One-Time Expenses

Costs paid a single time at launch and not expected to repeat, such as legal work, incorporating, licensing, and sometimes the purchase of equipment.

Equipment is the one-time expenditure that dwarfs the rest, and it is the line that usually forces a funding decision.

Often confused with

Recurring Costs: One-time expenses are paid once; recurring costs arrive again every period the business operates.
