The Challenge

Raj was stuck in the "feast or famine" cycle of small jobs. An opportunity arose—a $120,000 full-service restaurant renovation bid—but he was forced to pass because it required coordinated electrical, HVAC, and tiling work, which was far beyond his scope. He realized his individual expertise in plumbing was not enough to access bigger revenue opportunities, he needed a scalable, reliable team he didn't have to hire full-time.
