Discover The Importance Of A Solid Business Plan For Your Contracting Company

Posted by Sharie DeHart on Fri, Jul 12, 2024

Starting a construction business without a plan is like setting sail without a compass. While you might eventually reach your destination, the journey will likely be longer and more challenging. A well-constructed business plan is essential for guiding your business toward success.
 
Here's why
 
It Clarifies Your Vision
 
A business plan helps you articulate the vision for your enterprise. It forces you to think through every aspect of your business, including what you want to achieve and how you plan to get there.

Brace Your Construction Business From Recession

Posted by Sharie DeHart on Fri, Jul 17, 2020

The pains caused by an economic downturn can be excruciating, which is why most of us dread it.

A recession can mean massive layoffs, jobs becoming harder to find, and wages frozen, which means consumers hunker down and spend less-- often worsening the slowdown unknowingly. 

For most businesses, especially small businesses, recessions can be brutal. Just take, for example, the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) that struck the world in 2008. Between December 2008 and December 2010, approximately 1.8 million small businesses shut down. When Investopedia looked into the financial crisis's impact on small businesses after a decade, they found out that business creation has not yet returned to pre-crisis levels.

Posted by Randal DeHart on Fri, Jun 19, 2015


Plan Your Work Then Work Your Plan

But Who Has Time To Plan?

Do you know of a contracting company that runs smoother than yours? They have the same challenges you do:
  • Getting enough qualified leads to bid on and winning enough of them at a price that is profitable
  • Finding employees who will arrive on time, do the work and not steal time, materials or customer
  • Having enough cash to pay the bills before the end of the month and cash left over for the owner

Contractor's Unique Business Plan Outline

Posted by Randal DeHart on Fri, Sep 13, 2013

Business Plans Stir Up Debate!

If you are a contractor you are most likely a "doer", someone who gets things done, not now but right now! When you see anyone not swinging a hammer, drilling holes, pouring concrete, laying carpet, putting paint on the walls or a thousand other construction tasks the first thing you think is they are wasting time and money and you want no part of that nonsense!
