Build the company behind the work.

Built for people ready to start

This service is designed for people who know how to do the work but need help building the business side of it.

Whether you are starting an excavation company, remodeling business, landscaping operation, cleaning company, trucking business, repair service, or another service-based company, we help you put the right foundation in place.

What we help put in place

Your business roadmap

We start by looking at your trade, your customers, the work you plan to take on, and what needs to happen first. You get a practical plan—not generic advice—so you know what to handle now, what can wait, and what needs professional help.

Organization for the required business steps

We help you organize the information and documents you may need for business formation, insurance, workers’ compensation, licenses, registrations, tax setup, and customer or contract requirements. We also help you build a system so important documents do not disappear when a customer, general contractor, lender, or provider asks for them.

The office system behind the work

A business does not need a fancy office to be organized. It needs a simple system that works.

We help establish:

• Professional email, phone, customer-contact, and document organization
• Job files that keep estimates, photos, contracts, change orders, invoices, and job notes together
• Estimate, proposal, contract, change-order, invoice, and collection templates
• Customer follow-up, scheduling, documentation, and job-closeout procedures
• A simple way to track leads, work sold, work in progress, money billed, and money still owed

Know what the work is making

A busy company is not always a profitable company. We help set up basic job-cost and financial-organization systems so you can see what work is bringing in, what it costs, what has been invoiced, what remains unpaid, and what needs attention.

This includes organization for:

• Job-cost tracking
• Invoice and collection follow-up
• Cash-flow visibility
• Basic profit-and-loss review
• Information your bookkeeper or accountant will need

Payments and customer financing

Getting paid easily matters. We can help you identify and organize merchant-services options so your company can accept card and electronic payments.

When customer financing is important to winning work, we can help you prepare and organize the information needed to explore financing programs through qualified providers.

Equipment and growth support

When the work requires a truck, trailer, skid steer, excavator, lift, tool package, or other major asset, we help you get organized before you spend money.

Support can include:

• Organizing information lenders or equipment-finance providers may request
• Preparing basic records and documentation for financing discussions
• Researching equipment, vehicles, machinery, tools, and operational assets
• Helping source the right equipment for the work you are doing
• Building a plan for what to buy now, what to rent, and what can wait

How it works

1. Start with a business review. We learn what work you do, where you are today, and what you need to get established.
2. Build the right foundation. We organize the essential systems, documents, tools, and next steps around your actual business.
3. Stay available as you grow. If you need ongoing help with paperwork, billing, job tracking, customer follow-up, or a larger project, Solid Ground can provide continuing business-operations support.

You handle the work. We help build the business behind it.

Every startup is different. Solid Ground scopes the Business Setup Package around the trade, the work, and the level of support you need.
