Hey guys and gals, those of you who have businesses working on people's cars for a living, what's your all in cost monthly? Including how many employees you have. Just looking for a range, thinking of going out on my own.

I do seats, media blasting seat frames, prime, paint, new burlap, foam if available, repair foam if not, new bunting, muslin & seat cover installation.

No employees though, one man shop here. Cost varies month to month & I have not figured it out that way ever.

I guess what I'm looking for is the costs you can count on, rent if you pay it, electricity and water. As far as your other stuff what's the average if you had to guess?
