Default Re: Starting Plumbing Business

Hi

Just a couple of points to add to the good advice above:

- I would see an accountant in public practice first to establish all of your compliance registrations.

- Ask the same person how you should work out your charge out rates & how to calculate the overheads you will have to cover with those rates. This is the most basic function you must stay on top of.

- If you are not fully confident about doing your financials, engage a book keeper to do it for a start and concentrate your efforts on looking at each job & the profit made; your billing system; & establishing some of the marketing ideas suggested already.

Good luck.
