I would try for an hourly rate. That way if you're not busy at first, you will only be paying when you are actually using the kitchen.

: I've been doing cakes for years and have been subletting a kitchen to do them but I stopped taking orders because the kitchen was just too far away. With two young boys and the cost of gas, it was too much.

Well now I am faced with the opportunity of subletting a kitchen here in town. They want me to come up with a proposal. The only problem is, I have cut off doing cakes for others than friends and family, so I have no guaranteed income.

I'd love to start back up again though. This kitchen is closed and unused completely after 4pm every night so I won't be a nuisance to them.

I was thinking of proposing an initial agreement of $100.00 a month, plus either 25% of the NET income or 10% off the top of my receipts to counter their expenses. That way, they make money when I do. If I get busy and start to book and need it more frequently, then I'd be willing to renegotiate the agreement to a higher flat rate.

What do you guys think?
