How much money is your business making per month?

Are you part time or full time?

I doubt you`ll get much feedback with that question. That`s a topic that most don`t share openly, for good reason.

Net income around 11ty dollars per month, depending on the season it fluctuates 3.7 to 7.3 points on a bell curve scale and you`ve got to account for all the real maple syrup we use.

Recession, what?

You numbers are off also....

$3k a month? Work at Burger King, you`ll get health insurance also..

If you are doing this full time and making less than $3000 a month you need to find a way to increase your income or do something else...and that applies to pretty much any job.

I do not think you will find too many people who will volunteer their financial information. What I will say though, as with any business, the first few years can be tough. It takes time to build a solid customer base. What is important is that your business grows from one year to the next, and that you takes steps to grow your business. For me, being in business is a long term thing. I plan to build my business and get it to the point where I can either sell it, or have others run the day-to-day for me. Too many get into detailing, and other businesses for that matter, expecting to make a quick and easy dollar. Most successful business owners did not become hugely successful overnight.

I also think you need to rethink your numbers, unless you are talking about net profit once all is paid(including your wage). The $3000 you state is a good base weekly number for a singler opperator, it`s less than what we pay our employees per month(our average pay check before deductions is close to $900 per week). For someone in business you have to take into account your overhead, insurance, taxes, licences, and a whole plethora of other expenses, not just what you desire as a wage.

I would say full time you should make 3 grand a week. Maybe in the off season make under that, but that is not a good number to be making a month. That is just my opinion. By the time I factor in all of my insurances, truck payments, payroll, products, etc... your already over 3 thousand with just that.
