Start Reffering Contractors For A Profit
Thursday, November 13th, 2008We are wittnesing the rise of many interior design referral services in many cities, from LA to NY. They are taking the time to do the legwork to find reputable and reliable contractors and these businesses are reaping profits from good work.
It really doesn’t take much to start. A home improvement referral service business takes only a little money and not more time than a regular 40 hour a week job. Even in the first business year these entrepenuers will see the money coming in.
The first thing to consider is what types of home improvement businesses your will refer. This can include gutter cleaning and replacement, remodeling, building additions, fencing, lawn maintenance, and many others. Remember, all though you may like to paint a client may not like it or have the time. And this means that there is no business that should be overlooked.
When you figure out what kind of contractors you would like to include in your referral sevice business, you have to call related government offices. It is best that you get all the requirements and regulations connected to business registry, licensing and insurance for every contractor you have. And this is just a first step in building your list. It is good to have a policy which would exclude all contractors from your list in case they do not meet the government regulations.
