"So how much will this cost me?" you may ask. Not much, in my opinion, and it also depends. Five million isk will pay for all the skill books and leave enough left over to buy your command centers (81,000 isk in ~~Feb 2012~~) and an industrial hauler that is needed to haul the massive Command Centers (1,000 m3 each). This leaves a little left over for building the colony, which costs an additional five million a planet. If you are willing to start small, you can finance your own operation by using the sales of your first planet's materials to fund more advanced operations, and additional planets (this is starting slow, but a perfectly good plan that will be maxed in no time).

"So how much will this cost me?" you may ask. Not much, in my opinion, and it also depends. Five million isk will pay for all the skill books and leave enough left over to buy your command centers (81,000 to 87,000 isk in April 2019) and an industrial hauler that is needed to haul the massive Command Centers (1,000 m3 each). This leaves a little left over for building the colony, which costs an additional five million a planet. If you are willing to start small, you can finance your own operation by using the sales of your first planet's materials to fund more advanced operations, and additional planets (this is starting slow, but a perfectly good plan that will be maxed in no time).

Financing is also available either by doing the tutorials or use your main character to pay for the alt character's training. The tutorials can provide about 4-5 million isk and a couple industrial ships, but can be time consuming. Transferring funds from your main character is faster, simply locate your alt using the People & Places tool, right click the character's icon, and choose "Give Money". If your main has 30 million isk to give to your alt, you'll fully fund your alt's training and initial operations, and the investment will pay itself off rather quickly once all five planets are up and running. And, of course, you can have your alt run distribution missions, as you'll have them piloting a nice flying cargohold.
