How do you go about starting up your own lawn care business?

Public Comments

1. first of all it does help to have clientel.....that was my mistake...second you need equipment, buisness cards, and a phone # where cleints can reach you.
2. You'll need to set it up as business, charging tax, etc. Check with your local county clerk. You may just need a dba form to fill out (doing business as), unless you just want to use your own name.
3. Go to http://www.score.org/ to find the nearest SCORE chapter. Contact them to arrange for a free one on one meeting with a SCORE counselor about starting a lawn care business.
