79*3=237 linear feet * $30 =
$7,110 average revenue per job
Average length: 3 days (2 working). = 1-2 jobs a week = 6 jobs a month
6 jobs * $7,110 = $42,660 a month

CASHFLOW:
$7,110 revenue per job
Cost of Material: $12 per linear foot

Labor (1 other guy) – 2 days of work - $20 an hour = 16 hours*$20 = $320 labor per job

TOTAL COST PER JOB: $3,364
CASHFLOW: $3,746 = 52% profit margin.

Positives of this business:
Profitable
Always needed. Fences get old and new houses

Negatives:
Hard to scale outside of your local area.
It is a “want” not a “need” business.

Think of ways it will fail:
SALES: Local SEO, local marketing, signage.
Quality: Installing a good fence. Take a training class
Showing up on time: Scheduling being organized.
