Plus more than likely will have to go VAT registered which is another cost paying it, and paying accountant to do it. Also the time it takes up employing people.

It isn't as bad as you think, you just need to grow some balls and take the jump.

Wages: easy
Payroll: Ask your accountant. Mine is £7.00 per employee.
Employers liability  and public: Mines £45.00 per month.
Tools and uniform: .....
Extra water: pence

Profit: LOADS!

What about national insurance and tax contributions?

It does add up!

That comes out of their wages, no my pocket

The holiday and sick comes out of the profit.

They get paid £10.00 per hour = £80.00 per day.
 
2 man van takes a bare minimum of £300.00 so £140.00 profit for the day.
Some gutter days it can go to £400 - £500 and the best I've had from one van is around £900.00

I only have 3 guys. In 2 vans.

1 is working all the regular domestic work.
There other 2 also have regular domestic work, but have the gutter vac in the van.

So van 1 is always busy all year.
Van 2 takes all the new work coming in and big jobs.

I take £3000.00 a month and the rest stays in the business account.

I work 9-11 on the computer then go gym until 1 and then do quotes after if I need to.

All you need to do is plan your day / month / year in advance and set goals.

Do your guys fuel the vans up out of there own money and pay tax and insurence themselfs?? Also mot and servicing. On top of that did they fund buying the van and not you??
If so then yes £140 profit out of a 2 man van!
I think you will find your profit is nowhere near £140 a day from a van.
You have done well but i think you need a reality check.
