Hi all, I'm a new EC from Ontario, Canada wanting to say hello. I understand this site is mainly geared towards the American EC's, however I have noticed that the business info on this site is invaluable to anyone in any country.
I am looking to compile a spreadsheet using excel which I am fairly new to using. Does this site offer spreadsheet templates for small service work or does anyone here know how I should lay it out?
I only do small service and repair work and I am finding that running a business is not easy. I consider myself a good tradesman, however the business side of things like estimating and giving out quotes I find quite difficult.
I would like to be more confident and at a point someday when I can give a potential client a price for service work right on the spot and not have to resort to going back to the office to price things out first.
 
Welcome to the Forum. It has been said here that Ace Electricians don't always make the best businessmen, myself included. Anyway take the Ellen Rohr weekend course. Know your actual cost to be in business. Several members swear by Ellen's advice. Others will chime in. Best of luck
