The numbers don't add up unfortunately. Even if you sold a total of 25 bikes last year and made £500.00 on each (highly unlikely) that would still only give you a total of £12,500*
*profit remember, not turnover.
Lets say you sold a load of bike bits and pieces as well and made 50% mark up(probably not though) on each. and made 10k profit after tax etc thats still only £22,500 take away old minky and your left with £20.5k. Not exactly mega bucks is it.
I just don't understand how you can say one thing "being shrewd" yet in the next breath tell it how it is.
You sell a few bikes. Good on you so do quite a few people on here.
But its not a great business enterprise. It allows someone to make a little money from what they enjoy.
