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 ------------- www.mr-steamer.com |

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.
