I just made the jump about a month ago! Start small and don’t get ahead of yourself, rent where you’re able to when you do get those larger contracts. But also network network network! Make it so that you can subcontract someone who already has the equipment. I attended a trade show a few weeks ago and also don’t have the mini x to do the earthwork they were wanting, so my go to line was “that sounds like it might be slightly outside of my capabilities right now as I’m building my business, but I know ____ and they do fantastic work, let me put you two in contact” it build the trust with your community so that you’re not accepting jobs you’re not capable of, but you’re still supporting potential clients
