I havent got one incase any of you are wondering 

But just as a bit of interest how big would you need to be to have a million pound business?

Say you have mostly a domestic round how many vans/workers/customers would you be talking you needed to reach the big million figure? Now im not looking an exact number of each as I know a lot of variables come into it but a rough figure to just get an idea

Is there any real success stories in the industry with guys doing similar?

Surely theres a few on here that have gone over the mil mark from the money some seem to be making

8333 custies at 4 wkly is what's needed at £12 average.
16 vans doing 25 custies a day on their own.
= £1.3 million
At a quick calc

Not as big as u think really , if u canvassed 3 new custies a day for a year that's 1095 new custies per year.
7.5 yrs and it could be any of us at £1million +
Scary eh

Do you mean a £1 Mil turn over a year?

You'd have to turn over £3,846 a day, 5 days a week, every week of the year to reach that. That's with no days off.

How many vans or staff, I have no idea I'm not a windie

Will let you know when i get there mate.
This time next year.

[Pete Thompson]

10 vans on the road, each van does say 40 houses a day at an average of £15 a house.  Say they work 45 weeks a year...

40 houses x £15 x 10vans = £6000 a day

£6000 x 5 days x 45 weeks = £1,350,000

So there's your answer, get 10 vans doing 40 houses a day and you'll be turning over just more than a mil

do-able!

[G Griffin]

It depends on what you define as a million pound business.
A business that could sell for a million, theoretically. A business with a million pounds worth of work. A million turnover. A million profit. But over how long. A million with assets. Without assets........and so on.
One with a million pounds worth of poles? Oh, that's Dazmond. 

[Stephen.C]

Or just get a side line like Mr wilts.

[richard jagger]

Stop dreaming and get back tp work. It ain't going to happen.

[roundbuilder]

Aim for a £250k turnover a year business although on paper it looks a lot easier than it is!. 5 vans out doing £200 a day. Or 4 vans £250 a day or even still 3 vans doing £330 a day or if your richard isparkle 2 vans doing 500 a day. All acheivable with the right work and right planning.
In 4 years you will turn over your million.

[H20cleaning]

I thought we were all millionairs.... must just be me then

[jimiwindows]

[Michael Peterson]

My plan to make a million is to target big, massive houses- not them pomme de terres Bateman does- and charge them a lot of money. Do the sills, doors, car port, everything and charge them about £500,000 each (depending on whether they've an outside tap, moved the wheelie bins and quality of biscuit on offer; I'd be expecting Viscounts  ).
I only need two more.

Mais oui, mais oui, Andy.
Ok, my French isn't le best but don't knock for trying to get half a million pound jobs. That's typical of CIU; someone shows some ambition and people trying to knock them down.
He who dares wins.

[andyM]

When you do make your first million Griff i'll be the first to buy you a drink.
None of that cheap continental wine crap, it will be chateauneuf (Tesco Finest).
