That is much too hard to answer without a lot more information. It is like asking how much to start up a store!

Where?
Inbound or Outbound?
Size?
Number of staff?
Etc etc etc etc...................

We have many DR1 members qualified to help you!

That's easy . . . $457.42

How ever much you got, it'll cost a little more than that to do it right. Same if you do it wrong. I speak from experience.

For an eight seat starter you are looking at six months rent upfront. For each station you need $200 per desk and comfortable chair.

The dsl from codotel for a business so you can get voip is $1000 per month. With flash premium

Bottom line is you are looking between $6-10k.

Thank you that is the information i've been looking for so I'm getting closer . . Where is the opportuntiy to get clients how can one go about that . So If I had my own office that would be a head start - "no rent". This seems a little bit more realistic business than what i had planned down there an Insuranc Office. Send a more inforamtion thanks ---

There are two prices with codotel or at least there was when they were called verizon. There is a price for businesses and for residential. They charge more if you are a business. When i closed my account they charged another $1500 . I may have been ripped off but get used to it here.
