Hello to everybody on this site. Hope to be able to help others and also get advice to help myself. Just to tell you a little about myself; I am the recent owner of an electrical contracting company which I had previously been employed by. My boss decided to no longer continue in the trade and sold the business to me. I am excited, nervous, and eager to begin again as the owner of the business. I would welcome any advice from anyone who has experience owning and operating their own small business. I am sure the next several years will be a learning experience.

I only have two employees, but I'm looking to add another journeyman electrician this summer.

We do a little bit of everything. I live in a community of 25,000 so we have to be versatile.

I've had my contractor's license since before I bought the business, so that wasn't an issue. And no, I don't do any work illegally. I am licensed, insured, and bonded. But thanks for checking.
