Question regarding Pay

I am looking into getting into the BEA business and was wondering. I know that the usual pay is 10 percent. But if you are part of a team such as I would be when I first start. How do they pay for teams. Is it 10 percent of each or do the team split the money.

Also if an Bail bondsman is asking for 10 percent down from whomever is needing bail. How do they make there money if they have to pay 10 percent to the agents if the person skips.

These are a few questions that I had and was eating me alive tring to figure out. Help please.

10 PERCENT PLUS EXPENSES IS THE USUAL FEE SOME TRY TO GET 15 OR EVEN 20 PERCENT OF THE BOND. ALOT DEPENDS ON THE AGE OF THE CASE AND HOW CLOSE THE FORFITURE DATE IS AND WHO YOU ARE WORKING FOR IE YOUR REGULAR BONDSMEN OR A STRANGER.SOME BEAS WORK ON AN HOURLY RATE SOME BEAS ARE INHOUSE AND WORK ON SALERY
I AM AN INDEPENDANT AND WORK FOR PERCENT OF THE BOND AGAIN DEPENDING ON MANY FACTORS. I START AT 10 PERCENT PLUS EXPENSES AND SOME TIMES I WILL BE AS HIGH AS 25 PERCENT PLUS EXPENSES-I ALSO CHARGE A TRANSPORTATION FEE IF THE SKIP NEEDS TO BE DELIVERED MORE THAN 2 HOURS FROM THE POINT OF ARREST.
AS HOW I PAY MY TEAM GETS PAID - THAT DEPENDS ON THE AMOUNT OF THE BOND AND HOW MANY PEOPLE I HAVE ON MY TEAM THAT DAY.THE ONE THING I CAN PROMISE YOU ABOUT THIS BUSINESS IS THAT BILL GATES WILL ALWAYS MAKE MORE THAN YOU AND SOMETIMES THE PAPER BOY WILL CASH YOUR PAYCHECK AND MANY TIMES YOU WILL WORK A CASE AND COST IT OUT ONLY TO FIND YOU COULD HAVE MADE MORE PER HOUR FLIPPING BURGERS AT MCDONALDS.WHEN I SAY COST IT OUT I MEAN ADD YOUR COSTS AGAINST TIME AND MONEY OUTLAYED IE NEW UNDERWEAR YOU HAD TO BUY WHEN THE BULLET WHIZZED PAST YOUR EAR-AUTO INTERIOR RECON WHEN THE SKIP PUCKED ALL OVER THE BACK OF YOUR CAR WHILE TRANSPORTING HIM TO JAIL-NEW CLOTHS WHEN YOUR SKIP DECIDED HE DID NOT WANT TO GO TO JAIL SO THAT LITTLE SCUFFEL RIPPED THAT NEW BDU SHIRT AND NEW PANTS TO SHREDS-MAYBE EVEN NEW BOOTS BECAUSE THAT BLOODY NOSE YOU GOT WHEN THE SKIPS GIRL FRIEND HITS YOU IN THE SNOT LOCKER WITH A FRYING PAN AND THE BLOODS SOCK INTO THE BOOTS AND RUINS THEM-MAYBE NEW HAIR PLUGS WHEN THE SKIP GRABS YOUR HAIR AND PULLS OUT A PATCH(YOU DID NOT NEED THAT HAIR ON THE TOP ANYWAY) I ALMOST FORGOT HOW ABOUT THE BIG PERSENTAGE THAT GOES TO YOUR BLOODSUCKING ATTORNEY TO KEEP YOU OUT OF JAIL AND KEEP THE LIEING SKIPS FOR SUEING YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE BECAUSE YOU TRAUMATISED THIER PET PITBULL WHEN YOU OCED THE DOG SO HE DIDNT CHEW YOUR SCROTUM OFF-THAN THERES LITTLE EXTRAS LIKE INSURANCE FEES-DOCTOR BILLS(YOU WONT GO ANYWAY-THAT COMPOUND FRACTURE OF YOUR LEFT FEMUR WILL HEAL ALL BY IT SELF ANYWAY)
ASK ANY PRO BEA AROUND THIS IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG.

AS FOR HOW THE BONDSMEN PAY YOU(IF HE PAYS YOU AT ALL )
THE BONDSMEN WILL MOST LIKELY HAVE SOME COLLATERAL AND PAY YOU FROM THAT OR HE JUST TAKES IT OUT OF POCKET AS A BUSINESS LOSS OR HE JUST STIFFS YOU LIKE CAPITOL BONDING DID TO MANY BEAS-THAT MY BOY IS THE LIFE AND TIMES OF A BEA(I MUST BE CRAZY TO STILL BE DOING THIS-I NEED TO GET MY HEAD EXAMINED-OOPS FLAT BROKE-IT WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR THAT NEXT BIG BOUNTY

So what makes you sucessful in this business. I have talked with some people like Mel and they say you can make a lot of money if you do it right. So what is right and is it possible to make real money over the expenses that is. I have an accouning degree but have a passion for dealing with criminals. expecially ones that get away a second time. But altimatly the numbers have to make it work.

IT TAKES ALOT TO EXPLAIN MEL IS RIGHT THERE ARE SOME BEAS DOING HIGH FIVE FIGURES AND SOME DOING 6 FIGURES BUT THERE ARE MANY MORE THAT ARE LUCKY MAKING 20 GRAND DOING THIS FULL TIME.
MANY FACTORS COME INTO PLAY YOU HAVE TO APPOACH BEA LIKE ANYOTHER BUSINESS IF THIS IS YOUR ONLY INCOME-ARE YOU IN A HIGH BAIL STATE(SOME STATES OR COUNTIES TEND TO SET BAIL HIGHER FOR THE SAME OFFENSE THEN OTHERS)DO YOU HAVE BONDSMEN READY AND WILLING TO ASSIGN YOU SKIPS REMEMBER BUILDING A GOOD REP TAKES TIME-HOW WILL YOU GET BY UNTIL YOU MAKE MONEY-BUILD A GOOD BUSINESS PLAN-HERE IN MASS NH ME AND VT I AM CONTRACTED TO ALL THE BONDSMEN BUT ONE SMALL ONE IN VT AND MY TEAM DOES ALL THE WORK SO I CAN MAKE A LIVING PLUS I DO HIGH VOLUME AND HIGH END REPOSSESSIONS AND I HAVE A PENSION FROM NYPD-BEFORE YOU MAKE A DECISION BE REALISTIC IS THIS WHAT I WANT CAN I PUT IN THE TIME NEEDED DO I WANT TO RISK LIFE AND LIMB OR IS IT JUST A PIPE DREAM-MOST PRO BEA COME FROM THE ADVENTURE TRADES (POLICE-FEDS-MILITARY-DIGNITARY PROTECTION ETC.)AND COME INTO THE TRADE WITH CONTACTS AND CREDENTIALS--AGAIN I WISH YOU LUCK IN WHAT EVER YOU CHOOSE

The way it works with the company i'm with is the company keeps 2% and the two team members take 4% each (in case of a two man team). There are various structures for various situations.
