Hello,
I'm looking for business to buy ( restaurant or cafeteria) and often they write "gross profit XX%"
The ting confusing me is: is the gorss profit normaly the profit left after all the expences and costs for runing the business, just before taxes (corporation or sole trader)? In this case we sustract taxes from the gross profit and the result is the net profit.
Or it is simly the difference between the price paid for buy the goods and the price you sell it? In this case "the gross profit" is only the ratio/margin.
I find it's a quiet confusing way to advertise the business to sell.
It's a huge difference when you mean 68% gross profit on buing/selling a slice of bacon, and 68% gross profit at the end of the year all expences paid (rent, wages, bills etc) and only one ting to pay is your taxes..
Has someone an idea what must mean the "gross profit" when you buy one business? Thanks
