Is Picture Framing Business Profitable

The average wage is approximately $30,000 a year, but many independent picture framers find that the convenience of working out of their home in their own business can offset some income limitations.

Can you make money making picture frames?

How much profit can a picture framing business make? A typical retail store will have gross revenues of about $200,000 or more per year and the profits are around 15% for the owner, after paying all the expenses.

Why is framing a picture so expensive?

According to Mark Klostermeyer, a member of the Professional Picture Frames Association, it’s the sheer amount of mattings, moldings, glazings, and frames a shop provides that drives up prices. The fewer options a business offers, the more able they are to order in bulk, therefore cutting down costs.
