Even though welding can be traced back to ancient times, this trade still presents an assortment of new, prosperous business opportunities for entrepreneurs looking to enter this industry. Whether traditional handheld tools or advanced equipment are used, a wide range of projects is worked on by welders.

Producing delicate ornaments, repairing cars, working on the side of skyscrapers – there are numerous avenues to explore when setting up a welding business. Yet regardless of which route you take, there are several important steps you have to take if you want to make this venture a successful one.

Below are five tips to remember when starting a welding business.

Tip #1: Have the right qualifications

Before anything else, it’s essential you have the right certifications and qualifications in place that allow you to work as a professional welder. It’s true: you might be able to complete certain tasks without formal qualifications, but clients are unlikely to work with you if you’re unable to demonstrate your expertise.

Do you plan on hiring other employees to complete welding tasks? In that case, you’ll have to ensure they also possess the necessary qualifications.

Tip #2: Pick your equipment

Selecting the right tools is important for any business – and that’s no different for a welding company. While the equipment you use will be dependent on your business type, the essentials include:

  • Welding machine
  • Angle grinder
  • Welding magnets
  • Welding wire
  • Marking tools
  • Welding vices and clams
  • Squaring tools
  • Chipping hammers and hacksaw
  • Fire extinguisher

With a full inventory ready to go, you’ll be able to take on whatever job comes your way. Of course, you might require specific advanced equipment depending on the projects you undertake.

Tip #3: Work with a reliable supplier

Having welding equipment is only the start. You’ll also require a constant flow of materials to complete projects. One such material is plastic welding rods. Yet when you order plastic welding rods, it’s vital you select a reliable supplier.

The right supplier means you don’t have to worry about delays, delivery errors, or inferior products. You can also benefit from their expertise to ensure you’re getting the right materials and products for your business.

Tip #4: Financing your idea

You have equipment and materials to purchase. You may need to splash out on a vehicle, dedicated premises, and employees. Marketing materials, website hosting, utilities – there are many expenses to consider when starting a welding business.

Due to this, you will have to think about how to finance your business idea. This could be with your own funds, a business loan, crowdfunding, and so on.

Tip #5: Build your presence

A new business has to work hard to build its presence. After all, it has to stand out from the current crop of welding companies, aka those that have already spent years marketing their services.

First, start with a website for your welding business. This can detail all of your important business info in one place. Then it’s a case of extending on from this with other marketing channels such as SEO, social media, and pay-per-click ads.
