Cost comparisons that fit your trade

15/10/2026

Wavro now asks what kind of business you run when you set up, so Company costs compares a gym with gyms and a salon with salons. The gym ranges have been rechecked against current sources for smaller staffed sites.

Highlights

  • Tell us your trade once - setup now asks whether you run a café, restaurant, pub, gym, salon or something else, and Company costs compares your spending with that kind of business from day one.
  • Gym ranges that fit a staffed site - the labour, premises and profit ranges for gyms and studios were rechecked against current sources and now reflect a smaller site with staff on every open hour, rather than a large chain.

Worth knowing

  • Already set up? You can change your business type any time in Settings, Labour cost. Companies that never chose one are still compared with a café.
  • These are trade guides, not survey data. Use them as a reference point, and move any range to fit your own site.

Changes

Features

  • Onboarding: a required "What kind of business is it?" question that sets the Company costs benchmark profile.

Fixes

  • Company costs: gym and fitness studio ranges revised (labour 30-45%, premises 10-20%, net margin 8-15% of revenue) with updated sources.
  • Tests: the end-to-end staff journey runs again on every change.
