landscaping business startup?

How do I start my own landscaping business? There are a few landscapers in the area that cater primarily to residential customers. In contrast, I want to focus more on commercial and larger projects. How would I get started? Do I need special training? I have a pretty good business background, and a few commercial "contacts." Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I live in Illinois, and I would like to offer maintenance, planting, seeding, sodding, mulching, and perhaps retaining wall installation.

You need to look at getting your contacts ready for this season if you have the equipment ready. If not make sure you can go for next year. Mowing season is coming fast. One thing you might want to check with is your local and state Chamber of Commerce, along with any Small Business organizations, and ask for info on how to start a business, and for grants or loans for small business start-ups. We had a customer who started his landscape business with a grant from the federal government. The only bad thing is you might have to jump through some hoops to get them.

I don’t know about your area, but in Indiana you can not even use a bottle of Round-up on someones yard with out a license. So if you are going to spray chemicals, check with a local commercial farm store and get info on what needs to happen so you could spray chemicals.

DO NOT get any equipment from a "Big Box" store. They will not have big enough equipment, and none of their warranties will cover commercial use. Your best friend in all of this is your local Lawn and garden dealer. I’ll give you some companies you can use a dealer locate for some names of dealers in your area.

I hope this helps

Where do i go to apply for small business startup grants from the government?


Through the looking glass, because it is only a fantasy that the government gives grants to people to start a small business.

That is why guys like Matthew Lesko who sells the secret of getting these grants is constantly under investigation for fraud, because he is selling a lie.

The government gives out grants to encourage specific behavior, but does not finance peoples start-up businesses. I work for a government agency and I have to answer this question everyday. There are no grants to finance business start-ups, there is no free money.

What equipment and tools would be needed to start an Aquarium Setup and Startup business?

Am thinking of starting my own business of setting up aquariums and getting them started for people who either don’t have the time or know how…or they are just lazy. What would I need to do this? I’ve done aquariums, both fresh and salt since I was about 10, so my knowledge is fairly high on how to set up tanks, but didn’t know if anyone had an idea of equipment or tools I would need to have.

Well, first off a van to move the tanks, stand and other equipment for the people. Also to carry your equipment. If you are doing set up only, you really wouldn’t need much else other than plenty of insurance! Remember, if a large tank bursts a seam while you are filling it and ruins stuff in the house, the people will sue you, if they don;t their insurance company will, so loads of insurance against such things will be good. I would also have a contract that they sign that says you are not responsible for faulty tanks or other equipment or for improper placement of the tank if you have not been consulted about the placement of the tank.

If you plan on this to be a maintenance business as well, you would need a very long python, trashcans on wheels, power head to pump water, salt mix, thermometers, anything you can thing of that would normally be needed for keeping a tank. Also plan on getting a business license that allows you to sell goods. That way you can sell the people new heaters when one breaks, new filter pads, filter parts, lights, etc, etc.

You’ll need not only a way to haul this stuff but a place to store extra as well.

Best of luck!

What legal information do I need for my startup business?

I am starting an online service to match those in need of residential services with the contractors who actually do the work. The service is free for the homeowners in need of service, and the leads that go to the contractors are charged at 5-10 dollars per lead. The website consist of a form where the user enters personal information about their home and their project requirements. I do have an SSL certificate in place on my server to protect peoples’ personal information.

What legal documentation is necessary for a business like the one described above?

You will need to file with your state to collect sales tax on in-state sales and get a "doing business as" certificate. If you want to incorporate you will have to take care of that, but it is not necessary or important right now.
