Your Company’s Paycheck is its Profit.

Why Construction Companies Need a Profit Plan, a Functional Structure, and the Discipline to Monitor Results

When a company is losing money, it typically comes down to one of three causes:

• It lacks an effective Profit Plan.

• Its organizational structure is not aligned to deliver that plan.

• It’s failing to effectively monitor and manage results.

Every business needs a clear Profit Plan. That means knowing in advance:

• How much gross profit will be generated?

• How much net profit will remain?

• And what is the plan for using that net profit?

Think of your company as a living entity — one you gave birth to when you started the business. Like every employee, the company needs a paycheck. That paycheck is profit.

As a business owner, you expect to know how much you’ll earn and when you’ll receive it—so you can pay bills, invest in assets, save for the future, and prepare for taxes.

Your company is no different. It also needs predictable profits to pay down debt, fund growth, build reserves, and remain compliant.

If you don’t pay your company — if you don’t plan for its profit — it will eventually stop working for you.
