Step 3: Identify your other business expenses
All businesses have expenses that help to generate income; from costs of goods sold, to other expenses such as rent, stationery, wages for employees, legal costs, utility costs (i.e. electricity), subscriptions.
Different businesses will incur different expenses. A business that has a warehouse may pay rent or mortgage repayments, whereas a business that operates from home will not have these expenses.
