Concretely, initial investment calibrated for Perth ranges from 110K AUD to 810K AUD, and Year 1 target revenue sits between 39K AUD and 520K AUD — a range that already factors in the local coefficients of this city (+35% vs average on costs, +30% vs average on purchasing power).
Competitive density: high (dense supply, segmentation required).
Dominant players: globally fragmented market, US and European SaaS leaders (Salesforce, Hubspot).
