Business Activities:
Brickforce offers a wide range of services including:
Drywalling
Extensions
Painting
Tiling
Roofing
Demolition
Alterations
Challenges/Needs:
Like many small contractors, Brickforce faced several early-stage hurdles:
Limited cash flow and resources, which restricted the ability to scale and take on
larger projects
Competitive market conditions, making client acquisition slow and challenging
Small workforce, resulting in tight scheduling and pressure to meet deadlines
Compliance requirements, including NHBRC registration, added administrative
complexity
Lack of marketing tools, which hindered visibility and access to new contracts
To address these issues, the company applied to SEDFA’s Asset Assist Programme for the
2023/2024 cycle.
