How a Small Construction Company Can Compete with the Big Dogs

January 20, 2022 by Darryl Stroink

A kitten frightens a big dog.

Focus on Service, Flexibility, and Dedication

Construction is a competitive industry, so you need to find what sets you apart and make the most of it. Build strong customer relationships, be flexible enough to make the most of your opportunities, and be dedicated enough to do the tough stuff.

Personal Service Builds Strong Relationships

Offering good customer service is crucial. Without it, you won’t be able to get repeat customers. That means you’ll lose out on the regular income they could bring.

And there’s another good reason you need satisfied customers: their word-of-mouth advertising can win you new customers without you spending a cent.

10 Key Habits of Successful Entrepreneurs

10 Key Habits of Successful Entrepreneurs

Personal Practices that will Put You on Top of Your Game

Success comes from within. Studies on entrepreneurship have found remarkable similarities among those that thrive. So, what makes the difference between a mediocre entrepreneur and successful one?

Relentless Learning

“Change is the end result of all true learning.” – Leo Buscaglia, author and teacher

Forbes magazine lists avid reading as a leading characteristic of successful entrepreneurs. Why? Because they are aware of their own limitations. Like the old saying goes, “You don’t know what you don’t know”. Entrepreneurs that succeed do so because they put effort into personal growth and education. Greater understanding gives you a competitive advantage. Read journals, read books, listen to podcasts. Attend seminars and stay up to date with the latest industry trends. Consistent learning puts you in the right place at the right time—with the right idea.

What It Takes to Get Approved for Your Equipment Lease

September 29, 2020 by Darryl Stroink

What It Takes to Get Approved for Your Equipment Lease

The Basics Your Lender Will Want to See and How You Can Optimize for the Best Rates

Equipment leasing is a powerful business growth tool and is a lot more flexible than a traditional bank loan. Leases are easier to qualify for, offer more stress-free terms and can usually be obtained without a down payment.

Though the up-front costs to you may be minimal, they do represent a major investment for the lender. Your lender will be playing it safe, especially in this day and age, and looking for indicators that your business is a good credit risk.

Lease brokers have specific measures they look for in a lease application. Some of these are things you can optimize, like a strong business plan and a solid credit score. Some are factors out of your control, like the number of years you’ve been in business and your credit history.

Knowing beforehand what the lender wants to see is key to a successful application.
