Learn the numbers that tell you whether the workshop is actually making money.

A busy workshop can still be a business that loses money.

A full diary does not tell you whether the labour rate covers the true cost of opening the doors, whether productive hours are being recovered, or whether parts and labour are carrying the right margin.

Use the numbers to understand your cost of doing business, labour recovery, margin and cash flow. You do not need to become an accountant. You need to know which figures move the business and what to do when one moves the wrong way.

It’s not rocket science. It’s pocket science.
