I've noticed lately that I am getting more offers of cash for jobs that I'm tendering for, which I won't take for patriotic and taxation reasons. Inevitably, I haven't gotten any of these jobs and it is glaringly obvious that someone else has taken them on. The net result is that my business is gone very quiet (it's in construction so that's a given anyway) and looks like it's going to stay that way for the foreseeable future.
My reckoning is that some businesses are, to put it politely, screwing their C2 status in this year and won't have their C2s re-issued next year, which should hopefully free up more work for legitimate and honest businesses. Problem is trying to keep one's head above water until that happens. Basically, some of us are sitting on the sidelines with no work, waiting for other businesses to go down the drain and hoping we can still be around when they eventually and inevitably do.
I'm quoting jobs at cost and getting beaten on price so it's quite obvious that something has to lose out, most likely its revenue. Is this affecting other business, especially outside construction as its the obvoius one.
