How much might they be?

My friend and I are hoping to open a coffee shop in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex and would like to know approximately how much our itility bills might be. The footage is approx 1,000 sq ft. Is there anyone who could help us with this please?

    Depends on how many cups of coffee you make.

    Will you be offering a freebie to entice new customers in?

    If you are buying/leasing an existing commercial unit, then some figures should be available from the vendors or landlord possibly?

    As a resident of LoS there are more than enough coffee shops currently open.

    Where abouts in LoS had you in mind ?
