The question is what is the average profit of a 1-2 man operation with good equipment and steady customers?  Don't want anyone's financials just a ballpark figure

 
Thanks in advance

you can always tell who the new guy is...all these great questions..

the answer:  There is no answer..... I think it depends on the area you target.  Call average is the key....same two man working a middle class area won't make the same as two man working an upper class area.

sorry not trying to be an arse...but there is no simple formula... if I gave you numbers it would be for my area

Can 50-80k be made in a year minus consumables?.  I currently own a business (non carpet) and understand that the first 2 years are so so.  Just trying to get a feel for it.  The target area would be upper class to upper middle class with almost no competition in area.

Upper Class or Middle class or No class means nothing if the customer has no carpets to clean...........50 - 80 k is possible just by selling enough socks door to door as long as people buy from you.......almost no competition in any business is a green flag to go all out and start your business unless of course there is a reason that there is no competition in your area..I'm sure there is no competition in the South pole for a guy selling freezers , but there are no buyers either
 
Do your homework and survey the area by phone first, see what the market dictates and then you will have all your answers.........Have Fun. Phone

    With one truck you should be able to do $120K annually, bust your balls and you'll do alot more. Sit on your butt and you'll starve.
