If he's getting 50% now, as a sub, he would still be getting only 50%. I used to want to be a sub as well and have a bunch of guys underneath me, but after leading some techs, I've come to realize that running a company would be mostly a babysitting job. Trying to get 50 guys to show up and do their job right is like teaching cats to do water ballet.
"oh, my tire's flat, I can't come to work today"
"it's dark out, can't someone else pick up this job"
"my girlfriend's ex's kid's cousin is sick and I have to watch them so I can't come in"
"I skipped grounding that job because it was nearly 20 feet away from demarc"
"of course, I didn't change the tags on that drop, I would have had to get my 28' out for that"
Word to the wise, be a shop supervisor before you go wanting your own contract. Also, it wouldn't hurt to have some business management skills.
