Building a Business from Scratch ft. Louis Younis | Ep. 04

August 17, 2023 • Louie Dib • Season 1 • Episode 4

In this episode of the Finance Fusion podcast, we have Louis Younis, founder and director of ITF Hire, a company specialising in temporary fencing, crowd control barriers, portable toilet hire and servicing, liquid waste management, and internal and external hoarding.

Louis shares his journey from a novice labourer to a business empire builder, the mindset he adapts that led to ITF Hire's rise in the temporary fencing and hoarding industry, and how he overcame initial setbacks to build a business that services Tier One construction companies.

He also talks about why a long-term strategy is crucial for sustainable success, how to build a capable team and hire individuals with diverse strengths, the pivotal role of specialised asset finance brokers in acquiring essential equipment, and the importance of doing thorough calculations and using tools like the NAP calculator before making big investments.

If you want to learn more about the fencing industry and how to master growth through acquisitions, marketing, risk-taking, and innovation, make sure to tune in to this episode!
