Have you ever employed Stoots I’m not sure you have m8 but those figures don’t add up to anywhere near enough,in this game you can’t guarantee you will work everyday that’s why people on here that do employ are hellbent on working in terrible conditions weather wise coz they have to.
Earn 300 next day you don’t work that previous day gets chopped in half so on and so forth for subsequent days off,
I had 1 month last year that I had to pay a months wages coz he was sick unexpected van repairs,the month before 2k to Grippa lol,the best scenario is stay small get someone working full time and take a part time wage for doing nothing 🤣,
This here is the realistic stuff that can happen. I've kept an eye on the running costs and I'm realising how much it costs to run a business.
That's a dream in a small way working pt doing nothing lol, you can't make ends meet working/earning pt though in this day and age.
That depends what ends you need to meet.
I work maybe 20 to 25 hours a week on the glass and don't struggle .
If you did vat threshold 85k and paid someone 25k
That's 60k for the business/you. Which is probably more than an average sole operator window cleaner does on his own. You'd probably only need to work a day or 2 a week.
If you have 4 kids a massive mortgage, van finance, cars on lease, take holidays with floating beans and have no other household income then maybe it's tight.
For someone else with a small or no mortgage, a partner who also brings in and income, kids left home and no need for an extravagant lifestyle then you can live very comfortably.
So it depends.
