Profit verses Turnover. Know the Difference 📈
Big turnover can look like success. You have plenty of work booked, money moving through your accounts and a busy calendar.
But turnover isn’t what you keep, profit is.
Once you take out labour, materials, overheads, fuel, tax and other costs, the number that really matters is what’s left. That’s your profit.
A business can turn over big numbers every year and still feel constantly tight on cash if the margins aren’t right. That’s why understanding your numbers matters.
Not just how much work you’re doing, but how much each job is actually making. Focus on profit, not just workload.
