OK some rough numbers (very rough I didn't get quotes):

A 10 bay facility fully equipped, with ample parking in a neighbourhood that people will come to = $10K a month lease/payment ($120K year)


Liability insurance of $20 million a year (may not be enough in the sue happy U.S.) = $10K a month ($120K a year)


Building maintenance, tool replacement and equipment repair $20K a year


Four staff (may need more) wages, benefits, comp insurance costs, employment costs = $200K a year (If using skilled techs this could double)


Utilities, grounds upkeep = $10k a year


Business fees and taxes = $20 a year


Total expenses $490K a year (This is conservative with rough numbers provided by my plant Comptroller)


Rental at $20 an hour if all booths filled for 8 hours a day for 300 days = $480K


Soooo, unless you can cut some costs you are going to lose your shirt.
