When you want to begin growing microgreens and have no experience, there are 2 levels we offer you depending on your needs and goals. The safest way to get started is to begin with a smaller setup in 5-10 m2. This way we will help you set up your small farm and for this you will need a budget of 3000€ ex vat. You will need 1000€ ex vat. for our consulting and about 1499€ ex vat. for the first equipment and seeds. This way you will be helped finding your first customers and how to do all the work. We will guarantee that we help you until you get your investment in our consultations back. We have prepared video material for you to learn everything and then we will do as many coaching calls as you need until you succeed in getting your customers. We typically see people get the return on investment back within 3-9 months of starting in our beginner program.
The operational expenses here are not much and the equipment we recommend you use will consume about 400 watts per hour your grow system is on. This is the least risky way of beginning with our programs because you will be able to get valuable information about your market and grow your business in smaller steps. The profitability in this level is about 50% of your revenue but will decrease when you get to the next level since you will need to add operational costs of employees, rent, administration etc.
When you know more about your market, prices and customers, you can choose to scale the business into a commercial property with our next program which will teach you to find the right commercial property, build your farm, get bigger customers, systematize your procedures and the goal here is to help you achieve 10.000€ in profits. This is where we show you our standard operation procedures (sop) and you will get a first hand experience in how we operate our own facilities that are larger scale operations for commercial production. This is an investment of 6000€ ex vat but will save you from making costly mistakes when you set up a farm that will supply your market of hotels, restaurants, wholesalers and retail stores. Here you will expect to invest additionally 10-100.000€ in equipment and growing facility but we will also draw the necessary equipment and facility for you when you enter the commercial blueprint program. Additionally you will get access to our beginner and master community where we have calls with our international partners two times per month and will be able to benefit from our collective experience in scaling and competing in the marketplace.
The size of investment needed for equipment is suited to your needs of quality of equipment and automation of your facility.
