 * Liability Insurance: required for triple net leases, and most other lease options for that matter. Our cost is $100 per 1,000 SF of building ($1,000/year for 10,000 SF facility). Liability insurance covers your volunteers and the general public if they are injured on site. This does NOT protect you from negligence, always maintain a safe work place. You will likely have to add coverage for your landlord and for any partner/government organizations you contract with. (around $50 per/year).

 Here are some of the costs you will encounter when starting up your facility.
-* Rent: Warehouse and office space can range from around $0.25/SF to $1.00/SF. (Our space ranges from $0.33/SF to $0.50/SF for a total of $5,000/mo.). The paradox is that the closer you are to good public visibility and transportation the more expense the space tends to cost.

 * Lease: Most leases are 3 to 5 years, but that is usually negotiable to a shorter duration.Leases for commericial property are often structured as "triple net" which means you pay for the liability insurance, property taxes and utilities in addition to any rent.

 Note: This amount of space may seem like a lot to start with. You may want to find a facility that allows you to start small (4,000 SF to 5,000 SF) and expand as you grow. If you have a huge resource base and are doing this a large metropolitan area, you may want to increase some area requirements.
