Marc,
Thank you for trying to help, but i don't think it will help change anything, in my town alone, over the past 25 years, there have been over 30 guys get their lic. and try their hand at the EC business, and here we are 25 years later, and we have the same 4 EC's still in business, and they have been operating just as you said, using known overhead and adding a small profit, I have seen them come, and i have seen them go, all good well quilified electricians.
