Humm, 60k a year in expenses? That lease with the state must be cheap considering the other expenses with a biz like that.

Grosses $180K but wants $660K for it.

Now that's just ghey.

Wonder what all that blue sky value is supposed to be tied to.

Insurance is probably the largest expense. I know in Colorado, it was suggested someone in a business like this carry at least $5,000,000 in overall insurance, per vehicle. So that's not too cheap each year, and I'm sure CA would require more (and cost more) due to all the residents of the Peoples Republic of Berkeley. Colorado's US Forest Service also would take something like 10% I think from your income.

Do the research...

As an operator, which was been impossible to obtain for about 10 years or more, you must have a contract with the USFS to operate on their lands. And in that contract, there is a percentage that they take from the business. But the barriers to entry might change once a capacity study is approved for the White River National Forest. Pike and San Isabel are also in a similar position.

So maybe I should say, you're buying the operating license in that price above, which is impossible to get in some areas.

Also, the insurance is very high. There is a $1,000,000 mini from the Colorado Public Utilities Comission on all Luxury limo services in the state. A good insurance adviser would probably suggest at least that much coverage, especially with a number of passengers. Each vehicle should be covered, in case you have a really, really bad day... Otherwise, you'd have to up your umbrella coverage signficantly. If you wanted to protect yourself in the event of an accident. Or you could just hope no one sues if two vehicles with 5 passengers each, and three familes total, roll over and kill or injure all the occupants... I'd think a $20,000,000 umbrella might come in handy there!

From Colorado PUC:

Off Road Charter. A carrier with this type of permit operates motor vehicles that transport passengers to scenic points in Colorado. Several restrictions apply: (1) a portion of the travel must be off the paved roads, (2) travel may not be to commercial locations, and (3) travel originates and terminates at the same location. The vehicles must be operated on a charter basis (the transportation must be exclusively provided to a single group of persons; the group directs the operation of the vehicle, including origin, destination, route, and stops). For this type of carrier, the Commission regulates only registration, insurance, and safety.

You're a fucking idiot. You don't have liability insurance on a per vehicle basis in a business. The business has overall liability insurance coverage.

Does it hurt when you try to think?
