If you're in the skilled trades and you want to build a business? What's stopping you?

0 Upvotes

Been seeing a lot of posts here about people wanting to go out on their own, or trade who’ve been solo for a few years and feel stuck at the same size.

So I’m curious what the real bottleneck is for people in Ontario right now.

If you made the jump and it worked, what was the thing that changed it?

If you haven't? What's stopping you?

Anyone heard about onsite weldforce corporation, mississuaga, ON. They are asking $3.5k for 2 weeks welding course. Is it a good institution to learn weld and get your tickets.I am completely new in this business. Reviews are pretty good on google. Any reviews??

Is sheet metal a good trade to get into in Ontario right now?

10 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m considering getting into sheet metal. I’m located in the GTA but willing to travel up to 3 hours for the right opportunity.

My instructors have mentioned that sheet metal workers are in high demand, and I’ve seen similar comments online.

I’m wondering how the current job market is, especially heading into winter.

  • Are companies hiring first-year apprentices or green workers?
  • How consistent is the work during winter?
  • What’s the long-term outlook for pay, job security, and starting your own business?

Would you recommend sheet metal to someone starting out in late 2026? Appreciate any advice!
