I guess it would have to be the minute. or it could be the service provided. P.S is there such thing as an hour? I'm shocked I am..I feel cheated today we are married 15 years and i'd safly say if all the time in the sack was added up we'd bearly make it an hour... Oh and by the way a child bride I was...

Oh yes, double ended sprays are classed as a special so cost more, specially if you do them without protection*

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it already but back to basic's, work out your 'break even' then you can see where you stand. I need atleast £60+ per day to break even. Im a new business so thats my aim. I know its ridiculous, because we cant predict whos gunna come through the door.

List all the bills into a 'per day'
List average flower costs 'per day'
List any rental (card terminal, balloon gas etc.) 'per day'

Add them all up.

This is the minimum you need to take to break even, without making a profit. Below, trouble, above and you are poss making a profit.

If you have staff, take them into account too!
So that could be:

Water
Elec
Shop rental
Council rates
Internet
Streamline
BOC gas
Flower Wholesale
Plant Wholesale
(gifts i dont take into account cos there 'sitting stock')
Van insurance
shop insurance
buildings insurance
Any repair/depreciation costs

etc. probs missed loads off, but thats off the top of my head!


Hope it helps you a little!

Thanks amanda.. my hubby ( the tight hole is taking over that and i think he is like you said doing it similar to that) I impressed myself yesterday, there was a wedding show in one of the wholesalers and i went with a budget of €200 in mind and i did not go over it I only bought what I really needed, usually I could leave around €1-2 K, so hopefully I can ull it back and at least pay myself from now on...How much do you ladies allow yourself as a wage. i'm thinking €200 which is around £160... ???
