Here it is again - an article from our series "Are packaging-free stores just lining their own pockets?" Your feedback was consistently positive and we want to continue to be radically transparent. And that includes disclosing our finances. Because we have nothing to hide.

4,030 euros

We pay 3.2 percent of our gross turnover to the state as value added tax (this is the sales tax balance - after deduction of input tax).

8,990 euros

were deducted from our account for social security contributions as well as income and church tax. In total, we have 38.3 percent of net sales were spent.

So far 0 Euro profit

We were also unable to make a profit in the first quarter of 2023. All of the costs listed here do not include: rent, licenses, office supplies, postage, fees for banks and payment service providers, and much more.

Are we therefore running a business that is doomed to fail? No! We firmly believe that the unpackaged concept is sustainable and important. However, some changes take time to become visible. We are working hard to ensure that our revenues exceed our expenses in the second quarter of 2023 will be exceeded.
