Hi Tom,

Welcome to our forum.

i will be starting my own lawn mowing company with my wife this coming spring. i have been workin in the field for the past 6 months for a friend of mine. i am going to be coming a partner in his business and will have my own accounts.

Can you tell us a little more on your plan on how all this is going to work?

[lazyhusband]

well thats what i am on here for to learn how to get the clientele and what equipment to use and all the paper work that goes with it. so where should i start.

Well I would get some business cards and start handing them out to everyone I know.

If you are involved in any social organizations, I would tell all of the members about it and then I would scale that up to handing out flyers in my area etc.

Start with the simple marketing concepts and scale them up as you go.
