A Guide to Running a Handyman Business

by Ian Mcculloch

This guide is for those people that have a good all round knowledge of household maintenance. People who have been shown how to paint, decorate, hang doors, change plugs, cut grass, tile, lay laminate flooring, erect a fence, fit a carpet and assemble flat pack furniture. The list could go on, but you get the idea! If YOU can do all of the above and more, YOU can make a good living as a Handyman. With the Recession well and truly with us for the next few years, people can no longer afford to employ the usual builders to do small jobs. Also with the rise in Single Mums bringing up families on their own, many are not capable of doing household improvements or repairs. Either because they are too busy earning a living or just do not know how to tackle these sort of tasks. This guide will describe several different approaches to earning a living as a Handyman.
