Small Business Finances and Profit Strategies for Non-Accountants
A special Spring Training Boot Camp session
To help construction business owners survive today and thrive tomorrow.
Don’t Risk Financial Failure!
- Is your checkbook balance often lower than you expected?
- Are you putting your construction business at risk by guessing at what markup to use?
The Facts:
Eight of every ten high quality remodeling businesses with raving fans for clients fail within the first five years. The number one reason contracting businesses fail is due to a lack of available money when they needed it, even if they are operating profitably. The number two reason is that they do not know the costs of being in business.
