What does it cost to be a tree surgeon?

This may be too private or personal for some.

 

I'm just wondering what the normal overheads as % of turnover would be.

There are all sorts of variables, but I'm just wondering what is the best we can do in this respect.

 

I haven't bought any major gear for a year so am just running with no excessive costs and I work alone a lot. My overheads are 33.3% of turnover or 1/3 rd. So £77 in every Hundred is taxable profit. I am honed to the bone in terms of not investing in the business, due to a possible change of location in the near future, so I don't invest too much in it.

 

Anyway just thought this might be an interesting one if its not too private. Perhaps generalisations from experience would protect privacy a bit.
