How to Build a High-Tech Contracting Business without Loads of Cash.

How to Build a High-Tech Contracting Business without Loads of Cash.
Free Download - How is the Attitude – Have you Amazed those around you yet? By Manny Nowak
Name: Email:

Now I want you to try and explain this simple concept to the large companies in America and world wide. They cannot seem to understand that as a small business I need to get paid faster. As a small business I need to turn my money quicker. As a small business I am not their bank.

The answer from them, however, is simple, “if you cannot hang, then we have many people knocking at our doors every day”. You either deal with the terms we give you, or you drop out.

As a small business, we love large clients. The work is plentiful, the rates are great, they keep asking for more. Yet as a small business we only have so much cash.

In the high tech contracting business this can be a total nightmare. You can have great big contracts, many sub-contractors and not enough cash. It really stinks when you have to turn down work because you know you cannot pay the sub-contractor in the time they need to be paid. Your bank will not give you any more on you credit line, your credit cards are maxed out. And you just cannot handle anymore debt.

So how is a small business to grow? Is this why so many small businesses never do grow, they stay small forever. Do you have to let the work go to some other, large firm? The answer should be, “no way, I am a business person and I want to make money, I have to find a way to make this happen”.

In comes factoring. The knight on the white horse. For many years it was not thought of well, it was the first step to bankruptcy. But not anymore. Now for a minor fee you can complete. You can get the cash you need. You can keep on growing.

Very simply put.
You hire a new sub-contractor at $75 an hour, billing her at $100.
She works for you 40 hours a week, billing $4000.00
She gets $3000 a week.
She bills you every 2 weeks with a 2 week due date.
You bill your client every 2 weeks and he takes 60 days to pay.

No problem
You take your invoice and factor it, getting 80% of the invoice in a week.
That covers your cost and you still have a little left.

With factoring, you can grow your business to great new levels of success.

Let’s look at another simple example:
If you contract people at $75 and hour and bill them at $100 an hour
You bill the client $4000 a week and it costs you $3000 a week.
You make $1000 per person per week.
If you can get 10 of these on board you can be generating 10k a week.
But you have to pay 30k a week to them.
Now if your client pays in 60 days and you have to pay in 15, you are in trouble and you cannot grow.
But, it you factor, you get your money in plenty of time to pay the people and just wait on the profit.

If you want to grow your business, and money is an issue, you need to look at factoring. Simply put, this is a great tool to help you grow.

Leanne Hoagland-Smith
Are your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website
