Grow Your Lawn Care Business Her bookworming began after she discovered the Harry Potter series. Her love of books evolved into writing and creating content. When she's not writing, you can find her watching a new sci-fi series or shoving her nose into a book. However, as your business grows, you can begin to offer more services, and more services often means more equipment. Additional equipment you will need:.
One common mistake of lawn care and landscaping business is to buy or rent too much equipment. Too often businesses get equipment on impulse without looking at their financial or operational plan if any. Experts recommend that your equipment should be busy and billable percent of the time. Consider buying the equipment when your company will use it 50 percent of the year or more. Some businesses decide by looking at the number of jobs they need to have in order to pay for the tool — and then make the decision if they can pay for it in a year.
Prepare a financial plan, and calculate how much revenue a tool represent and only buy those tools and equipment that can bring the payback in a short time. Renting equipment on the other hand allows you more control and flexibility in your inventory. Renting is also a smart first step in deciding whether you need to buy the equipment as it allows you the flexibility to try out different makes of equipment to decide the brand and model you would like to purchase.
For a start-up business or when introducing a new service, renting your equipment at least for the first season makes a lot of sense as it allows you to test the business without the huge investment required for a brand new equipment.
