Wanting to Break into the Industry
I am interested in starting an SPF business in Wisconsin. I fully understand that I would be doing small jobs to "work my way up." I am currently in Medical Device Sales and soooo badly want to be an entrepreneur. I am excited about the SPF industry. I have spent the past couple months drawing up business plans and exploring various ownership options. Do I outright buy a rig/trailer/equipment? Do I purchase an existing small SPF business? How can I break into the business? I have no fear of hard work. I have no fear of failure. Any advice/mentoring would be tremendously appreciated.

I would find a few builders in your area, and ask them about doing work for them, also I would put the word out about my business, bus cards, wha ever and them buy the rig when you get the business. you dont want the rig and no work. so find the work first them get a rig. |

You may have heard everyone wants foam, everyone except builders that is. Find cutomers, then get into the business. Target custom and green builders, the cookie cutters want cheeeeeeaaaaap! Lease a high-end fully equipped rig (E30, MHII, etc.) that has been field proven, (leases are a 100% write-off) cheap in this business is a No, No!!! We love our E30, and our MHII our other two rigs are being re-fitted. Good luck!!! |
