Profit margins

[Focus2.0Zetec]

I'm looking into producing an engineered product in small numbers (Less than 250). I'd be selling this product through an established agency and I’m just looking for an approximate profit margin I should apply to my costing. I know the agency will be able to offer advice on this but their no exactly impartial, any info is greatly appreciated.

Can't you find out what other businesses charge for similar services?

You mean the percentage of your profit you will pay the agency?

[srebbe64]

I'd charge whatever the maximum that the market will bear.

Typical retail price is 7-10x the manufactured cost.
Given the low volume and selling via agency, you may have to work on 5x max otherwise it's not going to provide profit or attract enough interest.
