Profits for the SS1200 are one-half of above figures *Note: The above profit figures are for owner-operators at full speed production and sales. For absentee or commercial in-store type locations you should deduct the labor and overhead costs you allocate to your Lil' Orbits operation and allow 3% for shrinkage and electrical costs. Profits may also vary due to local supply costs.
