Explane to them that yuo were goin banrupt and your accountnt got you to a corse that told you to charge fair prices and only do work for peple that could afford good service.
everything has to rise fuel! insurance! running costs of small businesses! a price rise if not to excessive should be easily justifiable. If you think that you are charging a fair price, and someone is willing to work for less let them they will be the ones to find out in the long run, i for one would sooner be doing somthing else than doing a good job for **** all!
