We show you the “business” side of guiding.  This is because if you want to become a guide or start a guide service it is ultimately a business and successful businesses have many considerations to operate in a profitable manner.

Now Let’s Get Started!

Here are some key items that need consideration when starting a business including guide services:

  • How will you find customers?Snow Goose Hunting Guide Picture
  • How much to charge for your services?
  • How will you fund your business?
  • What type of business formation will you choose (Sole Proprietorship, LLC, etc…)?
  • What if any insurance, legal and license requirements are there?
  • What training or guide school will you need to attend?
  • Having a website for your business
  • What are your Refund/Cancellation policies?

Business Considerations Specific to Hunting Guide Jobs and Fishing Guide Jobs:

  • Seasonality of the game you offer guided trips for
  • Location where you will do your guiding at
  • Licenses, equipment and lodging needs of your clients

Starting your own guide service is a very exciting time and we are here to help you understand the many items that go into starting a guide service.

Lets review some of the benefits of becoming a guide:

Guiding can give you independence in scheduling-

This means that you can set your own hours and decide when to book clients and when not to book clients.  It also allows you to be in control of your earning potential.  If you work hard in marketing your guide service and are willing to be available to take as many clients as possible you have great earning potential.  However, be aware that the more you are available the more you can make.  Also, you need to be sure that you are available during your peak seasons.

Owning a business gives you job stability-

Running a successful guide business does take time and hard work-

One of the biggest challenges of any business is getting customers.  However, we offer resources to help outline how to find your first customers, gain referrals and earn repeat business year after year.  Outside of gaining customers, another challenge of owning a guide service is learning all of the business aspects of running a service.
