Sorry Guy's I'm venting today but I spent 3 hours last night looking for stuff I know I have but couldn't find:
How many of you guys (girls) have a shop outside of your home. And how much does it cost you?? I have slightly over sized garage that's full, and (2X) 10' X 20' mini storages at a cost of $300.00 a month. I also use the formal living room in the house for the office, design and CAD ect area. I'm considering looking at some commercial space to get it all under one roof.
The problem is cost. If I look long and hard, I might find say 2000 square feet for $900.00 a month. Add another $300.00 for utilities and phone and we're at $1200.00 a month just to have a place to work. This doesn't include the insurance to cover all you expensive equipment. NOW let's say we make a minimum of 30% profit in our work and we've got plenty of work to do. This means we have to BILL $3600.00 a month to have the profit available just to pay the rent! and this means you don't get to pay YOURSELF ANY of the first $3600.00 of each month income.
How many members here are faced with the same problem? and what solutions are you considering?
