Fair point. You can buy into it for 30,000 grand and you get all equipment but I was thinking if he needed to work on a Saturday the money can't be great. Say he does 2 jobs a day and gets 300 quid, thats onoly 1500 quid a week (week days) and you need to take tax off that.
78k is of course shite money!

My mate owns Primers who do the same job, he owns 8 vans (obviously with 8 blokes), I must tell him to get a job with chipsaway!

I've had bad experiences with them. In the end they paid for a proper body shop to do the job.

You can't paint a car properly in the open air - too many contaminants.

How much do you think he would take out of that then, once tax and materials have been taken off?
