    No no no sir. My labor rate is between 10.50 and 12.50. After taxes, workers comp, equipment and supplies, my cost is roughly 15-16.5/hr after gas and other misc expenses.

    I don't think you missed anything.. that means with 200 employee hours per week, that would be $156,000. and with 300 employee hours per week, that would be $234,000 (minus a few bigger expenses at that point like a manager, and a supervisor).. Profit man, profit :)

    I've gotten the customers I have now from referrals, cold calling, yelp, and other things. It may be true that cash flow can be an issue but I have other forms of income. - For bigger accounts like you are thinking $5000+ per month, margins are smaller and hourly rates are lower. In smaller...

    Another thing to note, i'm not going for huge accounts. Huge accounts will want cheap prices = small margins.. key is to target smaller accounts here. + many smaller businesses pay for my service (Nearly immediately or when i tell them too) when I'm able to show them what we actually do...
