Why people set up their own business For many people, starting a business is the best - if not the only employment option available. Surveys have shown that self employment is expected to be the greatest area of employment growth in future years, building on the increase experienced over the past fifteen years. This growth has occurred for several reasons:
 | An increasing recognition of the value of small/medium sized businesses to the economy. |
| C | hanging patterns of work and downsizing of large organizations, creating opportunities for small niche businesses. |
| More and more graduates see starting their own business as a valid career choice. |
| An environment which is encouraging enterprise. |
| Increasing media interest and thus more general interest. |
| The experience of running a business will be something that people can use in a variety of ways. |
| Full time or part time, you can decide which is right for you. |
| It offers a career alternative at different periods of your working life. |
Resources needed for setting up your own business The resources needed can be classed under four headings: | expertise in enterprise - business/technical skills - training courses, money management. |
| financial - investment capital. |
| personal support - counselors, contacts. |
| equipment - renting, leasing, etc. |
Expertise Most people, even if they have appropriate business skills, will still have to learn suitable vocational skills. At Stardust Coatings, a range of training courses exists to instruct you in how to apply our products skillfully and properly. Indeed, taking one of our courses can be one way of deciding if starting your own driveway and pool deck application business is really the right route for you to take. Financial Starting you own driveway and pool deck application business is not like opening a McDonalds or Burger King which are very expensive franchises. Very little investment capital is required for this business. You will not be franchising from us and there are no minimum purchases and no hidden fees. You will need local licenses and permits, a good pick up truck or van, the right tools and of course, our products. You will be very much like the local electricians or carpenters who give their time and labor and create a finished product for a fee.
Personal supportWe at Stardust Coatings would like to fill the personal support role for new entrepreneurs. Our training classes will teach you all you need to know about our products and how to apply them. We are available for technical support phone calls weekdays between 8am and 4:30 PM. We also have the supplies and special tools available for purchase if you need them. Finally, we want you to know that when you succeed, so do we!
Equipment
Many new contractors have started out with just a home office, a good truck or van, application tools, the pressure equipment and guns necessary to make the textures and patterns to install our products. The cost of this equipment is small and even though we offer all that you will need to go into business, you do not have to purchase it from us. Your labor and your knowledge are the keys to your success. Call us today, or contact us via our Contact Page on this website for a Informational Packet about becoming your own boss. [Back] |
