RE: Opening Mold Remediation business

[Guest guest]

,

You didn't say what your background was in or why you wanted to go into the mold

remediation business? I can tell you that this is not an easy field, nor is it

one that should be gotten into lightly.

There are a number of organizations that you can go to and " get " a

certification, even some online, however, I can tell you that they aren't worth

the paper they are printed on. Anything that is worth having usually requires

hard work and dedication, even time. You have to put in the work.

As for insurance, I am sure that there is insurance you can obtain, I am equally

sure that it will cost you a lot of money. Good insurance costs money, good

insurance companies require education and experience. It doesn't sound like you

have either of those.

I would recommend that you find a remediation company in New Jersey with a good

reputation, get a job with them for a year and get some experience under your

belt. Starting a business is not an easy thing to do, it's made even more

difficult if you don't know the industry.

So, why start a business in an industry that you don't have experience in? What

is your motivation?

Subject: Opening Mold Remediation business

Hi,

I am planning to go into the Mold Remediation business in NJ. I was

discussing and spending several months with a company in Ohio to

bring that operation down here but things have not worked out. I am

taking the IAQA CMR course in 2 weeks. Given my experience, IAQA will

not give me certification for 8 months to a year. I am also planning

to take a course or 2 with some other Mold Certifying courses that

give certifications a lot easier. I want the IAQ because I think

they can provide me with the best education but to get the company

going faster I want a certification.

One problem that I am running into is that in getting insurance as a

mold remediator. IAQ can provide a company called Legends but they

will not give me insurance until I am certified with IAQA. Can

anyone suggest other companies that I can go to where I can get

insurance as a mold remediator.

Also, does anyone know of people who are looking for work in central

NJ as mold workers?

I appreciate any help or advise. Thank you.
