Potential Earnings
Your potential earnings are dependent on many variables:
- How many hours you are prepared to work
- How driven and motivated you are.
- How well you market your business.
- What type of area you live in. If you live in a city, you will probably be surrounded by large schools you can supply. If you live in the countryside (lucky you!), you will have to travel further to deliver to schools.
- How affluent your area is i.e. the spending power of the children. Surprisingly this isn’t as obvious as it may seem at first!
- Whether or not you just want to work term time. Our adult Snack Bags have a greater profit margin than our Mini Snack Bags so your profits will increase if you are prepared to deliver to offices, gyms, clubs etc.
To give you a very approximate idea for profits, for 20 semi-rural schools per week:
Profit £500 / Time required 12 hours
This is net profit; expenses such as travel and management fee have been taken into account.
You can multiply up the number of schools to suit the number of hours you wish to work.
