I'm thinking about starting a business that gets job sites started, we would be having locates done, install mud mats, provide security fence for sale or rent ( temporary chain link or temporary fence panels), erosion control fencing and other erosion control methods, and finally tree removal on a medium scale, my partner is an arborist, does anybody see a future for a company like this?
I personally do not see potential, I have been in business over 22 years in 2 provinces. Locates are free anywhere in Canada and can be ordered by any homeowner even. Mats and fences are also usually provided by the Contractor. A tree removal company is a possibility but they are over saturated so you would have to be lower $ than anyone else making it hard to run with todays expenses. The best bet would be a landscaping company and tree removal/arbor business and snow removal in the winter. You will make a go for sure of that one if your really good and have good rates! it will take off. Expect things to be little slow in the 1st year as people do not know you. Your start up $ will be high (chain saws/lift equip/stump grinder/mowers/grass equip/arbor equip etc, etc). Try to stick to a specific area of out to 60kms max. Good Luck
