I'd recommend you check into an SBA Loan to help you grow your business and have operating money to grow your business. There are also grants within most states or counties you are located in, research and maybe there's one that you can qualify for before using SBA. There are also Credit Cards that offer 0% for a year, utilizing this could also help fund your expansion. Be sure to stay within your means and not heavily in debt your company. Try no to undercut your prices to compete with your companies, prove to your customers why they would pay more for your service (i.e., photos of your work, references, quality of service). I always found that if you undercut your work, you miss out on great clients who want your service and will pay for it. Good Luck in Your Company!
Hey there Franco,
Thank you so much for the reply. I looked around but could not find grants, loans over here for business have an unrealistic interest rate. And I am trying not to reach for a credit card, until I get bigger, because I have seen large companies rise and fall due to debt, I will definitely not go that route! :)
So far, I have yet to have a complaint on any/all my work, knock on wood! I try to always remember to take pictures and I even post them on my website / flyer designs. I just dont know how to take this leap yet, I wish it was easier.
