As we discussed above, investment required to start a pharmaceutical marketing company, depend at above factors. We will try to understand with an example.
Person A:
A person is going to start a pharma distribution and marketing company. In his area, rent of the premises is 6000/- rupees for 10 square meter premises that is minimum requirement of drug license for marketing and trading company.
He has selected 10 molecules or composition from which 2 has costlier that third party manufacturing or contract manufacturing cost of these products have 500-600 rupees per box. 5 Products have prices in range of 200-250 rupees and remaining 3 products worth 50-75 rupees.
Suppose, minimum third-party order quantity for costlier products is 200 Boxes, medium range products are 300 Boxes and low-priced products are 500 Boxes.
Licenses and documents cost, we may suppose is 20000-25000/-. Required Office accessories cost is 30000/- approx. we consider. He hasn’t done any further investment at any staff or any other things. He is going to do all work by own as he chooses to work at smaller area initially.
He doesn’t have staff so no salary given to any staff, only his own salary and expenses. That we consider as 30000/- per month.
Person B:
He has selected 10 molecules or composition from which 2 has costlier that third party manufacturing or contract manufacturing cost of these products have 500-600 rupees per box. 5 Products have prices in range of 200-250 rupees and remaining 3 products worth 50-75 rupees.
Suppose, minimum third-party order quantity for costlier products is 200 Boxes, medium range products are 300 Boxes and low-priced products are 500 Boxes.
Licenses and documents cost, we may suppose is 20000-25000/-. Required Office accessories cost is 30000/- approx. we consider. He hasn’t done any further investment at any staff or any other things. He is going to do all work by own as he chooses to work at smaller area initially.
He doesn’t have staff so no salary given to any staff, only his own salary and expenses. That we consider as 30000/- per month.
Person B:
On the other hand, a person starts by establishing a good office with good space that is at rent of 30000/- per month. He wants to launch products at large area by appointing a proper office staff and sales staff. He chooses to launch 50 products and suppose partition of cost of products as similar to mentioned in person A by multiply by 5 like 10 products having cost of 500-600/-. 25 Products having price range of 200-250/-. And 15 products in range of 50-75/-
Documents and licenses cost we suppose similar to above but infrastructure cost will be high as number of staff will be higher and will require more office accessories. That we are supposing will cause investment of approx. 5 lakh rupees. Suppose he has office, sales and other staff of 5 persons. Average salary and daily expenses of a staff member is 20000/-. Promotion and marketing expenses is 15000 per month, we are considering.

Till then at expenses that will require to run a business will also fall under investment.
In case of person A,
Rent: 6000*12 months = 72000/-
Licensed and Documents Cost: 25000/-
Office Accessories and Infrastructure Cost: 30000/-
Products Cost:
2 Products and Minimum of 200 Boxes i.e. total 400 Box*600 = 240000/-
5 products and minimum of 300 Boxes i.e. total 1500 Box*250 =375000/-
3 Products and minimum of 500 Boxes i.e. total 1500 Box*75 = 112500/-
Other expenses and salary: 30000*12 = 360000/-
Promotion and marketing approx. = 5000*12 = 60000/-
Total Investment as per above figures will be 72000 + 25000 + 30000 + 240000+375000 + 112500 + 360000 + 60000 = 1274500/- approx.
In case of Person B,

Office accessories and infrastructure cost: 500000/-

15 Products and minimum of 500 Boxes i.e. total 7500 Box*75 = 562500/-
Other expenses and salary: 5 person*20000 = 100000 * 12 months = 1200000/-
Promotion and marketing approx. = 15000*12 = 180000/-
Total Investment as per above figures will be 360000 + 25000 + 500000 + 1200000 + 1875000 + 562500 + 1200000 + 180000 = 5902500/- approx.
As we discussed above from different figures, investment and cost for establishing a pharmaceutical marketing company is not fix. You can start it from small scale as well as large scale and investment required will be changed as per your way of starting.
