Refreshing approach to pricing or folly..?

[Ty Korrigan]

Hello there,

For any-one interested in business life in France, whilst googling around I came across this business operating in my neck of the woods.

Interesting part about it is that they publish their day rates.

How do these rates compare with the U.K?

Worth bearing in mind that the tax rate here is more than 48.5% of profit after an automatic 40% allowance for business costs.

This means that the 2 person day rate of 375euros is 109 tax leaving 266euros with which to pay costs and 2 wages

Set the earnings against the French minimum wage of around 8.84euros

They are very 'popular' around here at the moment and no wonder with these published rates.

Their market is purely the Ex-pats who are really feeling the pinch since the fall of the pound against the euro.

I find the French are better payers all round.
