I had an average of 20-25 employees and didn’t want to get any bigger.

I don’t delegate authority to anyone and take full responsibility for all company actions because they are mine personally!

that’s probably why you are small time and had to work 50 yrs

Combining the information from your posts #14 and #34...

In over 50 years of business I never borrowed one cent and did between 1 and 2 million a year.

I had an average of 20-25 employees and didn’t want to get any bigger.

That's a kind of wide range when you look at it (2 million/20 = $100k revenue/employee to 1 million/25 = only 40k revenue /employee)...without overhead, taxes, physical plant, inventory, not to mention your own pay. What was your average employee salary and benefits? How were your workman's comp bills?

Or did you employ Pedro and Juan under the table by any chance?

Cheers!
