After all 'turnover is vanity, profit is sanity' lol. Profit runs at about % Bloody hell mate % clear profit is an unreal return... No idea of your business but if you get that right for a few years you'll be a very wealthy man... Without going into the nitty gritty we've got to turn over a lot of money to make our returns, we're looking at clear company profits of 8-10% after everything, a lot of wages inc our own... You get a lot if bunces that help as well, it's a long road this business malarkey and probably harder now than ever... But if you get it right it's still there for anyone..
