Work with me

A second pair of eyes on your margins.

I'm Pritpal, a solo founder in Victoria, Australia. I'm helping a few small retailers work out where their profit goes, free while I'm starting out. In return I'd like honest feedback, and to hear what problems you're facing.

The free margin check

You send me the selling price and cost for up to 10 products. I send you back a one-page summary showing:

  • Your profit per sale after card fees, shipping and returns
  • The break-even price for each product, the lowest price that doesn't lose money
  • How deep each product can be discounted before it starts losing money
  • Anything that looks off, such as a cost that seems too low or a product that loses money at full price

It uses the same maths as the free profit calculator and the guides on break-even price anddiscounts.

What I need from you

  • For up to 10 products: selling price, what each costs you, and any shipping you pay per order
  • Your payment fee (for example a percentage plus a fixed fee) and roughly what share of sales are returned
  • A simple list or spreadsheet is fine. No store access, passwords or tokens are needed.

What it costs

Nothing while I'm starting out, and only for a small number of stores. In return I'd like your honest feedback on whether it was useful and what was missing. I'll aim to reply within a few working days.

The honest limits. This is general information to help you think about pricing. It isn't tax, accounting or legal advice, and I can't see the whole of your business, so check big decisions with your accountant. I can't promise any result.

Ask for a check, or tell me your biggest problem

Even one line helps. What's the pricing or cost problem that annoys you most? If you'd like a free margin check, tick the box and I'll reply with what to send.

I use what you send only to reply to you and to learn what to build next. Please don't send passwords or access tokens. See the privacy policy.

Prefer email? Write to thinklauncher@gmail.com. I read and reply to every message myself.

What I don't do

I don't build websites or apps for other businesses, and I'll never ask for access to your store, your passwords or your tokens. Please don't send them.

If you'd rather try the tools yourself, start with the free calculators, or see thefounding merchants offer for help setting upMargin Guardrails or Landrio.
