108 is reasonable. I did a very quick break down of figures that resulted in 188 per day to work a two man team before wages. scary stuff

That's a lot of money to find each day.

 

I'd never sleep if I'd got to find it.

Do you think £108/day is a lot to run a van and chipper?

 

 

Fair point, I guess I presume he has some sort of yard to consider and he hasn't stated turnover if you're doing enough work then I can see a van and chipper set up starting to cost a lot to run as it becomes inefficient, I certainly spent a lot more on diesel and repairs before I got set up with my lorry, so yeah if he's quite busy with a fair advertising spend that figure seems alright.

£271.00 per day including 2 staff. Some of the smaller domestic work costs me money to take on.

When I did a business plan as part of resettlement, mine came in at £100 a day. Now I've been doing it a while and know all the little extras, your £108 seems reasonable
