End season is near

The season is starting to end. Start looking for new contracts, Most contracts will end in December and commercial accounts will start taking bids this month. Look on your county website, City`s websites look for vendors / purchasing link. You can also if they have it, look at the Current Bids, That will tell you who won the bid last year and how much the county or city is paying them. You can also do state contracts. Listen, There is BIG money in these contracts if your willing to do it and bid on them. Stop and talk with Apartment Mangers, Homeowners' Association for sub-divison. There is money to be made don`t wait till next year to find the work. Get it now while its hot. Come on people get out there beat the bush, Its not always going to come to you, You have to go to it.

Lawn care business tips

Hi Rodman, We were talking in another post about this and I wanted to know if you had more information. Have you come across government bids that gave preference to women owned businesses? If so, do you have any advice as how best to find them?

Goverment always leans towards the Minority. If you are women own business you can almost be certain that you will get the job.

As far as I know, it doesn't matter who the employees are. Certain government contracts give preferential treatment if the company has a majority owner who is female or a minority.

Look down where you see Open Bid .





This is your countys website. I did not see anywhere for bids like I did the citys. BUT you could call ask someone if they do have open bids. And that you would like to become a Vendor.

That's what I want to know. The only thing I can think of would be to go to the neighborhood, knock on a few doors handing out fliers and quotes, and ask the homeowners about the HoA. They should be able to tell you at least an address.
