The Service Business Blueprint

Price It Right: Job Costing & Pricing for Trade Businesses

Cash Flow Survival: For Project-Based Service Businesses
You make money. So why is your bank account empty? Service businesses live and die on cash flow timing. Profit on paper means nothing if you can't make payroll Friday. This course teaches you how to fix it — for the kind of work where every job has a start, a middle, and a final invoice. You'll learn how to structure deposits and milestone payments that actually get paid. Understand the lien rights you have — and the deadlines that kill them. Build a 13-week cash forecaster you'll actually update. Run collections without flinching. Decide when factoring saves you and when it sinks you. Location-aware: pick your province (Canada) or state (US) and the tools surface the rules that apply to you. Built Canadian-first, American-second, agnostic-fallback for the rest of the world. RECOMMENDED FOR: • Handymen, painters, pressure washers, deck and fence builders, flooring installers, landscapers doing install work, HVAC/plumbing/electrical doing install jobs. • Solo operators and crews of 1–10 running one-off jobs in the $500–$50,000 range. • Anyone who's eaten a chargeback, a no-deposit dispute, or an unpaid invoice in the last 12 months — and anyone who hasn't yet but knows the day is coming. NOT BUILT FOR (yet): • Pure recurring service businesses (cleaning, lawn maintenance, pool, pest control) — separate variant in production. • Trade subcontractors working under GCs with pay-if-paid clauses — separate variant in production. WHAT YOU WALK OUT WITH: • A standard payment schedule for your business — deposits, milestones, final. • Your jurisdiction's lien deadlines on a single sheet. • A working 13-week cash forecast tied to your real job pipeline. • A collections escalation playbook with email templates and a demand letter. • The factoring math for your specific situation. 5 modules · 18 lessons · 4 quizzes · 2 assignments · 1 final test · 5 interactive tools. Built for owners who need to run the business, not just the jobs.
