Starting a Spray Foam Insulation Business?
So you are thinking about starting a spray foam insulation business. The first thing that you need to ask is: Is a spray foam insulation business profitable?
That’s really a great question. Anytime you are starting any type of business, you should really build a business plan and make sure that the plan you put together will allow you to build a sustainable and profitable business. We are here to help you with some of the key things you should think about when you decide you want to start your new business venture.
Build a Business Plan.
Are you currently in the Insulation Business? The insulation business is not only spray foam insulation, but it also consists of fiberglass insulation, cellulose insulation, and some other various types. If you are in the business, are you a residential or commercial contractor? What is your current target market? Do you focus on new construction or are you focused on retro fit applications? All of these are different types of questions that need to be answered in order for you to be able to build a successful business plan. Focus on your market, your customer, the products that you want to offer, and figure out how you are going to make it happen. All of this goes into building a successful business plan. Spray Foam Insulation can be used in a wide variety of business models. Many spray foam insulation contractors focus solely on new construction. These models typically require a high amount of volume of work and require contractors to have high production equipment in order to meet the demand of the schedules of the general contractors and builders that they are working for. Other spray foam insulation businesses focus more on retro fit applications, such as creating a hot roof system in an existing home by spraying 6-10″ of open cell spray foam insulation into the rafters. Other contractors use spray foam as an air sealant, and perform critical air seals on attic assemblies in order to create a tighter, more energy efficient home. All of these models require different types of investments, different business plans, and eventually can profit different depending on how you build your business.
