a Balance Sheet. This has to be done for the first 3 years.

    One of the figures(amoung others e.g. purchases and havent a notion where to start with the balance sheet:() i'm finding it hard to get is the Professional Fee's e.g. accounting fee's and legal fee for the business for a year. Also would they differ that much every year or would they be the same figure.

    Then there is insurance I have rang up a few insurance companies but when i say i'm doing a project they are not that helpful. I have to get insurance for
    Stock, Public Liability and Employer insurance any idea on what these figures would be for a year??

    Thanks if anyone can answer any of these!!

    Assuming your operating as a limited company €3000 for accountancy, company secretarial, tax. €700 for the solictor to handle the lease.

    They are figures from a similar business but they can vary wildly.

    You will be safe enough at around two grand for the insurance... isn't 3500sq ft huge for an opticians?

    I would have thought it was huge aswell but a few years ago I was thinking of renting the old workout world on the north quays, it was about 3000sq ft and was taken by an opticians, they put up lots of partitioned rooms?

    3,500 square feet and that the opticians would be located in the Crescent was the requirements we where given, we had no choice in the matter. I didnt even realise that the figure they had given us was big:)
