The Business End of the Business
Local, state and federal taxing authorities are very interested in
the profit you stand to make from your sand and gravel business.
Even if you intend to handle all your own bookkeeping, it’s a
good idea to consult an accountant for advice on taxes, payroll
and how to structure your company to best protect your assets.
You must comply with your state’s laws governing
unemployment compensation, workers compensation,
commercial liability insurance requirements.

Sand is the single
most mined
commodity, eclipsing
minerals and metals
by a colossal margin.
Around 85% of the
material we pull up
from the earth is sand,
gravel or other
aggregate materials.
Sand is also the most
consumed substance
after water, being
used in virtually every
construction or
manufacturing
process, even used as
an ingredient in
toothpaste.
