What to say
“Hi, I’m testing this idea with help from my parent or carer. I’ll explain exactly what is included and the price before we begin. Would you like to hear how it works? No problem if not.”
Understand the numbers
A simple money example
At £7 per car, five cars produce £35 revenue. If supplies used cost £5, that leaves £30 profit.
Revenue - every real cost = actual profit.
