For a b2b saas project, this means a high average ticket and a setup cost above national by 70 %.
Local purchasing power and lead density allow targeting the high end of the revenue range from year 2. Concretely, initial investment calibrated for Hong Kong ranges from 51K HKD to 430K HKD, and Year 1 target revenue sits between 78K HKD and 930K HKD — a range that already factors in the local coefficients of this city (+70% vs average on costs, +55% vs average on purchasing power).
