for your Boat Charter platform to start around $32,867, excluding variable expenses tied to booking volume This initial burn rate covers core payroll—$26,667 for the CEO, Lead Engineer, and part-time Marketing Manager in 2026—plus $6,200 in fixed overhead like rent, utilities, and software licenses Your primary cost driver is payroll, followed by variable costs like Payment Processing (120% of revenue) and Digital Advertising (40%) The business model is structured to hit breakeven in October 2027, 22 months after launch, requiring careful management of the initial negative EBITDA of $287,000 in the first year You must defintely track these costs to maintain the required minimum cash buffer of $341,000, which is projected to be needed in November
