How To Keep Business Going As A Contractor During Slow Seasons

Over the past year, we’ve seen how unpredictable life can be. There have been many instances where businesses have been temporarily disrupted due to something outside of their control. Despite the pandemic, there are still good and bad times in business.

Even though your business is doing well, it’s still important to prepare for the bad times that may come your way. This is the time to start preparing for these types of situations.

• Who can be let go in the company and who cannot.  
• What specialty/product/service will you focus on when you cannot afford to do them all.  
• Save. Save. Save. Try to save at least six months of your business’ expenses in the bank.  
• Have a backup/side gig ready for when work is slow for you to continue to bring in some money, whether you decide to teach, do different types of projects, create a blog/YouTube channel with your expertise etc.  
• Upgrade equipment/technology when times are good.  
• Make connections who may be able to help you down the line.

Some of these are simple steps that can help prepare you for the worst case scenario. One of the most important steps that you should take is to get a second contractor license.
