So, bottom line I would expect them to come away with at least 30% if not more.
I think in most service related businesses, if the owner isn't making 30% for himself, he's better off just getting a job!
Most successful business owners work 60 plus hours a week.
30% to the bottom line is not seen in many businesses. That is a huge profit. Think about it, a $3,000,000 revenue company’s owner would make $900,000! That doesn’t happen often.
