Thank you for your response Jordie,
I agree about the tools. Buying cheap things always costs you more in the long run. I think a 5 year plan is fair. That does remind me of a question I have. What is the best way to get a website up and running? I’m sure there is a thread if someone wants to direct me there. I will definitely keep you in mind if I do go the WFP route. I would be interested in Luke’s Timberwolf design for sure.
JackSmackPWC, how have things been going for you since you started? Did you decide to hire employees to grow your business?
I’m not crazy about the idea but my wife found some ladders at a pawn shop and they are having a 50% off sale this Saturday. I might stop by and see if I could pick one or two up for cheap if they look like there are in good enough shape and safe.
***Another update
I registered my business with Colorado as a sole proprietorship and obtained an EIN. Next steps will be looking into insurance. One of the guys I used to work with referred me to a company he uses but I wanted to ask if anyone recommends a solid insurance outfit? Also is $1 million in general liability excessive or is that the standard?
I also got a phone number and landline for the business. Next step on that front is business cards and possibly other marketing material. I plan to start marketing the week of August 12th.
Thank you everyone!
