Starting up as lifestyle business will cost him anywhere around $5k to $10k which will include rent of the space, study material and all the required utilities. 2.in other case, if he thinks of starting this business as a broader venture , he needs to raise capital because initial cost will be huge. He need to develop various study software, mobile application, hire professionals and lease out a big commercial space where he can easily accommodate students and teach them. The cost in this type will be somewhere around $80,000 to $100,000. CONCLUSION: after going through the whole case and coming out with various strategies I think James should start it as a broader venture because it reflects huge growth potential. Dragging technology in his teaching methodology will make it easy for students to learn different programs and it will be very handy for them to learn. By creating it as a whole package, James can ask for any reasonable cost which will help hin increasing net profits and will provide investors with a great return. classes Personal coaching ($75/hr.) .22million ($100/hr) .137 million($60/hr) .12 million
