sorry, i understand what you are saying. I am wanting to talk to people who turn over more than 250k as i want to ask them questions regarding the structure of their business, how they got to that turnover what systems they have in place for that size business etc. I turn over only half of that at present and want to expand but need some guidance, any help would be really appreciated.

We are well in that bracket but I don,t recall doing anything different other than getting admin and supervisory help when I realised I needed it.

If you doing 10K a month you are likely to have a few customers, say it is 20 regular, keep them, get another 5, another 5 etc, your half way there.

The other option would be to buy out another business. Prefer the former though.

hi there

the turnover is irrelevant, the profitability % is the thing you need to get under control first, and then scale up, as you increase your turnover in a service industry, you will erode your profit percentage buy a few points.

build clean companies regularly have high turnovers, but there profits are tight.

one way is to add value.  add value to your service, how you do that is down to you.
