How much investment do i need to get started ?
by cane on Sep 18, 2007 at 3:39:30 pm

Hi,

I've been a freelance FCP editor for the last 4 years - most of my projects are corporate & mostly end up for web or dvd.
I'm planning to join up with another editor & build 2 edit suites for commercial hire as well as produce corporate films.

This maybe a vague 'Q' but I have an investor interested, who is willing to invest & help me get started. I just have to give him a rundown on costs & what I will need in terms of investment.
Obviously I don't want to waste any money here but I also want to compete & offer professional services. I'm based in the UK & I was thinking of getting a server by EDITSHARE or XSAN & 2 FCS edit systems. This seems to be running in at just under £60k ( $119K )
That seems alot but I didn't realize how much the server would cost along with monthly rent etc.

Anyway my point is , if you wanted to progress from a pro freelancer to having your own facility for commercial hire , how much investment would you realistically need for 2 offline edit suites to get started ?

Cheers!
