Imagine you’re a magician. 🧙♂️You’ve got all these props – rabbits, top hats, doves, and magic wands.
- The Stores Oncost in your magic show would be the cost of feeding the rabbits, keeping the doves healthy, maintenance of the hats, and insurance for your magical accidents, instead of the cost of buying the props.
- Oncost includes warehouse storage, insurance, staff wages for handling inventory, and—yes—even that mystical monthly payment for the someone-will-manage-this-storage headache!
