The BSA with its support for 500,000 adult stammerers has a turnover of about £500,000 (43.5 million rupees INR ) a year.  The cost of living in India will be different to that of living in the UK, so that factor needs to be applied when thinking about what kind of revenue, of fundraising, would be required by TISA.  The BSA also funds the Scottish branch office until it can become self-sufficient in its own fundraising. Because there are limited funds within the BSA to sustain this assistance, the Scottish branch office is expected to be self-sustaining by the end of its first year.

Recurring revenue expenditure includes salaries; all office costs; telephone; postage; stationery and other miscellaneous office expenditure. Helpline and telephone support costs; travel expenses; expenses of committee members volunteers and others; opening day and out reach event costs. 

Another recurring revenue expenditure will be printing leaflets and posters etc.  It is not known at this time if it would be better to have a small printing press or to contract out this recurring printing task.

Further costs could be incurred in holding meetings, in recruiting paid staff and volunteers, the new project costs or research costs.

Capital setup costs would include computer and telephone equipment, and if renting an empty office space, office furniture.  Part of the office space should include a meeting room large enough to have workshops as well as periodic meetings of a large number of volunteers.
