6 Questions You Should Ask Yourself
Are you ready to leap into the restoration and remediation field? Before you jump off the cliff, consider these six questions to get you headed in the right direction as a restoration contractor:
- Do I want to start from scratch or buy into a franchise? There are pros and cons to each option. Purchasing a franchise gets you up and running quickly but at a substantial upfront cost. You can experience more flexibility in building your own business but you may need to find a mentor to help you navigate the market.
- Is there a need for restoration services in my area? Your business means nothing if you don’t have paying customers to serve. Do some research and see if there is enough of a demand for restoration and remediation. Also, investigate the area to see how many other companies are in the same industry. Research to see how busy or slow they are.
- What type of services should I provide? Depending on where you are located, you may do well with mold remediation or water damage restoration. You might want to consider narrowing your focus based on the demand for your area. However, if the weather around you invites opportunities for both mold and water damage, it can help to be able to do both.
- What kind of training and certifications do I need? This industry requires specific skills, which mandates certifications. Look for the appropriate certification courses available and use this to create a timeline to build your business.
- Do I need permits and licenses? Part of your work is construction and may require specific permits and licensing. Be sure to contact your state and local government agencies to inquire as to what qualifications you need. This may vary by state and region, so it is a good idea to contact the authorities in all the areas you wish to work.
- Should I purchase insurance? The best way to protect your business’s future is through insurance coverage. Different policies can safeguard your growing company, including general liability, commercial property, commercial auto, and workers’ compensation.
