Ok straight talking and Economics.
How long it takes you to get the costs back will depend on you and how you work, your price structure, ( Are your prices going up to help cover the cost of investment?) and the size of your round.
My Van was bought with cash, on the road with road tax incl vat, everything £9800.00.
It will Easily last me 10 yrs which averages out at £20 a week or 40 mins work a week, peanuts.
All my wfp equipment, spares, backpack, 40 40 Ro set up in the garage. Facelift fitting the van cost me £5200.00 approx, I have not spent anything else since, but I did buy spares for everything, oh I just bought a new battery charger another £78.00.
I Estimated if I earned another £5,000 a year more then I got trad cleaning everything would be paid of in 3 years. I thought that sounded reasonable. How am I doing after 40 weeks wfp?
Bloody marvelous thanks. After 40 weeks of wfp I am £1,000 short of covering the entire cost of wfp set up including the van costs. Remmber that is extra money earned over and above what I used to get Trad w/c. I am compareing directly with my trad w/c wage from last year which was my best ever, just.
My prices went up at the beginning of the year by 20% across the board because of my investment in wfp. I have done extra jobs like con roofs and Facias and I have got more work, but I am still not working any longer hours then last year. I am faster, pure and simple with wfp.
Everyone may vary as to how much more they can earn, I am just putting down how it as helped me financially and hoe quick I have been able to pay back my investmant.
I for one am glad I bought the right set up for me and how I work,That as been as a direct result of the freindly advice I received on this forum.
Is a good system worth paying for. You bet it is.
