Local purchasing power and lead density allow targeting the high end of the revenue range from year 2. Concretely, initial investment calibrated for London ranges from 2.8M GBP to 14.8M GBP, and Year 1 target revenue sits between 620K GBP and 3.4M GBP — a range that already factors in the local coefficients of this city (+85% vs average on costs, +55% vs average on purchasing power).
