It’s unfortunate that any small business would have to verify legitimacy when offering social contact options as a source of generating new customers for business. Unnecessary false business inquiries are a waste of time and resources so it hinders productive and profitable business operations. This is something that BFR has dealt with in the past and will continue to have to deal with until the perpetrators simply give up and decide to address their own personal issues that have nothing to do with BFR. Actions such as sending unnecessary website/social media notifications, contacting a business without intending to use its services and calling blocked regularly fall into this category. These are small things that can easily be handled with persistence, patience and common sense.
BFR relies heavily on its website ”Contact Form”, Google business page and simple word of mouth to operate so wasting time isn’t an option. With that said, Stephanie unintentionally had the BFR team on their toes with her quote inquiry. The phone number and the fact that the quote inquiry consisted of a maintenance request, hydraulic cylinder repair, new tires and a brake job unfortunately had the BFR team questioning the credibility. If you have been following the website, one of the latest updates consisted of all of these exact same repairs. 😂😳 Luckily, BFR called the number and a real Stephanie answered so the legitimacy was gratefully confirmed. This is an old 1990’s forklift so an appointment is required in favor of the customer to examine the needed parts as they are more expensive and difficult to get. BFR appreciates the opportunity of adding another local customer to the list!

Here’s to wishing all of BFR’s customers a Happy and Blessed Easter!!! ❤️ Being spiritual has its place in all professional business and personal roles.
A journey with God is no different than any other one. When you start anything, such as a business, there is a lot that you didn’t understand, but you surround yourself with the right people and it starts to make more and more sense.
The devil has the bound to all things evil and negative (crime, murder, mental illness, addiction, etc.). It’s not them that we need to understand. It’s the spirit in them that’s keeping them this way and it’s killing them because that’s what the devil wants… to kill, steal and destroy all. Things like drugs, criminals, liars and manipulators are prayed over demonically. Remember, we are not fighting against flesh and blood but against the principalities of this world. The devil knows his time is running out so he’s trying to kill off who he can. We have to understand that life is a spiritual battle. Many people can’t comprehend how you can have a relationship with God and not be religious. But the truth is, many of us got much closer to God once we evolved beyond organized religion. God is too big to be limited to any ideology! Let it be known about your spiritual business today and everyday! 💯

What a fantastic piece of work this forklift has been for BFR this week! Cleaning up another’s mess is always an interesting challenge. This particular customer requested BFR’s aid all the way from Mooresville.
For starters, it was running rough. Come to find out, the v-belt was twisted on. 😳 An amateur “mechanic” was at work for this type of thing to happen. BFR repaired that problem, only to still have rough idle which is usually a sign of bad spark plugs. The engine in this poor Hyster was nearly like an old spark plug popping Ford that damages the aluminum cylinder head threads. Luckily, professional forklift mechanic Brad was able to ease the spark plugs out of the threads with no damage and replace with all new ones. Bam! The forklift ran much better afterwards. However, to get this forklift back up and running in tip top shape, it needed much more than that. Other required repairs included a full service with fresh fluids and filters, two new steer tires, three different hydraulic cylinder repairs and a complete brake job. This forklift was put back in service with one satisfied customer! Here’s to the next lucky customer that deserves efficient forklift repair services! 💯
Tomorrow, April 15th, is Tax Day! Cheers to making the most cost effective tax decisions for your small business.
🚨IMPORTANT INFO for Small Business Owners🚨
Sole Prop vs. LLC (Taxed as S-Corp):
Choosing between a sole proprietorship and an LLC taxed as an S-Corp can have a major impact on your taxes.
Here's how they compare:
1. Sole Proprietorship:
2. LLC Taxed as S-Corp:
Key Difference: The major difference is self-employment tax-you pay it on the full income in a sole prop, but only on your salary in an S-corp.
Estimated Tax Savings: $16,365
Takeaways:
There are other accounting variables and factors to take into consideration based on a small businesses structure but the results still remain the same. An S-corp can reduce taxes as your income grows. Salary must be "reasonable" for IRS defense. Sole props are simpler but can lead to higher taxes. Always Consult a tax professional for personalized tax advice.

Speaking of quotes, shoutout to Shelia from Miami, Florida for contacting BFR to schedule maintenance and repairs for her two Toyota forklifts as her design business is moving to Thomasville, NC.

