£76k turnover with 6 employees..... am I missing something?

grown to!!!! and growing as it says mate

business info
I took on two people to do what I had whilst I canvassed and grow more work
took on another to take care of that work with me and help canvass and grow good public image
took on another whilst they did the work whilst I canvassed and work with me doing new jobs and canvas
no more canvassing just straight leads
etc etc

Good stuff Danny
LinkedIn invite sent to you.

76k turnover last year with 110k projected for 2017. Impressive.

 6 employees I'd imagine this is recently taken on staff for 2017 yes? So that's approx 36k per employee correction: £18k, seems a bit on the very low to me that but then again with 6 staff you should be getting towards 300k a year turnover by the end of the 2017-2018 financial year. Approx 50k per employee is what you need in my opinion.

I take it you are VAT registered/about to register as you are near the threshold.

Are you LTD company? Sole trader turning over this kind of money will attract HMRC so be careful. (Been there before)

Your numbers seem way off, however I'd like to link in with you.

The last financial year ended 2 weeks ago so you've either had an incredible 2 weeks or you have a considerable deficit?

thank you Marc
will gladly connect on linked in
I'm a sole trader, yeah I'm fully aware of my obligations to hmrc and vat responsibilities. No I'm not there yet but I in constant connection with my accountant monitoring it.
staff pay is not that high but they understand the way we are building up gradually together. everyone is above/well above living wage limits and constantly going up with regard to working criteria. Also well above other window cleaners locally. I try to create the best environment and job satisfaction levels for them. everything is all above board too, not like others I have known and worked for previously.
honesty and openness is something that has helped with our growth and the staying power of most employees.
thanks for your comments
Danny

As employee numbers build over the past few years so have there number of hours, starters only do a few days for a few months to settle in and build up the work levels to consistently work. then someone may leave/asked to leave and then go through it all again. a few frogs before the window cleaner comes along.

why would (if that was the case) would that be funny.
work is work for love or money
we have turned over that the past year whilst everybody hours grow who were on at the time, taken on new workers and lots of new work?

5 employees plus himself.
£110k expected this year, still trying to work out how Marc came up with £36k per employee.

then starts to do that work with growing hours, then another came on starting on afew hours cleaning , then a few ticketing, whilst that builds then does more hours
and so on and so on

you are missing the point of projected work each year and taking on an employee to work that part of the round!

Indeed, but all above board and only turning over 70-oddK? Pensions, holiday/sick pay, NI contributions etc?
 Surely they can't be doing many hours or that desperate to line someone else's pockets?

Er I'm sorry Danny but you have just completely blown it there.

What a load of absolute rubbish! It is very very clear to me you have no understanding of business at all.

So you turned over 76k with 6 staff and made 50% profit!!! Haha!!!  So that means each of your staff earned £6300.00 for the year. Oh and that doesn't account for any other expenses like running a van!!!

This is a bit like when you watch dragons den and it's all going well until the numbers bit and then we see they have no idea at all.

Danny your numbers simply don't add up mate. And believe me I should know. Each of my team turn over that much a year. 6!!! Lies mate just lies.

On the off chance this rubbish is true I put it to you that you have a terrible business and that a person would be mad to take any advice from you based on those numbers!

Ok now let me show you mine.

11 vans 9 currently out 2 more going out this year. Everyone purchased brand new and all with hot water.

£650,000.00 annual turnover

£800k target with 12 months

Profit on that is my business and I'm not telling so there.

2 full time office staff plus me, plus staffed call centre backing that up.

£100k spent last year on marketing

State of the art office and one of if not the biggest static filtration system in the country.

The only window cleaning company in the uk to deliver 1million leaflets in a year.

The first and only uk window cleaning company to advertise on TV.

So members of the forum, as long as you don't cover areas we do and are not someone that has been rude to me here in the past, you are welcome to contact my office any time for FREE advice on literally ANY aspect of running or growing your business.

Danny I won't be investing in you, I'm out!

[danny@thepersonalcoachinggroup]

well yeah full time plus what were part timers now full timers is it really hard for you understand)))
all my employees young and old are respected and supported fully as for what they want to get out of it.
last financial year one had used up all holiday and wanted a week off to spend time with his family. so do you know what happened? granted time off with early wage advance!!! there is something within those sentences you may understand with regard to employee job satisfaction and work life balance
