I was told a couple of years ago that if we consistently make "no" income, or are in the negative, as it sometimes happens during the first few years of a business, the government smells a rat. The idea being, if you have been doing this for 5 years and still earn ZERO income, you probably aren't going to keep at it, so something must be up. Basically, we have to show a little bit of profit, even if it's only 5 grand or so.
