Dip sh*t! How do you continue to operate a business?

I have a hard time believing you started with $100,000
 
Sounds like somebodey needs to pump up their ego!
Could somebody just clean my carpets!

Ken_Is_Ok......is a prime example of  a man who should not speak for their own cause , either through ignorance, or because of the dread of their more potent  adversaries .
 
It is better to light the candle of your mind , than to curse the darkness that  lurks within .

That decision from CRI will take them years to live down.  No doubt it brings into question the value of their rendered opinions. 

Personally, I have always felt that since we know how to clean carpet and they know how to make it - I'll buy into their decisions about how to clean carpet when they buy into my decisions about how to make carpet.  That seems fair.  Any negative points they wish to make about the logic involved can be turned around into one against their lack of it.
Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity?

100,000 gee that seems like a bit much. Maybe that much if you are trying to get into flood restoration and you want to do a full page add in the yellow pages. I would say more like 30,000 for just carpet cleaning if you want a good start.
 
In Canada that does not even buy you a van? What the heck are you talking about???LOLLOLLOL
 
New 3/4 ton van $$$
new cleanco pto $$$
chemicals
IICRC classes
advertising
Look,  no disrespect but some of you need to go back to school.


Hey I said a good start not a kick a$$ start with all new equipment and new van. Besides if your just getting into the business I would not recommended buying the most expensive stuff around. Your talking about something entirely different than I good sir. So you can go back to school, I started my business 5 years ago with $5,000 and I'm doing more than fine. (I will say the first year was pretty ruff)

Hey NIGHT
So what would i be looking at for a truck mount ?
I have a honda ridge-line paid for !
Would consider a truck mount in the back but would like to be able to throw my moto's in the back as well on weekend trips and what not
Is their a such thing as an in- out truck mount machine ?
Just doesn't make sense to me to buy a van to get the truck mount seeing how i have the truck paid off?

Magic.......................The guys you should be directing that question to should be JohnL.....Doug.....Mr. Steamer.....CMaster..... and Hammy. They have the  mechanical knowledge and expertise in this field.
 
I am more into Marketing and tricky  ways to promote a business.
 
I live in Montreal and I have seen used half decent truckmounts ( truck and unit 1992 to 1997 ) for as little as 5,000 dollars.

If you want an in/out unit, buy a porty. It would be a huge PITA doing that with a tmOuch

The Honda will not support truck mounted carpet cleaning equipment.
