Getting into the business
Have any of you gotten into the business by selling and marketing in an area then subbing out the work? My background is in sales and I see an opportunity in foam and to work for myself. Where can I get the training on the industry and the info on estimating without buying the rig etc.?

what area of town do you live, also call other contractors in your area and see if any would let you work for them.

I'm in Eastern Nebraska. I am looking to build a business for myself not for someone else. Any advise on which national contractors will install in this area under my company?

There isn't going to be a lot of money for you to contract foam work. The market is tight as it is, trying to add 10% to any quotes so can pocket money is going to break a lot of deals. Best to start your own company and hire workers or go and work for someone else.
