Cost of the office space at £££ per square metre per month
Cost of heating and lighting
Cost of office furniture
Cost of computers and networking
Cost of cleaners
Interest on company's debts
Cost of filling in forms for the Government
Employers' National Insurance
Actual Insurance

And how many orders are processed per week per member of staff, bearing
in mind the money has to pay for _all_ the staff involved, managers
included? It may be fewer than you think.
