Some days you think you a millionaire in the cleaning business but mark my words its extremely hard going in today's cost of living prices. You have to be very disciplined to make money consistently.

Yea it's not easy at the moment. Thanks for watching, all the best

[@richardgreen7621]

Been doing it for 8 years now and work for another company alongside my business wouldn't do anything else at the moment 😅

Window cleaning is one of the most flooded industry’s out there. Yes you can earn well, but you need to get work. There’s only a certain amount of work out there. Everyone thinks they can do it properly, £60 an hour doesn’t work out to 150k per year. If you earn over 85k as a Ltd comoany you have to pay 20% vat on your prices. Expenses equate to about £2000 per month so do not be fooled

Hi mate, thanks for the comment. Yes you have to pay vat even as a sole trader above 85k, not just limited companies but yes that is something to think about. Thanks for the comment

Well said.

[@GlideLtd]

Thanks bro. Can get frustrating when people try and work out your worth just from their invoice so I thought I'd make this video to explain why I don't have a Ferrari 🤣

@@GlideLtd When I used to work for a company my 'charge out' rate was about 4 times my hourly rate due to overheads etc. People don't realise all the costs that go with being self employed. Great video.

[@GlideLtd]

Exactly, totally agree. Thanks so much for watching 👍

Who are you aiming this at? Most reasonably educated people/customers expect us to have expense’s, and if they do your style of maths I let them think they’re right.

Hi Tony, thanks for watching. You would think so but over the years, we have come across many clients who expect a low-skilled job to be charging close to minimum wage as they don't realise just quite how expensive running a business is these days. We have even had bad feedback and reviews where customers have been quoted a price, and are happy with the quality of service but are upset that we earned what they perceive as £50/£60/£70 an hour or similar. So in answer to your questions this video is aimed primarily at potential clients who might not realise just how little of the money we earn actually goes into our pockets. And secondly at other tradesmen, such as yourself, that might find this video interesting. Again thanks for watching and have a lovely week. Thanks, Dom

Taxes...taxes taxes....

[@DomEvans]

Yes... Yes... Yes... 😜

[@GlideLtd]

Yes got to pay those taxes. I didn't talk about it because gross and net isn't that fun and isn't differrent from being employeed. 😃

@@GlideLtdgot to pay those taxes 😂 why? Pay taxes on wages, then taxes on food,then fuel,then gas,then water,then vat!! On and on it goes and people wonder why life is so hard.
