I want to take my business to the next level but im not sure how. Is there such a service available..? Specifically for contractors.

depends on what you are looking for. If it is a matter of making improvements check and see if you have a score chapter. If you are looking for growth then maybe nexus or ESI. If you want a mone making machine that will allow you to spend less time in the business then maybe a Mr Sparky franchise.

Perhaps a few biz management courses at your local community college would suffice?

OP, i asked the same question while back. most said they aren't worth it. i agree with you, i'd like to maximize my potential. i'm sure i'm not doing everything the best way possible.

Our local community college has a department called the Small Business Development Center that offers classes, workshops, seminars, etc for current and future small business owners.

I recently took an evening course from them called "Shoebox Bookkeeping" which is a basically a short class on rudimentary, very basic pen & paper bookkeeping. The instructor is a local CPA and it was a great class.

They also offer a more in-depth series of classes on Quickbooks, and then a lot of more specialized stuff on a case-by-case basis. I plan on taking more classes in the future. They've also got stuff on website development, social media, etc.

I'd bet you have similar resources up there.

Thanks... im gonna look into that... I took a quickbooks class and accounting refresher when I first started out. I personally think I need a secratary to handle some stuff...but I need to see whats a good next step, how to market effectively, and some other stuff. Basically I need some tutoring.
