Being skilled in your trade is important, but running a successful business in 2017 is about so much more. To help get new business ventures off to a flying start, training provider to the trades, Logic4training, is launching a series of ‘Business Guides’ offering step-by-step advice covering everything sole traders and SMEs need to know about setting up and managing their own business.
Accessed through a free subscription service, the ‘Business Guides’ will cover a range of topics, from the basics of getting started, to building a website and employing people. The free downloadable PDFs will be sent straight to recipients in box.
Logic4training Director, Mark Krull, said: “We know that becoming your own boss is a popular and rewarding choice for many people working in the building services sector, but it can be rather a daunting process when you first take the reins.
“At Logic4training we want to help sole traders and SMEs make their business goals a reality. Being fully trained and certified is a huge part of that, but business success encompasses a lot more, and that’s what we are trying to cover with our guides.”
With many tradespeople more used to the practical ‘hands-on’ side of the job, the guides will cover the essential administration, marketing and soft skills elements, which can leave would-be entrepreneurs unstuck, including:
- Setting up a business
- Employing staff
- Pricing jobs
- Setting up a website
- Marketing
- Social media
- Training
