Are you always running out of cash? Need that little bit extra
. Operating a lawn care service could be just what you need to hustle up some extra cash.
Often homeowners just do not have enough time in the week to maintain their yards to the standard they would like. They want nice yards but dont have the time. This is where your lawn care business comes in.
To make your lawn care business a success you will need several things. You will probably already have them, they are:
Lawn mowers-Ride on and push mowers

Hand tools-Rake, broom, etc
Gas Cans
Means of transporting your tools and mowers
Putting an ad in your local paper can help you get the word out about your new business. To hustle up some extra cash you need to build up some credibility. Word of mouth advertising is another way to bring in business and is one of your best resources as it costs you nothing.
Most councils dont require Lawn service businesses to obtain a business license but being in business it is always best to check. If you do need a license they are generally easily obtainable and quite cheap.
The two biggest mistakes new business owners make when trying to hustle up some extra cash is number one they over quote for a job. The second biggest mistake is they under quote for a job.
Before going out to quote for your own jobs make sure you do some proper research. Find out what your competitors are charging. Even go so far as to hire your competitors to see what they are charging and to guage the quality of their work.
After you know what you should be charging you can then go and quote with confidence, knowing that you are offering a competitive price within your market.
If you want to stay in business for any length of time then you need to do good work. By doing good work and offering a quality service you will find that people will recommend your services to their friends and family. Word of mouth advertising is a priceless resource and should be mined at every opportunity. There is no quicker way to hustle up some cash then by having your business build with word of mouth advertising.
