No way I would sub in a man and machine in for £500, I pay £300+VAT for a day and £175+VAT for half day. I would not expect 8 hours with no breaks mind.

 

£500 direct to the customer may be achievable, but seems very high to me, many two man gangs with truck and chipper, are not charging that.

 

Just out of interest, what are a two man gang charging around your way?

Varies greatly, but most seem to be around the £350 to £450 range.

 

Considering many are not VAT reg, they can't charge much more.

You can charge considerably more, so long as your work is of high standard

Its not easy, but experience helps, IMO.

 

You need to value your time and charge accordingly, then hold your nerve, easier said than done.

 

Getting offered more work than you need is the secret, you can put in the price you want and don't need to win them all.

When your turnover hits a little under £80K, you much go VAT reg, obviously the amount you charge dictates whether you hit £80K or not
