Roofing businesses run into budget and cash flow issues and need additional funds to operate. However one of the best ways to get through a slow period and cash flow issues is to bring in as much business during the busy season so you're not so stressed during slow times you will have the available resources to get through
Small Business Loans Depot has various bank statement loan and working capital loan programs for roofing businesses that have been in business at least 4 months with at least 3 months of verifiable revenue.
Ed Rogers can assist you in discussing what programs work best for your time in business and based on how much working capital you are looking to bring in through our bank statement loan and alternative loan programs.
Once you receive the working capital through our programs and the funds may be used for any purpose, it is best to run a marketing campaign to bring in customers during the roofing business busy period which begins in spring and lasts through fall and tapers off just before the Thanksgiving holidays or sooner or later based on weather conditions and where you are located in the US.
Ideally you may need to hire a marketing consultant who can help your business with radio, TV or local newspaper advertising.
For starters you may even want to start out with door hangers. Whatever level your are looking to market, you can start with a budget for as low as $2000 or go as high as $25,000 or more spending on advertising.
You definitely want to use your roofing business transportation vehicles as a form of marketing. Your roofing business vehicles, with your company name on them, should be parked in high traffic areas, where they will be exposed to high traffic volume.
If your roofing business isn't operating should realize that wherever your trucks are parked, they are still working and doing your advertising. It is ideal to put phone numbers on the rear of the trucks for people who pull up behind you at stop signs.
It's best to put telephone numbers on the rear because people with cell phone will try to call you if they see the number only on the side of your trucks. It's too dangerous to drive next to someone and try to write down or dial a number - the sad thing is many people try to drive and dial numbers they see to save them or reach the company asking for info. Even though you want calls for business you don't want it at the expense of people's safety.
Spend the working capital you receive by advertising at local business networking events. Many churches, city council meetings, service organizations like Lion's or Kiwanis clubs offer ways to meet their members and market to them. People who belong to these groups are usually very important members in the community and they will get to know you and recommend you and have a need for the roofing services you are offering.
Yes, you are going to have to budget times to do these things but they will pay off in the long run. Look for groups that have breakfast meetings or end of the week lunches.
Once your receive your working capital from Small Business Loans Depot, it will open up many options to help you to get the word out to others in your community who need your services. Contact Ed Rogers for a consultation on all of our various loan programs.
