Is it worth it?

[firewoodman]

yeah, thats dec.

 

what about the rest of the year???

[samtheman365]

so 500cube=approx 1000 dumpy bags (as an example)=10bags a day at £50 a pop=£500 a day, 2.5k week, 10k month, 50k oct-march give or take, correct?

 

-20k wage, -5k return on initial investment=25k for overheads/buying in timber correct?

 

say 2 cube to the green tonn= 250 tonn of wood needed a year say £35 tonne delivered 250x£35=£8750 sound right? if so the rest of youre money needs to be spent on wood

 

now youre left with 16k for other overheads/running costs/tax

 

sound correct give or take?

sounds right but i have had a few beers

I was always told if a business was viable it should be able to operate on 50% capacity or 50% extra costs.

 

so if your looking at selling 25 cube a week do the sums on 13 per week it should wipe it`s feet

 

good luck sam and i hope your internet businesses take off!!

well that STINKS:001_tt2:

[gensetsteve]

yeah, thats dec.

 

what about the rest of the year???

 

Not much in March, april, may, june, july or august but I did say it was part time:lol:

[Darren]

but he said over heads wher zero , not out lay, overhaeds are such as fuel,repairs, maintance, advertsing,etc or have i had a hard day

 

I would of thought 22k was a overhead. His not going to make a profit until he has seen a return on his investment. It was a long day yesterday maybe I'm missing the point.

[detritus21]

Just another thought its not that easy to build a client base. From a log point of view it can be difficult to break into the market place if you have other competitors nearby. There is one near me that is mass production on the firewood front and it doesn't matter that my prices are 20% or more lower than them, it is difficult to gain custum. The appropriate advertising should work but finding what is appropriate is the hard part. Good luck.
