you have to understand the people who are selling are married and is a totaly different situation. i do not know the exact amount of income from the shop or the exact amount of outgoings. it could be a lot higher and that is what you put away and save. your business would fail within 12 months if operated as you suggest and i will not through money away because of a greedy approach. yes you may be able to get 15,000 a month but when you need the cash to buy a new or bigger deep fryer, where is that money going to come from. Are you going to buy it out of your money...No the business buys it, but you need the cash savings to do that. At the end of every year you may be able to take a small bonus of 10% out of the savings.
