Luckily, most of you aren't my competition. I'm halfway across the country from you all.

Hmmm.... i figured about a 4% increase in my sales forecast. What did you factor for inventory and waste disposal? My advisor from SCORE suggested that i try to itemize/ or be more specific with the types of jobs that i do. I'm not sure how i can do that. Anyone have any suggestions?

Wow, seriously? No help? How about what you all figured when you started?

Hey guys,

I know you get this a lot, but I'm working on my business plan. My business plan is mostly done, I'm just trying to get the financial statement squared away. The biggest issue I have is finding concrete numbers that could support my potential business growth. I was wondering if you could let me know what your percentages were when you started your shops, and the rate of increase of your customer base as you grew. Any help you can give me would be fantastic!

Thank you

Joe, do you have anymore recent pics of the new expansion? I'm curious to see how it turned out.

I'm having a hard time finding any current data that shows that the independent repair shops are "kicking ass", cause it'd be really helpful for my business plan. Does anyone know where I can find this data?

Hello, I'm a new member, also looking for advice, for opening a shop. I haven't had a chance to read the blogs yet, but I look forward to anyone and everyone's guidance.
