What is the difference between startup costs and operating costs?

Components of Operating Cost. A business's operating costs are comprised of two components, fixed costs and variable costs, which differ in important ways. A fixed cost is one that does not change with an increase or decrease in sales or productivity and must be paid regardless of the company's activity or performance.
