Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Who exactly is this quiz for?  

A: This quiz is designed specifically for hard-working tradespeople such as electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians who want to stop working for a boss and start their very own business. It helps you see if you are truly ready to step up and be the leader of your own company.

Q: How do I know if I'm financially ready to quit my employer?

A: Being great at fixing things is only half the battle when you run a shop. To run a successful business, you also need to know your work style, the true cost of owning a business, and how to set prices so you make a profit.  This quiz asks you questions to see how ready you are now, and gives you next steps for things to work on. 

Q: Will this just sign me up for a bunch of generic corporate corporate spam?

A: No. BizFlint is built on straight talk. You get an immediate, personalized score pointing out your strengths and gaps so you'll know what to work on next.  Preparation means you don't have to learn business lessons the expensive way.
