If you want to start a new business but you don’t have any crazy idea set to make you millions, a really good bet to make is to get into contracting. There will always be demand for you and you can absolutely make millions of dollars as a contracting business. So here are three of the best ones that you can start with both easy options and an option with the most potential to profit a lot.
The first business is Window Washing. This is one of the easiest to start as you don’t need any crazy licenses or skills that take years to obtain. Another huge advantage is that you’re not very vulnerable to price increases in materials as you aren’t building anything, you’re maintaining it. It also doesn’t cost much to start. So if you want a really easy way to get started in contracting and have an easy business to start and scale, window washing is for you.
Now if you want those benefits of being easy to start but you want to get into making a ton of money per job and collect 6-figure checks from your clients here is the option for you. That’s landscaping. By starting out as a maintenance only company you make it very cheap to get into and very easy to do so. Now as you grow the business and your skills you can get into more than the maintenance and start building some landscapes. The progression with landscaping is very forgiving and it’s also an amazing industry to make some serious profits.
Finally, and this is if you want to make a ton of money tomorrow but you aren’t scared to work like crazy today. That is electrical contracting. Now there are two ways to get into it, one is by getting a master electrician license and the other is by partnering with someone who has one. So if you are already a journeyman, getting your master license could be a genuine option. However, that is mostly likely not your case and you’ll need to partner with someone that does. Find someone that’s good at electrical work and wants nothing to do with the business side of things and you’ll be set for some good profits. Demand for electricians is insanely high and it’ll only continue to grow especially in the commercial sector.
So if you want to start a contracting business in 2026 those are some of your best options that you should consider.
