I have turned over up to 1 million in a year before now , never paid more than 10 k on a van , I would rather spend on my own car . 5-7 K will always buy the latest model of most vans ,with low mileage . I cant see the point in paying more , unless you need to lease.
My sentiments exactly! Would much rather spend that cash on my own car or home furnishings or a holiday! Why spend on your business willy nilly when its not making me any extra money?
Unlike an advert or new machinary which can bring in more work/get the job done better/quicker. Keeping overheads as low as possible has always been my philosophy in my business.
Apart from a fan I bought last year all my gear has been bought brand new. I will be buying a rotery second hand as it will be the first time of using one and i want to see how I get on with it first. Not point in spending £700 on a new one if its just going to be sitting in my lock up....
Regarding earnings. If you actaully knew how many hours i worked a week, you'd understand that it is very possible to turnover that figure. I work 6 days a week and sometimes Sundays and very rarely get in before 6pm.
I've been doing this 11 years, not needed to advertise in 5 years, never done a leaflet drop in my puff, no promo spotting bottles, no fancy fridge magnents, just a handful of business cards to each customer. I live in a nice house in a nice area in a nice city
I must be doing something right.
Yeah, why do they put glass on the back of vans!? thats the stupids idea in the world! If the other van didn't have glass, that would have swayed it for me.
