I’m doing a business plan for my agribusiness management class at the University of Georgia.  I chose concrete pumping as the business for my business plan.  Unfortunately I’m having a hard time finding information.  I have never operated a concrete pump and know little about them or the industry.  I was hoping you guys could help me out with a couple of questions or point me where to look for information. 

I need:

Statistics on the use of concrete pumps.

The best pump for a start up business: brand, size, boom type, ext.

Information on some of the cost: insurance, repair and maintenance,

Information on rates… by the yard or by the hour, average setup fee

I’m including my email address incase the information you want to give needs to be kept confidential. 

Thank you,

Jason Smith

the wife had the same class progect on horses so she got the largest piece of land for the cheep price where there was no market and it was still hard to make it work.

try the angle of a leased unit with job to produce the highest wage possible.

business rule of thumb is dollar invested, dime return and penny profit.
