About 6 months ago I told you all about my sister Crystal and how she moved up to Ontario Canada to take on a new job. Well, not only did she move and get that new job, she has now started up her own new business in Mississauga!
Next month the construction will begin on the new 4 story building that she is having built for her new company. Crystal is really excited about it and showed me the building plans over the Thanksgiving break. We are super excited for her!
She was telling my husband and I about all of the contractors and workers she had to hire to get this new company and building construction done. She told me it was really easy to find a mississauga electrical contractor, but it was a little harder to find the proper landscaping company for the project.
I have never built up a business from scratch before and I was intently listening to everything my sister had to say. I never realized everything that goes into starting a new business, especially when that business is in another country.
With that said, My husband is now considering starting up his own business here in our home state of Pennsylvania. He is a licensed HVAC Tech, Certified Plumber, has his Electrician License and so forth. He is definitely tired of working for someone else and is considering going out on his own.
Right now he is just consulting with my sister since she knows a lot more about starting a new business, and is just something he is considering. I would love for him to do it, but I hope he holds off for a few months since we are in the process of moving.
Have any of you ever started a business from the ground up? I am talking about starting a complete business from scratch, from having your own office building built to hiring employees, etc.?
