PROJECTIONS
INSTALLATION:
One crew of three experienced men can install one system every 2 days
Value $2500. One crew can produce 100 jobs per season = $250,000 Revenue.
In your first year of operations a conservative projection would be
to produce half of this number and your crew would consist of yourself
as foreman.
SERVICE:
At the end of your first year, you will need to blow
the lines to prevent the pipes from freezing. This annual service is
called a "Blow-Out". You will also conduct repairs for broken
heads and cut lines. Service is ongoing throughout the season. Service
Revenues can grow from $5,000 in your first year to over $100,000 by
year five.
PROFIT MARGINS:
Your average margin of profit is 30 percent.
NOTES:
Once you reach a customer base of 300 clients, you will be well on your
way to healthy income and ongoing retirement plan which generates income
each and every season. |
