A buddy of mine owns a commercial carpet cleaning business in the NYC metro. His company operates at around 20% profit after salaries, benefits, equipment repair/replace (replaced all generators this year), chemicals, garage rent for his 3 trucks, etc.

I'm not saying you can't get away with less equipment, staff, etc, but you aren't able to scale the work up.

That's sounds pretty great and you could probably replace yourself, leaving you with some nice residual income.
