Slow-season checklist for trade businesses
Use the quiet weeks to fix the things busy weeks never allow.
- Call past customers. Offer maintenance visits or inspections that fit your trade.
- Clean up your price list. Update material costs while you have time.
- Service the trucks and tools. Fix problems before the rush returns.
- Tidy the paperwork. Close out old jobs, file receipts and review unpaid invoices.
