Being Aware Of Potential Mistakes Before They Happen Can Be The Difference Of Costing Your Business

It can be hard to run a business, but it can be rewarding. There are a lot of responsibilities and moving parts involved in running a business. Before you start, it’s important to keep in mind the various factors that affect your business.

Here are some things that could hurt your contracting business:  

• Not having enough cash to cover payroll, bills, fuel, maintenance, operational overhead costs, materials, etc. Without enough cash on hand, you would either have to buy on credit or cut corners with things you buy, which both can be slippery slopes.  
• Poor/lack of communication. Whether it’s with your employees or subcontractors or vendors or clients, you need to communicate clearly and often. You don’t want projects to get done incorrectly or to develop a poor reputation.  

• Letting your insurances expire. As a contractor, you need to be insured as you don’t want any mishap to fall all on you.  
• Bid on projects that you understand so you do not lose money.  
• Overpromising. Do not make promises you cannot remotely keep. You will develop a poor reputation.  
• Cutting back or skipping safety training. Safety training saves lives and money. You don’t want to face fines or lawsuits, because your skipped important training.
