I just happened to think of this last night. Most start out in a small shed or shop and then work for bigger & better everything. Well I wondered are gross profits proportional to shop square footage?

Last season I was in a smaller shop and grossed $65.10/sq ft. This year, in my new & bigger shop, I have grossed $51.97/sq ft. Prime Seasons increased business by about 35% from last year so the numbers are really just nonsense i.e. for fun...

Don't tell us what your sq footage or gross profit is, just how much you earned per sq ft.

Thanks!!!

I am embarrassed to state mine. My shop area is very large (about 7Ksf) compared to my operation.

How do you get an answer if you have no shop. All of my work is done in the driveway or in the yard. Am I making nothing or do I go with my gross income? LOL

What formula are you guys using to figure this?? With the difference in #'s just want to make sure we're all on the same page.

If I take gross / sq footage. I'm about $54 per square foot.
