A vacant portion in your own backyard can be used as a garage for your equipments, chemicals, tools etc. You can start to lease a more spacious lot if the need arises.

Enroll in short term courses regarding the business: proper mowing, trimming, pruning etc. You have to know more than the average persons knew about these things. Make sure that you are up with the demands of the business. This kind of business requires a lot of heavy tasks such as lifting and you will be exposed to harmful chemicals. You have to be physically fit with the physical demands of the business.

Invest in equipments that you will need for your yard care business. It is best to purchase brand new equipments rather than buying refurbished equipments. This will cost you little investment in the maintenance of new equipments rather than spending much in the repair of refurbished equipments.

Open a separate checking account and a savings account for your business. This way you are only going to spend money intended for your business alone. This is a systematic way of doing business rather than incorporating business money with the money intended for you’re your household needs.

Finally, legalize your business. Apply for the necessary licenses and permits to for the operation of your business. Pay your taxes annually to avoid issues with the IRS.
