Starting a Lawn Care Business from Scratch [Step-By-Step] Insurance, License, Trucks

[@paulnicoli9455]

This guy is a genius

[@robertpoindexter8616]

Maybe but he’s grown to big for quality..see their trucks around St. Louis a lot.. sniping their customers is easy cuz they are astronomical on price and just hire anyone that has legs. Their yards are mowed maybe a little nicer than the kid down the street. He does have good business sense tho I’ll admit that

[@erincovey3220]

Literally everything I search around starting a lawn care businesses you have a video for! Thanks so much for all the hard work you put into these videos

[@Inpatientgardener]

I just want to say I've been watching your videos for about a year and I'm only trying to grow my business around a quarter million dollars so a lot of your content wasn't directly towards me but the last 6 months of content I really believe is helpful to anybody who is in the industry I really appreciate your videos keep up the hard work and I love your mindset really helps me out brother

[@Misterpoisonivy]

Broooo the business credit card with the company expenses was the best I heard ever. I always asked how could I rasie the business credit and that’s one way there…. U da man 👨 💯

[@chasejacob9826]

Dude this video helped me so much as well as many others. I had so many questions on what I needed to do to grow and become a legit business and you just answered them. Keep up the great work.

[@420zyzer]

Currently working on these steps thanks for your help

[@marsked1780]

Big fan out of Australia! Inspired me at 22 to get into the industry and make a difference in customers experiences. Thanks a lot mate!

[@Camo-Dan]

Mike thank you so much for sharing these steps to get started. I’m currently trying to start my own lawn care business and I have a Toyota Tundra and an older high end residential husqvarna zero mower that I already own so I think I’m slightly ahead on that end but I didn’t know where to start with the business end of things. This video cleared that up. Thanks again!

[@jefryinocente6589]

Checking in from Arkansas ✔️💰- thx for the vid!

[@brianfletcher7942]

Great info, Mike. In many/most states the business is registered through the Secretary of State. DOL much like the UBI is the Washington state specific nomenclature.

[@MikeAndes]

Correct. I forgot to clarify

[@increaseroasusa]

[@alersjjoutdoors6526]

Love your videos man and thanks alot for all this info 💪🏼💪🏼👊🏼👊🏼…

[@stephenschufeldt9132]

You just answered a question I had. Thank you for the information!!

[@lilfreezy3453]

hey i’m in canada so what do i use instead of a ubi and a ein

[@LawnscapesAmerica]

Hey Mike, the UBI # must be a state of Washington thing. EIN # is what everyone needs to open a business account no matter where you are in the states & the same whether it’s to open an account in a brick & mortar bank or a Fintec ( online ) bank unless it’s under their SS# ( DBA). 1 or more employees then you would also need a business #. People would have to get that from their local office & then they would be subject to Workman’s comp b/c you now have an employee (s). Anyway hope that helped. Other than that you were spot on.

[@MikeAndes]

True. I forgot to clarify about UBI ✅

[@calebbartlett1776]

Hey mike I was wanting to know how you price your weed spraying. I know you sometimes spray for every mow.

[@tractorworkandmore411]

Thanks Mike!

[@fishinwiththebradleys8542]

So, Monthly you'll need roughly, 50$ for general liability insurance, 500$ for business vehicle insurance, and whatever else for gas, equipment etc ? The dang vehicle insurance gotta be so expensive 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@mattsharkey311]

Thanks as always for the great video Mike.

[@andrewsieber4758]

Hey mike, in relating to ads of facebook, instagram or any others. What platform do you use or what app do you use to creat those ads

[@MikeAndes]

Facebook Ads is built into your Facebook Page… go to tab on the left called “Ads Center”

[@ervinvelasquez3614]

What about pesticide and herbicide licenses ?

[@rauljrlara9994]

Hey there. I'm from California. I' want to get my landscaping license . Any book recommendations ? Please if appreciate it.

[@JustBuckinAround]

[@fabulousfinds1045]

What about a business license?

[@DennisWinek]

What’s a good place online to get a LLC

[@busybeezlawnservices4125]

Mike I want to name my business busy bee's lawn services the wife doesn't I've checked with llc busy bees is a maid service in lower part of the state do I change the lettering or check on trademarks for the state first

[@MikeAndes]

You will be fine if you put “lawn care” in your name

[@busybeezlawnservices4125]

@@MikeAndes even for thinking 5 to 10 years ahead where if I go into landscape, hardscape, then eventually tree work? Just thinking long term as well

[@backtoedenallnaturallandsc5547]

Hey Mike, If I’m not mistaken UBI numbers are unique to Wa state correct? Thanks again for all you do man!

[@MikeAndes]

Correct. I missed that part of my notes ✅

[@ThatTexan2002]

[@BENITEZZZZZZZ]

How to start as a kid?

[@BENITEZZZZZZZ]

Teen*

[@dylanpratzner3247]

You can try to find customers who has equipment you can use until you can buy your own, that or work another job to save up that initial money

[@phelpshero2454]

This really helped but sounds like a lot of money you put into insurance.
