Hi GuysComing back to the concept of a price war, there are loads of cheap CC's offering cheap work, another is hardly going to make a difference.There are a much smaller group offering good quality, properly priced cleaning and I know where I want to be.CheersDoug
I often wonder what is cheapI know my calculaton is not very scientific. But I recon that if you employ someone on say £300 a week , cost of equipment , van advertising admin etc you need to take £1000 a week to make a reasonable margin

What ever floats your boat. But not for me.Edit, I don`t like him either. I'm not with you Robert, if you thought I was suggesting all jocks are like that I wasn't, it just reminded me of him and that he recommended the tactic to one of his partners.

are we all missing an important point. for there to be a price war you need more than 1 company, Susan going into an area with low prices doesn't make a war it just makes another cheap company what if the other companies doen't give a monkeys about her brother-in-law and just laugh at his low prices
starting it with who?
