  • Emergency money 
You could need double of your initial investment as reserve money for smooth running of your company in initial stage. You have to invest in market, doctors and products. You have to get manufactured your products at advance payment and have to provide credit to chemist and stockist. You will also have to invest at promotion and marketing. Calculate all your budget accordingly. Once you have invested, you have to invest at regularly basis until your company has started to earn enough to pay all its expenses and your salary.

Documentation/licensing fee expenses is one time investment. We are not including it in above mentioned three parts. This could require investment as below.
For Marketing Company:
  • Drug License number: Approx. 5000/- vary state to state 
  • Good and Service Tax Registration : Approx. 4500/- 
  • Company Registration: For 2 partner approx. 9000/- 
  • Trade Mark Registration per product/name:Govt. fee + Advocate fees 
  • FSSAI Registration: 100 per year for registration 
You can prevent trade name registration and private limited company registration fee in starting for deducting your investment. Consider approximately minimum of thirty thousand rupees (Most probably more), you will have to invest at documentation and licenses.

Now come to monthly expenses. Rent of Premises, Electricity bill, office expenses and other miscellaneous expenses depend at location and area. Some expenses like accountant/CA fee, quarterly sale tax return etc also will be added in your expenses. As average you can consider it five to six thousand per month or may be more. Prepare your budget after writing all these in your diary.

Now come to main work. Design of logo, company profile, product card, reminder card, catch cover, writing pads etc. Designing charges may vary printer to printer but most of printers do designing free of cost if you are printing all material from them. Above 20 page visual will cost approximate 750/- per piece. Product card cost will depend at size and pages. You can consider it at 5/- per piece and suppose quantity is 1000 pieces. Digital printers can provide less quantity as compare to offset printers but rate may be high. For visual aids, product cards and reminder cards, you can choose digital printing in starting because digital printer can give one or two piece of detailing visual aids and hundred pieces of products cards & reminder cards. It will reduce your over all investment.
