They are just getting by I assume and weathering the storm, by having a small amount of money coming in and not making a profit, but staying alive. -- Customers Guaranteed Visit the New Magician website also with green initiatives Try my FREE Event Planners Toolbar no cost and no signups

It seems more prevalent in recent months for bigger event companies to buy events business by going in at really low margins as low as 5%. In fact, companies who truly live by a 5% rule alone should not survive the long term, so how do they continue to survive?
