Once you have the idea settled upon to "Start a post hole dig and set company", the hard part of starting is making your phones ring.

For Post Hole Auguring you can start with a small 1 man augur machine. Self propelled machines are obviously best, however you need to research the machines before you buy. Most Gates are 36-42" at the side of homes, so you may want to have a machine that is roughly 42" wide if you are working inside fenced yards.

You will need a trailer to move the post hole auguring machine and a few extra on call guys to come and help dig. When you hit a rock you obviously need to remove them.

Now, to make the phone ring.

You can put the little signs all over telephone poles, however many areas they are removing them as fast as you put them up so often they are a waste of money.

Telephone Book - Yellow Pages listings are incredibly expensive, and that does little more than a directory listing on line... it just puts you in contact with shoppers. Part of running a thriving business is maintaining a good profit margin. Market share for the Yellow Pages and Phone Directories has been shrinking since the arrival of the internet.

I found last years phone book a few days ago...still in it's plastic bag. I didn't even check the local area to see if there were new builders. It is safe to say that the internet generates far more referrals than any directory on it's own.

A word listing in the phone book is all you need... along with a commercial line which comes with one free listing.
