I paid just short of 3k for my insurance from trust. Makes me wonder if I got ripped off!

Been searching daily for a Unimog u2450 with arg spec but can't seem to find one. I need Something in good condition & with palfinger crane ideally behind the cab. Tipper. AC price have been looking for me with no luck so far. Just thought I would try here and see if anyone knows of somewhere I might have not tried yet Good budget for purchase.

All in a days work! anyone notice that he has ninja shoes on?

Richard it is high. But it depends on many things. Just now i need to make decisions to either to grow my business very big and have stressful time driving around doing quotes all day, dealing with clients more etc or stay smaller and enjoy the tree work & climbing and be happy to live on a reasonable wage. The problem is my phone doesn't stop ringing for jobs and after years of struggling its hard to turn away work. problem with growing a tree business is it takes the fun out of the job as i would rather be out working than stuck behind a desk.

Pete. For a 4-5man crew its actually around £1300 a day. 3 man crew i am happy with £900 + some days. everyone thinks they are making money until they need to replace 40k worth of equipment.

all our costs are different, day rates for subs are different. Take 100k. costs for fuel, insurances, repairs, etc etc - lets say around 30k a year. staff - 2 good guys at £100 a day is around 26k a year each. already at 80k! and thats just 2 guys out. a lot of jobs require 5 men on site. so out of 100k..you left with 20k. pay tax on that...left with lower wages that your subbies. After doing my own projections and working out every costs..lat minimum turnover needs to be more than 230k.

Yeah i spoke to an accountant with regards to this. This is turnover made in the new financial year for me. i run from Aug - Aug. kind of depressing. Been working my ass off for 16years doing tree work. now i am in position where i can actually make a decent living for myself and offer full -time work to couple of guys but the VAT threshold is holding me back. I need to turnover well over 250k if i am to offer 4-5 days week to a couple of guys on regular basis. if i can't turnover more than 200k then i will be worse off than doing 3 little jobs week with 1 groundsman.

This is something i am afraid of. VAT! I have managed to turnover just under 50k the first 2 months of my new tax year. which means if i keep going this way i will be vat reg. I have nightmares of driving around doing quotes all day and not winning any work due to the extra costs & i don't want to become that guy who just thinks about money all the time! I might need t take the rest of the year off work just to stay under the vat threshold.

The new Matt cornell harness from treestuff.com looks good. easy to customise. It looks tougher than the tree motion which I have 2 of and climbed on for around 5 years. This harness looks better for bigger guys also and more heavy duty. Time to reaplce my hanress and thinking about trying this one out. What do you guys think of it?
