I certainly have a base day rate for me and my baseline set of kit. And a day rate for a small crew including sound recordist and assistant or 2nd camera operator. And a day rate for post-production and pre-production and so on.
But just about everything I do is bespoke and will have different requirements. Whether you need a drone or you need a helicopter or you need hair and makeup or a hazer and 50ft of dolly track and 5Kw of lights or you need to licence Voodoo Chile.
Any quote will always end up cheaper than going by my standard day rates, which is why the first step is to find out exactly what the client wants. And yep I absolutely have some examples of projects and their associated costs to show a client.

People that can stand behind a camera and think they can do my job are 10 a penny.

"People that can stand behind a camera and think they can do my job are 10 a penny." - I agree! I make videos for a living but getting mad imposter syndrome looking at your work haha. I suck at creative lighting but I'm getting there slowly! I'm an editor first and foremost but have to do everything now.
PS shameless plug, but if you ever have any opportunities for freelance editor work give me a shout I used to work in live TV/news so can turn around projects pretty quick especially if it's typical corporate stuff!
With my 10 a penny remark I sort of meant there's a bunch of graduates or people who learned from youtube tutorials that have never done a paid day's work doing this job in their lives calling themselves cinematographers, and then wanting to charge 10% of what a rate should be which undermines us twice really.
From now on I might refer to them as Harley Benton DOPs.

A.friemd of mine has a small video agency (currently 3 guys) and he seems to be very confident about it growing quickly so there's definitely a market out there
