make up the US Textile Industry

themselves because they pick, clean, dye, and create the material that they
then sell to other suppliers and buyers
S Bargaining Power of Buyers- High, consumers or fashion clients are looking
for the newest color, fabric, design trend. They will pay a large price just to
keep up with the newest trends
S Threat of New Substitutes- High, growing rate of technology is changing the
fabric manufacturing world and the changing economy is either increasing
employment or decreasing employment
S Threat of New Entrants – Low, differentiating products from other
competitors is a struggle for most new and old textile industries

50. Budget
S Varies upon where your company wants to settle
S Ratti Example:
S New York City: Rented Office Space for a Team Office is $40,000
month
S That space is about Approx. 5000 square foot and holds 35 employees
S Cost in Euros would be: 35,700
S Please keep in mind that taxes, government taxes, equipment fees,
appliances fees, office supplies and moving fees are also added to the
total amount
S Fees also vary depending upon which State and city your company
want to relocate too
51. Budget
S My Recommendation Ratti’s Total Budget
S US Total dollars: $650,000 Euros Total: 579,956
S Monthly Rent x 2= 40,000=80,000
S Taxes = 5,000
S Equipment= 20,000
S Appliances= 10,000
S Office supplies= 5,000
S Moving fees= 60,000
S Electricity= 70,000
S If they are energy conservative
S Water Bill= 70,000
S If they are water conservative
S Total= $320,000
S Leaves them with US Total: $330,000 / Euros: 285,521
Please note:
These numbers are based
off of my opinionated
thoughts, NYC moving
