General rule of thumb, take your costs for supplies, wages to pay yourself, travel expenses, insurance (break this down by the monthly expense by the number of hours that you work it might be like a dollar per hour or a dollar per minute but add that to your total)
once you have a total x2 if you have a lot of competitors or x3 if you do not.
When you answer phone calls and emails let your current clients know and that you have a new vice president manager assistant etc so that they are prepared to have to deal with somebody else.
Also make sure that they know how capable you believe the person is and how wonderful they are.
