Cash or 0% financing for me. As a newer company that is expanding fast I’ve buying more new equipment but only at 0%. Most equipment that I fiancé I have the cash for but it is easier to budget payments. Keeps cash available for break downs and such.

As the mother of an 18 year old entrepreneur (lawn business and drone business) who was getting ready to buy a new pick-up, against his parents and grandparents advice, I want to thank you. It was after listening to your podcast that he made the decision to keep his slightly older but well taken care of truck. I listened to what you had to say today and couldn't stop nodding my head and agreeing - exactly what we preach to him, but coming from parents it sounds like a lecture and therefore isn't heard. Keep up the good work - your generation needs more like you :)

Good video, buddy! I’ve been on a Dave Ramsey binge since this year and am trying to follow his principles in paying off my debt and building up my emergency fund after. When I see some of these guys comments, it just reminds me when he talks about getting advice from broke people. This guy knows what he is talking about and is a multi millionaire. Everything in my lawn business I have bought with cash, with the exception of my mower. It’s my next thing to pay off in my snowball though. I don’t like debt and paying everything in cash is definitely the wisest thing. It may go a little slower with growth. But with lots of debt come a lot of risk because if you have a down month, you still have all the payments. That’s how businesses fail!

The nice thing about used machines is you learn how to do repairs and maintenance. And you get good at fixing things. Sometimes it’s better to buy new then to keep fixing equipment even if it means financing. Perfect example. My truck would break down every 3-6 months. Sometimes leaving me stranded. Had to get a new vehicle to replace it. Fortunately had the cash to do it. But it was like making a car payment with all the repairs. And the added hassle of breaking down while on the road.

You're on the right track. Here it comes... buuuut, you should finance some equipment, only if you have cash in the bank to cover it and it has 0% financing. Two major points: first, instead of using you own money use the banks and use the money you have to earn interest. Second, put it under your business name so your business earns credit. Even though you are an LLC your business can still establish credit for future expansion aka with suppliers so an employee can put supplies on an account instead of having a card. I 100% agree with paying cash as much as you can, but for expansion it takes credit to build your business. The most important thing about gaining and using credit is making your payments on time and make sure you have enough cash on hand to pay for the equipment before you apply for credit. Cash back credit cards can be a great tool ONLY if you have the cash on hand to pay them off before you charge a dime.

I understand your strategy and agree to a point. If you want to grow and scale, at some point you will HAVE to borrow/finance money. For instance if you want to get into snow removal, how many years would you have to mow to make enough to pay cash for a 30k skidsteer or plow truck while still maintaining lawn equipment. If you are satisfied being a mowing company your strategy makes 100% sense.

@@Green_Industry_Guy I respect that, but how long did it take you to get there? If you want to add another crew, theres a truck, trailer, couple trimmers, couple mowers, and all of the smaller things. That 125k wont last long. If you want to do landscaping, a small skid (35k), dump truck or dump trailer (10k), 3/4 or 1 ton truck to haul it (25k), plus payroll and winter savings if you don't do snow removal. Revenue that you can make off that equipment for example vs mowing is far greater.

I've seen so many people get into lawn care, financing the pickup, financing the trailer, financing the mowers...get out of it the next year, selling everything for whatever they can get for it because they feel like they're working for free. I bought a lot of stuff for cheap from people like that, some needed repairs, most didn't. The stuff that needed repairs was still under warranty for the original owner but they were so disgusted with working for free they sold it as is where is, and using those things at the end of my own shirtsleeves, I fixed it and still use it.

I keep being told I need a Dun & Brad street number in order to get credit for my business. I was told don' worry about the D&B number. What I cant understand is I have been in business 3 years and this year so far I have brought in 35,000.00 but the bank account shows 5,000.00. I am trying to cut cost back I do my own repairs. Do you deposit cash customers or just use that for expenses?

If you have 10,000 cash you can make 300/ month payment. So what's the upside to working just to pay cash for a mower? Also also , used commercial equipment is a crap shoot. Downtime will kill profit. Plus it's worth the tax deduction for buying new equipment. Nonsense I say 🤦🏾‍♂️

Only reason using cash now is ok because time as change on buying a house. Sorry but I was a bartender and hotel and retail manger for 16 plus years before going to lawn care. In the eary 2000s . When you want buy a car or house back then the bank told me have no credit, not bad credit no credit. Only problem with your way is have seen friends fail and got injured or divorced . Living on just cash is not always the best way to go. Because things can happen and if you have no cash you can't pay for anything with no credit. You should always have a second option. Very put all your eggs in one basket. Going cash is great but having credit on a business is always better. I did everything with cash in my first 2 years but have triple my business and profits. I went to credit using peoples money to make money is always smarter.

0 percent financing isn’t real. Go look at your statements. There’s a built in fee. I run a half a million dollar lawn maintenance company , all cash, and I make over 200,000. You can’t buy it, you can’t afford it.

You should be charging a small monthly cost like gasoline. It builds credit by doing nothing special and no big loan commitment. Definitely charge small monthly costs.

I love buying equiptment from guys that are hawking their stuff because they cant make it work. I rock a jd L110 Echo srm 225 and 2620t echo hand held blower old 5x8 trailer 03 s10 xtreme Oh, my husqvarna hu775eh. The only thing i might buy in the future is a zero turn because my L110 is slow. But, its all mine, paid and in good conditions. I take pride in taking care of my stuff. Live inside your means like you said. If you finance something it aint yours!!!

Bad leveraging with cash all the time. Finance if you have enough business and good interest rates to justify it

I've used credit cards for my business since day 1, but I pay them in full on a weekly basis. Why do I use them? Because I get 3% cashback on fuel, and home improvement stores like Lowe's and HD. The one thing I have to disagree with Blake on is buying used vs new equipment. If you have to choose between buying a used mower or financing a new mower, financing is the lesser of evils. One of my buddies spent 9 months building his lawn care business just to go out of business because his used mower broke down in a bad way. Shops were backed up 2 months during Covid, and he couldn't fix it himself. Then he decides to finance a new mower to save his business, but due to the shortages he couldn't....everything was a 3 month backorder! The way I look at it, you can't afford to buy used equipment....not the other way around. He lost all his customers, his reputation, and everything he worked so hard for.

0% financing or cash 💸 pay it off in 2 years then sell for 5k and go new again. Credit cards are not the way to go. I refuse to pay to use my own $ same with banks. Tax write off as well. Worse case go bankrupt loose the mower start a new company. Plow during the winter

So you cant get a loan for a mower but you can get a loan for a house ? You say pay cash for business expenses like mowers but then you got into credit card debt ? !! LOL !! Before you give advise perhaps you should be completely open about everything. If you are running a business then its OK to have business expenses and write offs. If you have a lawn care business then why would you pay cash for a mower when all these dealerships are offering 0% financing

Please rewatch the credit card video. I was explaining how people get into so much debt that they can never pay it all off. I am debt free except for the house. Loans for houses are different than loans on equipment. I am not claiming to know everything but I am giving my input to try and help people no matter what their age. I have been able to grow quickly by taking the hit of an equipment purchase immediately and then not have my monthly income become bogged down by a bunch of payments. Sometimes titles may not tell the whole story, and I wanted to explain my point because I was nothing but open in these videos!
