In the early development stages of opening a Spa, it becomes essential to have an estimated cost for FF&E and OS&E. Owners or developers are looking at the overall expense of the project, and not the requirements of daily operations. SMS offers flexible services tailored to our client's needs which helps ensure that the project opens on time and within budget. This service is essential both at the planning stage and the procurement and delivery stage if cost overruns, and late deliveries are to be avoided through under budgeting.

The Budget is a financial projection based on the size, location, demographics, and concept of the spa, along with other determining factors. SMS will create both a Budget along with a five-year Pro-forma, which will give the owner, or investor a five-year forecast and the assumptions that will support the Financial Pro-forma and help provide an understanding of the business model
