Related Business Risks

Workers Compensation Insurance Premiums Across Jurisdictions

AUD 500-1,000 per year per solo performer for liability tied to payroll; up to AUD 20,000/year for high-risk groups[1]

Insurance & Attendance Revenue Loss

AUD 100,000+ asset retirement costs; 20-30% attendance decline (industry est. based on protests and 75% public opposition)

Veterinary & Audit Compliance Costs

AUD 5,000-15,000/month in vet fees and compliance labour (20-40 hours/month manual tracking)

Kassenschwund und Inventurdifferenzen bei mobilen Verkaufsständen

Logic-based: 3–5% of concession revenue. For a circus group with AUD 4m annual food/beverage/merch revenue, expected shrinkage and under‑recording = AUD 120,000–200,000 p.a. plus potential ATO assessments of underpaid GST and income tax (often 25–75% penalties of the shortfall on top of tax and interest).

Fehlende und fehlerhafte Umsatzbeteiligungen mit Fremdverkäufern

Logic-based: 2–4% of hosted vendor revenue lost. If third‑party vendors collectively take AUD 2–4m p.a. across a circus’ events, lost commission and fees to the circus = approx. AUD 40,000–160,000 annually.

Überbestände, Verderb und Engpässe bei Event-Concession-Beständen

Logic-based: 20–30% avoidable cost on concession stock and rush logistics. For a circus spending approx. AUD 300,000–500,000 p.a. on food, beverage and small-wares for stands, this equals AUD 60,000–150,000 per year in unnecessary product and freight costs. Additional labour savings ~35 admin hours per week in the case study translate to roughly AUD 2,500–3,500 per month at Australian wage rates (≈ AUD 30–40/hr), or AUD 30,000–40,000 p.a.[1]
