The Reality Check Every CT Contractor Needs

💸

Your time costs $30/hour+. Spending 15 hours on paperwork = $450/week in lost income. That's $23,400 per year you're NOT making.

📉

Underpriced jobs kill businesses. Miss your true costs by just 15%? On a $50K job, you just lost $7,500 in profit.

⏰

Late invoices = broke families. When you invoice 3 weeks late or need to find time to run to the bank to cash checks you're essentially giving customers a free loan while your bills pile up.

— Phil P., Bolton, CT
The Scary Part:
M___, isn't the only one! I've personally had a contractor forget to invoice me and then insist that it's been taken care of! The truth of the matter is this could happen to anyone, especially if you don't have the right systems in place.

— Kathy T., Glasonbury, CT
The Scary Part:
Unpaid work! And no way of knowing if customer's were invoiced, except by embarrassingly asking the client if they got an invoice or not?
