  Hi! Thanks for this very challenging question. I would discuss them one by one per question. 1.)

Non-IT related costs meanwhile, could vary but typical of these are marketing expenses, banking costs for its online transactions, taxes, legal and foreign currency exchange fluctuations if they deliver products or services overseas.
