Free seminar
Find your Footing.
A free financial-literacy seminar for construction. We bring the money side of the business, cash flow, pricing, clean books, and getting bankable, to the crews and contractors who build everything but were never taught it.
The problem we see
Profitable on paper, broke in the bank.
The best builders we meet are great at the work and were never taught the money. The books are behind, jobs get priced on markup instead of margin, and nobody is costing the labor that ran over. So every pay app opens a cash gap the owner funds out of pocket.
Then, when capital is finally needed, the only kind on offer is the most expensive kind, because the business was never made bankable. Good companies stall right there. Not for lack of work, but for lack of the financial footing to carry it.

What we cover
Eight things that decide whether a construction business grows or stalls.
Cash flow and growth
The cash gap on every pay app, and the path from sub to general contractor.
Choosing the right capital
Why clean books move you up to cheaper money, and what each option really costs.
Getting bankable
What lenders and sureties look for before they say yes.
Protecting yourself
Bonding, insurance, and lien-law deadlines you cannot miss.
Know your numbers
Reading a P&L, and job costing estimate against actual.
Pricing that pays
Markup is not margin, and how to recover overhead in every bid.
Structure and taxes
A few habits that prevent expensive surprises.
Your 30-day plan
Small, concrete steps you start the week after the seminar.
