| ==== Financial feasibility of our own space ====
| |
| '''Income:'''
| |
| * Current membership fee is £8 a month.
| |
| * At the moment I would say maximum paying members we could get is 10.
| |
| * So we'd make £80 a month from membership fees. We could increase membership fees for people who are very active.
| |
| '''Costs:'''
| |
| *Rent, lets say £500 a month
| |
| * Other space costs. Utility bills, business rates/council tax.
| |
| * Reagents. We should work out cost per reaction, assuming an extraction, PCR and electrophoresis. I estimate this will be between £1 and £5 per reaction.
| |
|
| |
| So we have a big funding shortfall. Therefore we need to stay with the hackspace.
