Over the past few years I have seen banks put contractors out of business because they changed their lending practices or decided that contractor loans were too risky. These contractors were paying their payments on time and were NOT in default. The banks didn’t care. The contractors’ loans were gone and so were the contractors’ businesses.
What if you didn’t have to go to the bank for short term emergency cash needs? What if you didn’t have to go to the bank to borrow money when you needed a new truck or a new computer or some other asset?
You can do this with a thriving maintenance program even if you don’t have any maintenance agreements to begin with. Stay busy in the traditionally slow months of the year and become your own bank.

Building Your Maintenance Agreement Program
- Set up a maintenance agreement savings account and start putting $90 from each agreement that you enroll or renew.
- Grow your total maintenance agreements by 100 each year.
- Keep your renewal rates up to at least 80% (most contractors I work with have a 90%+ renewal rate).
