| To set up a working studio you’re looking at an outlay of several thousand pounds, so you either need substantial savings or to get hold of a very generous grant. Day-to-day running costs are also high: think upwards of £2000 per month on gas and electricity alone. Unless you have money to burn, before taking the plunge you need to be sure of your market and that you can cover your costs.
