Not true.

There are so many variables. Comparing like for like is ok, though even then leverage, wages, rent etc can skew costs.

A weak climber and weak groundie would be cheap, and if they had top end gear they'd be expensive to run. Using sub-contractors with some of their own kit is a cheaper model as their are no training costs, holidays, NI etc.

 

Too many variables.

 

Look at your costs, add profit, new kit and screw-ups divide it into the number of days a year you wish to work. This may give you a fair indicator. Don't forget to factor time spent quoting, marketing, holidays, training and admin.

 

FYI we look for £100k+

 

Of cause this is correct, but then if we are not going to generalise a bit the whole thread is pointless.

 

What I do think is that when comparing Co's with lowest turnovers with those with the highest, the biggest difference will be in profit.

 

One problem is many don't understand all their costs and fail to take them all into account.
