Salaries

Just wondering what everyone else out there with their own business pays themselves monthly?

[skyhuck]

As much as possible!

i dont pay my self any wage as such just take it when i need it.

[Mr. Bish]

Well I was doing OK until the sun came out at the start of Feb.

I am on buttons this month.

My target before that was only £1,200 a month. I am just starting really and struggled to get that much some of the months.

what he said

[Anna]

That is roughly what we pay ourselves. We are in our second year now since we changed the company name, things are starting to look up now though for us and hope to take on another member a staff full time very soon.

I draw £1500 - £2500 per month from my company, depending.

[Dagmar]

Realistically, I get around 30 weeks work a year. I need to average £1000 per week worked to keep it all going. So far its been OK but the last couple of months of 2007 were grim. This year is looking better with some lucrative orchard rejuvenate and relocation jobs to do later in the year, plus one mixed 9 acre complete removal.

[Log-ologist]

Technically as self employed I own whats left after business expenses which is about twice the rate of a good employed climber, probably.
