Costs of running a business..

[benedmonds]

Doing my accounts for the last 9 months.

 

We have Landrover and TW190 and Iveco with TW250, 4x4 and stump grinder.

 

It costs us: BEFORE WAGES £336 per working day! How does that compare?

 

That is without any major purchases or depreciation included..

Have you ever worked out your costs per working day...?

 

Just thought I'd post as employees and lets be honest employers often have little idea what it costs to run a business. If I include renewing the trucks and chippers every 5 years I reckon add another £52 a day!

How much then?

£336 seems reasonable spread over two teams + 4x4/stumpy.

All depends what you're bringing in, though.

thats alot, I reckon before wages mine is more like £130 per day, thats all usual buisness costs, plus replace landy, mini digger+ attachments, tracked chipper, trailers etc from new every 10 years.Crikey if i had to pay £336 a day before wages I'd be on the stress thread all the time!
