I think it's pretty safe to assume he was talking about the overhead percentage, not the actual amount.

How do you figure that could be? You must have a different idea of 'overhead' than I do.

As a percentage of sales, the one man shop has a higher overhead than a large company. As a dollar figure the one man shop overhead is lower. That assumes the boss is making about the same amount of money in both outfits.

Overhead is what you make it. If I have to make 100K per year, that's a starting point. I also figure everything that directly has to with the business, including, but not limited to assorted insurance, parts, tools, equipment, etc.

Oh, and I don't make anywhere near 100K.
