3 Reasons Why Contractors Fail
There are many reasons why contractors aren’t successful and even end up filing bankruptcy after many years of growth. Here are just a few of the mistakes we see:
- ORGANIZATION – This is an area we often see poor leadership and poor financial management in. Failure usually starts from the top. You see insufficient capital or profits along with the general lack of business knowledge. The latter will help you fail in ANY business! We also see a lot of failed marketing techniques.
- STRATEGY – This is where all those bad business decisions hurt most contractors. They have unrealistic growth expectations and are unfamiliar with new markets. Contractors become obsessed with volume and making promises they can’t keep. Poor project selection is a big killer as well.
- UNCONTROLLABLE – This is where a bad economy and a weak industry will hurt most contractors that don’t have a solid foundation. Contractors also have no control over what banks are willing to do with loans.
Be Our Guest
As a contractor, you want to have the right people in the right place. After all, the construction business is a people business. Contractors, nowadays, are focusing on their cultures. A strong culture will have the ability to be more disciplined with their finances and can adapt to industry changes much easier.
