By the sounds of it your back won't let you do a lot of work, so there for you can't canvas extra to expand.  You could possibly try to expand and take a managerial role but then you don't have the financial backing.  One other option, examine your prices and give them a massive hike if appropriate.  But it really might be the time to throw the towel in and try something that your body will let you do.  You could sell the round and reinvest in something else or go payee.

Personally I would keep it all together, then if one employee is excelling you can give them more work, or again if someone is taking a little longer to get used to the job you can give them a smaller workload to start with. if its all together you can divide it how best suits you.

do what willis said about employing someone 16 hours per week, and spread it out at 4 hrs per day, easy £100 in 4 hours even for one man then use the afternoons and spare day to canvass

its only gonna cost you £95 a week to start with which is gonna leave you with 305 even though its a drop you will make it up soon with new work plus your work wil be on time more often which will probably make it up as im imagining you are nt always bang upto date if you get back pain plus bad weather etc

Good luck mate

where you based?
