Book Reviews of Smart Business for Contractors
Book Review: Great resource for start ups
Summary: 5 Stars
I work for an agency that provides business counseling for small local businesses. I frequently get calls from people in the trades who are starting their own contracting business after years of working on a crew. Just as frequently I get calls from their spouses who are taking on the bookkeeping aspect of the business. This is one of the resources I recommend especially if they haven't had much experience estimating, job costing, or dealing with homeowners. I've gotten lots of positive feedback from contractors and their partners. Several clients bought their own copy. The chapter on contracts has examples that are useful to other types of businesses as well. This book is well organized, has good examples, and it's written in plain English.
Summary of Smart Business for Contractors
Running a small business can be daunting to the contractor whose expertise is in building -- not finance or law. This book helps demystify the day-to-day challenges that contractors face. It includes advice on how to submit an accurate bid, charge a fair price, and not overlook overhead and fixed costs.
