that was put up a while ago, but £850 000 isn't that bad for a business turning £90, 000,a month, its not as though your gonna be doing any window washing , it would be purely a management role

Doesnt seem to bad to me, but would like to know how many men and vans it takes to keep it running

I suppose it depends on how much of the £90000 is profit

[j.v. price ltd]

I would love to know what profit there is in this

I would love to know what profit there is in this

exactly

5-10% wouldnt be too bad ! anymore would be brilliant!!!

But depends how you finance the purchase as that would be expensive to pay back, and so you would want a decent profit % in order to pay back a loan , or give equity away to an investor

If 2 guys put in 475 k each and there was profit of 20 % then theyre on 100 k eack a year
Not bad return really

Only one way to find out I guess, who's going to ask them?
