You’re finally ready to grow. So how do you actually afford it?
More trucks. More techs. More revenue. It sounds like the answer, but if your cash flow isn’t ready, growth can break you faster than a slow season.
In this episode — the final chapter of our six-part cash flow series — we break down how to fund growth the right way, without handing over control of the business you built.
What we cover:
The 3 questions you must answer before you add a single truck or technicianHow to calculate the true 90-day cost of a new hire — including the van, fuel, tools, insurance, truck stock, and all that ride-along time before they produce a dollarWhy not all revenue is worth growing — and how to find the work that actually isCash reserves, equity partners, lines of credit, equipment financing, SBA loans, and invoice factoring — what each one is and what to watch out forWhy growth doesn’t fix a broken business — and what needs to be solid before you scale
This is built for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and other service-trade owners and managers — residential and commercial — at any revenue level.
