When Is Your Business Successful?

Creating a successful home improvement or home renovation business isn’t easy. Figuring out what you consider a success can sometimes be even harder. Success is often hard to define and as your home improvement business grows and your experience as a contractor develops, your measure of success often does too.

 

A new business owner working on their first home improvement project may be justified in feeling like the world’s best businessman. However, after a few years and hundreds of closed sales, that same contractor’s perception of success should have shifted to a more ambitious benchmark.

 

Whether you’re just starting in the home improvement or renovation business or running a nation-wide contracting business, it’s important to set business goals. Business goals often help create and drive success as the business’s employees come together to reach that common goal. These home improvement contractor tips are specially written and collected with the intent to help you create and reach business goals to help you reach your version of success in the home improvement industry.

Note: Use of the terms "Loan," "Lender" and "Borrower" is for ease of reference only. Financings are in the form of retail installment contracts ("RIC").