BFR would like to take a moment to thank all of the customers who used the website contact/chat widget for services in March! Ten new customer online inquiries to schedule for services in 21 business days is an accomplishment for BFR. This doesn’t count the calls from the Google page or repeat customers so business satisfaction has been fulfilled and several of those services will continue in the month of April. 🥳
BFR’s favorite inquiry from the month of March was from Kyle. You can’t beat a customer that knows how to knock two birds out with one stone. BFR may be a forklift repair business but can literally work on anything with an engine! Most forklifts have a GM (Chevy), Mazda (Ford), Toyota, Nissan or Perkins engine so if one has the ability to repair forklifts, then they also have the ability to repair automobiles and anything with a small engine. Brad has experience repairing all of it from tons of automobiles to weed trimmers, Craftsman and Cub Cadet v-twin lawnmowers, portable generators, Sea Doo 900 jet skis, boats with Suzuki, Johnson and Mercury’s, building the coolest Yamaha and baddest 750/800 v-twin Kawasaki atvs/side x sides that would run with stock 1000’s to even owning a super bad stretched crotch rocket in his boyhood days. One can only thank God those days are over, with the decision to graduate to manhood in a safe cockpit concerning hobbies and obtaining a personal will to want to live.
Let’s highlight the differences between automotive/forklift engine repair and the over saturated market of small engine repair (it’s described as saturated as there’s 2 businesses within 5 miles of BFR’s residence plus many more).
Small engine repair focuses on servicing smaller, simpler engines found in equipment like lawnmowers, trimmers, and generators, while automotive (forklift) repair deals with the more complex engines found in cars and trucks, typically requiring more advanced diagnostics and repair techniques due to their size and complexity; essentially, small engine repair is generally considered less intricate and faster to complete compared to automotive (forklift) repair.
Key Differences:
Engine Size:
Small engines are significantly smaller with lower horsepower, while automotive (forklift) engines are larger and more powerful.
Equipment Serviced:
Small engine mechanics work on equipment like lawnmowers, snow blowers, chainsaws, and portable generators, whereas automotive (forklift) mechanics focus on car engines.
Complexity:
Small engines usually have simpler designs with fewer components, making repairs often more straightforward. Automotive (forklift) engines, on the other hand, have intricate systems with many parts, requiring more specialized knowledge and tools.
Repair Time:
Small engine repairs typically take less time to complete compared to repairs on a car (forklift) engine.
BFR is thrilled to have customers that can differentiate between boys and men. Bearing more responsibility is a sign of high emotional development and maturity. Men start to become a helping hand for customers, friends, family and even strangers, instead of a burden. Boys haven't suffered enough low points in life yet, so everything is just a party, which is an excuse to have fun at any cost, thinking they have nothing to lose so it's fine to take risks. Men have things to care about so taking risks isn't just about them anymore. Of course, one must take certain risks to grow in life but some risks are life threatening and not worth it. A good man who has a good woman and family at home will always value any opportunity to avoid serious life threatening risks. The same principles apply to girls/women and this information isn’t April Fool’s! 😂😉💯 On the other hand, Brad is good at April Fool’s jokes and traditionally gets the serious Mrs. BFR every year. This year, he leaves at 6 a.m. for a 2 hour away job in Indian Trail and pretends he’s broke down. 😂😂😂
The BFR crew is ready to rock the rest of the year after battling the “once a year” illness that started two Monday’s ago and wouldn‘t be wished on an enemy. This germ had Laryngitis (loss of voice) and conductive (muffled) hearing loss so customers don‘t be surprised if you see the BFR team hosing down forklifts with Lysol. 😂
This week started off on a positive note with completing forklift maintenance and a tire replacement at an Amazon return warehouse in Randleman. The BFR team is also resellers so partnering with these types of warehouses is a must! So far, BFR has acquired a handful of resell customers from Prospect Hill to Randleman and would like to partner with as many as possible. This type of partnership is beneficial in that BFR gets to work on forklifts and the business generates extra income through Mrs. BFR shopping the warehouse. This particular business has 2 locations, the other in Winston-Salem. Their business structure is unique in that they offer different deals for each day. For example, on Mondays everything is $14 each, Tuesday is $10, Wednesday is $3, Thursday is $1 and Friday is 50 cents. BFR completed service on a day where everything was $3 each, picked up a couple of lamps and one resold within 15 minutes of listing.
To be a reseller, one must utilize apps to check comps. While out it is possible to scan any item and see its comps before purchasing. It will show how many of that exact item have sold in the last 30 days and for how much so one can determine if the item is worth purchasing for resell purposes. This keeps inventory moving quickly.
If you own a resell warehouse with a forklift, please contact BFR today! You’ll be glad you did!
The deadline is growing near! All LLC’s must file their annual report by April 15th! The purpose of the North Carolina Secretary of State's Business Registry is to provide a central, searchable database for all business entities registered in North Carolina, ensuring transparency and facilitating the oversight of businesses operating within the state. This is also where small businesses are credited for their years of operation. This website gives all the facts to determine legitimate business names to proof of how long in business, things that an unethical business would be dishonest about can be brought to light using the SOS website. Taken into consideration that BFR used to be fashionably late with annual reports the first couple of years of business but give credit where credit is due, BFR was on time in 2024 and plans to file an early annual report in 2025. (BFR is getting a grasp of all the responsibilities now). It’s unfortunate that certain competitors do not take this deadline seriously and unacceptably file months late so look up your “favorite” forklift repair company to ensure they’re legitimate today!
