Need advice on $$ number
I know its not entirely related but . . .
Ive very recently started a limited company with myself as the owner/operator. Ive done it all properly and own the name of the company/domain, gotten public liability insurance, business banking ect. It's a handyman/property maintenance company and im signing contractual paperwork with a property managers group and i have to put down my own hourly rate, so was wondering if anyone had any advice as to what a good fair rate would be? Taking into account, business expenses, fuel and insurance, holiday pay, tax and acc and also sick days? Ive heard alot of fellas setting their price so low by mistake that by the time they've covered everything they end up making less than the knuckle head working at the local drive thru. Ive been recommended to start at $75ph but want a second opinion, would that be to much? Or is that a good fair number?
Any advice is very welcome and appreciated
Cheers,
