The Real Financial Challenges of Running a General Contracting Business

If any of this sound familiar, you’re not the only one:

Unsteady Cash Flow – When payments from clients or subs come in late, it can make managing money tough.

Keeping Track of Job Costs – It’s tricky to stay on top of all the labor, materials, and overhead expenses for each project.

Paying Payroll and Subs – Making sure everyone gets paid on time and following the rules can be a real hassle.

Figuring Out Taxes – Tax deductions and credits can get complicated, especially when dealing with different projects and rules.

Competitive Bidding and Tight Margins – Pricing jobs accurately ensures you win bids and protect profits.

This isn’t about mistakes—it’s the nature of contracting. The good news? We know how to fix it.
