How to start a painting business
Evaluate your painting abilities.
Before you begin formalizing plans for your painting business, honestly assess your abilities to paint. Taking an objective view of your skills and experience can help you decide if starting a painting business is the right option for you.
An excellent way to assess your skills is to compare your work to other painting businesses in your area. Is your work comparable or better? You can't expect to be successful if you can't compete with existing businesses.
