But on the other hand, this is a monthly turnover, and simply annualizing this rate shows a return of 180%. Still about 20 times better than your average mutual fund. So it depends on how you look at it. [...] [...] On the one hand, 15% means I have to spend about $35k a month to get $40k for a profit of $5000 a month. Seems risky and capital intensive.

The bottom line is that their quality work is going to be the best barometer of their image. And their people/sales skills. And the fact that they're getting a lot of work through referrals. In the end, they fixed the old van up for now. Which is a great move. Gregg,

I'd definitely go with the $500 repair :D -Gregg Even if the old beat up van hurts their image, they can concentrate on other aspects of their business to gain a better first impression…such as how they deal with their customers and whatnot.

That's the thing; most of the reasons we can come up with to spend big on capital assets are just things to try and justify the expense when it's not warranted. For a startup, it's really important to build that "preservation of capital" mentality from the beginning. Hey Anthony,

It would be easy to justify over-spending, but in the beginning, the extra expense would probably drown you. I would have to agree with you conclusion.
