This seems like the most logical place to ask silly questions. I'm a member of the IBEW. I've been in this trade for 26 years. The company I worked for has recently "suspended business". I sign the out of work list at the hall at # 145 Dec 4th. Today I'm #123 on the list. At this rate I'll be sent to work in two years from now. Therefore I've taken the road to open my own shop. I love this work and really couldn't think of doing anything else. I got my masters, I passed the test for my contractors, and now, hercules tradesman that I am, I know nothing about running a business. I got $1,000,000 in insurance lined up - I got a tax man/accountant/payroll guy lined up for $100 a month, but I'm still out in left field. What's the most efficient way of advertising and how does a guy present a bill to a customer?
