hi there

break even costs on staff, is a very difficult number to calculate, from a zero start.

your break even figure will reduce as client base increases.

your insurance costs will be dependant upon the type of customer you are going for, and the turnover level of yout business.

thanks martin. the insurance bit worries me a bit as dont want to be ripped of . at present we have five staff but could grow to 15 within two month "with a bit of good quoting"

hi there

business insurance, is calculated on a declaration of proposed facts for the next 12 months, ie turnover, wages etc, at the end of the 12 months at the renewal, you declare th eprevious 12 month figures and then estimate the next 12 months, your renewal premium for year 2 is based on the first year review and the second year estimate figures.
