What is the cost structure of building a center for software research and development?
Since software research and development is an intellectual and talent-dependent business, Human Resources take up most of the cost structure, including employees’ salaries, which account for the lion’s share of all costs.
Other costs that are included in the software research and development budget:
- Office space rent
- One-time investments in office equipment, furniture, and appliances
- Expenses for establishing a legal entity and managing taxes
- Office maintenance and management
- HR support aimed at employee retention
Moreover, including a deposit equivalent to two month’s rent and an upfront payment for the office lease is common.
There’s no universal answer to how much it costs to launch an R&D center, as it depends largely on the number of employees and the size of the office. For instance, in Eastern Europe, you can rent an office space of 250 square meters (up to 25 team members) for about $3,500 per month.
On average, launching a new research and development branch of this scale requires an investment of approximately $50,000. This one-time investment typically covers various expenses such as office rent and equipment, legal entity registration, and legal support, including necessary deposits.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to book a free research and development consultation with our expert, Dmytro Malashevski, who will be happy to provide an estimate tailored to your specific needs.
