I havent got one incase any of you are wondering ;D
But just as a bit of interest how big would you need to be to have a million pound business?
Say you have mostly a domestic round how many vans/workers/customers would you be talking you needed to reach the big million figure? Now im not looking an exact number of each as I know a lot of variables come into it but a rough figure to just get an idea
Is there any real success stories in the industry with guys doing similar?
Surely theres a few on here that have gone over the mil mark from the money some seem to be making ;)

8333 custies at 4 wkly is what's needed at £12 average.
16 vans doing 25 custies a day on their own.
= £1.3 million
At a quick calc
Not as big as u think really , if u canvassed 3 new custies a day for a year that's 1095 new custies per year.
7.5 yrs and it could be any of us at £1million +
Scary eh
-
Do you mean a £1 Mil turn over a year?
You'd have to turn over £3,846 a day, 5 days a week, every week of the year to reach that. That's with no days off.
How many vans or staff, I have no idea I'm not a windie ;D

Expenses at £32k per 4 wk = pukka wage at the end. £500k

Will let you know when i get there mate.
This time next year.

10 vans on the road, each van does say 40 houses a day at an average of £15 a house. Say they work 45 weeks a year...
40 houses x £15 x 10vans = £6000 a day
£6000 x 5 days x 45 weeks = £1,350,000
So there's your answer, get 10 vans doing 40 houses a day and you'll be turning over just more than a mil
do-able!

It depends on what you define as a million pound business.
A business that could sell for a million, theoretically. A business with a million pounds worth of work. A million turnover. A million profit. But over how long. A million with assets. Without assets........and so on.
One with a million pounds worth of poles? Oh, that's Dazmond.
-
Or just get a side line like Mr wilts.
-
Stop dreaming and get back tp work. It ain't going to happen.
-
Aim for a £250k turnover a year business although on paper it looks a lot easier than it is!. 5 vans out doing £200 a day. Or 4 vans £250 a day or even still 3 vans doing £330 a day or if your richard isparkle 2 vans doing 500 a day. All acheivable with the right work and right planning.
In 4 years you will turn over your million.

I thought we were all millionairs.... must just be me then ;D
-
you need to be doing commercial work big office blocks not houses
-
you would have to sideline with prostitution i think :-)

My plan to make a million is to target big, massive houses- not them pomme de terres Bateman does- and charge them a lot of money. Do the sills, doors, car port, everything and charge them about £500,000 each (depending on whether they've an outside tap, moved the wheelie bins and quality of biscuit on offer; I'd be expecting Viscounts ;)).
I only need two more.

Mais oui, mais oui, Andy.
Ok, my French isn't le best but don't knock for trying to get half a million pound jobs. That's typical of CIU; someone shows some ambition and people trying to knock them down.
He who dares wins.

When you do make your first million Griff i'll be the first to buy you a drink.
None of that cheap continental wine crap, it will be chateauneuf (Tesco Finest). ;)

Anything is possible, but it would be a massive pain in the ass on domestics, especially with the vat issue.
-
A £200 000 pain in the ass Dean :o :o
Rob ;D

Yes mate, like a volunteer tax collector for HMRC. :o
-
How come Mr I have an opinion on everything' Ben M missed the French lesson?!
Bet he'd take a pain in the ass for 1/4 mil

Dean
If I had to pay £200 000 in VAT I wouldn't be complaining ;)
Rob ;D
-
out of interest would there be an optimal turnover level maybe not a mill but something reasonably big were you ran it super efficient, took advantages of all allowances etc to be able to take home as much as possible?
Yeah would be nice to take home maybe 500k a year but man it would sicken me to pay 200k vat+tax+everything else you are screwed for!
-
£78995.00 is best really.
-
This is fun fantasy!
1,200,000 mill turnover
£240 vat+Say £300k running costs
That's £540,000 gone
You pay tax on profits so take that £300k away
so £900k gross
Leaves you with £487,714 after the vat bill
you are left with £247,000 aprox :)
Am I close to the mark any million pound window cleaners feel free to join In. !

You would if you had to go and knock on doors and collect it in from the "sorry mate the wifes not in" brigade. ;D

It is if you can do it without killing yourself , and without having to pay a full time wage.
