Here's the good news

1 in 2 subcontractors successfully account for the cost of working capital in their bids. And it pays off with larger profit margins, growing revenues and bigger plans for 2024.

Accounting for the cost of working capital is a strategic business practice that addresses working capital as a true cost center. By incorporating this cost into bids and invoices to GCs and property owners, subcontractors are treating working capital as a crucial component of long-term business health.

Are you interested in using this strategy to grow your profit margin?
