processing) only consume 193% of revenue Your immediate goal is leveraging this high margin against significant fixed costs, primarily the $393,500 initial capital expenditure (CAPEX) for two trucks and $30,233 in monthly operating expenses By optimizing route density and prioritizing high-value Pool Filling services ($700 average revenue per unit), you can quickly move past the 34-month payback period The forecast shows EBITDA expanding from \u003cstrong\u003e$107,000\u003c\/strong\u003e in Year 1 to \u003cstrong\u003e$855,000\u003c\/strong\u003e by Year 5, pushing the EBITDA margin from 17%
