Are you one of the 10,000+ plumbers in the United States that are looking to go solo in 2021?
Well, the latest information suggests that as many as ten thousand experienced plumbers will take the plunge into self-employment over the next twelve months. But before you do, we have asked one successful Newcastle Plumbing Company what they recommend watching out for and doing before taking the plunge.
Invest in Your Tools
As a plumber, your tools are your livelihood, before you go and take the plunge into self-employment, you should ensure that you have the right tools to do so. Remember, investing in tools is a lot like investing in a computer for a marketer or a truck for a truck driver. You will be using these every day and they will literally be responsible for your livelihood – so select the right ones.
Invest in Your Staff
It can be tempting to hire an entire staff of apprentices and cheap labourers, but before you do, remember that these people will be the face of your company. Make sure that you spend a little more to hire people that you will be proud to represent your brand and ones that will have all of the necessary skills to service your customers.
