I only have a small shop so my budget is quite small - about £500 for a normal week, more if a big funeral is on the books or wedding. Realistically speaking if this is for a project, try and watch what sells in your placement, cut that figure by 70% for a new business, then do the maths as they have taught you to cost at college. I know its working backwards but its essential education. For example, if you expect to sell 10 £25 baskets in a week, then work out what they cost in flowers, the same for bouquets you can realistically expect to sell, etc etc. Be very careful not to over-egg the mixture though. Hope this helps
