its true what has been said, 100 k isnt alot in profit figures if you have 4 staff :) 

Its not a lot?
But someone on there own could be knocking out 50 k plus and making similar, however from the 100 k you would have the foundation to grow your business and your quantity of work, from which your profit will grow

I am not bothered about turning over vast sums, just a good sole trader life stlye business, if in the future i want to get off the tools, i will go down the franchise route, less complicated! less overheads


No no, if in future you wanna get off the tools, consider a career in business advice to window cleaners, they'll never know the difference !!!!

why dont you read the end of the sentence you idiot

100k isnt alot in profit IF YOU HAVE 4 STAFF DOING IT

and if you have 50k for one man , it is pretty much the same


SO THE CONCLUSION IS TURNOVER ISNT EVERYTHING!!!!

if however you turn over 100 k with part time help , then you profit some good money

Perhaps if you wanna get off the tools you should learn to read
I'm reading fine. I'm also understanding the difference between profit and turnover. I'm an even bigger idiot than you imagine. I think 100k profit is great even if you have 10 men working for you. Thats how stupid i am.

100 k turn over i am talkin about, i must admit it isnt as clear to read as i thought,   so i will let you off this once :)

My point is, 100 k turnover isnt a GOOD business, if it takes 4 guys to do it, ie too much costs, not enough profit, whereas one guy could profit a similar figure alone with good work

So some businesses may SEEM big, but are really just busy fools

i have been out canvassing commercial today and it seems alot of big commercial companies are busy fools, making money by doing shoddy work
