10 POINTS FOR BEST ANSWER

I would like to start up a lawn care service, and note: if I start it I will be working at it very hard - I hope to go to college for either business or entrepeanuereship (wow BAD spelling, sorry) and I will take this very seriously! I want to know what kind of business plan I should have, I obviously want to make it like a real business plan but a very simple one - I have to wait until football is over so I will have a good amount of time to make my business plan before I will be able to start.

I am 15, going to be 16 in late november and I will be able to drive which would be a plus for the company once I turn 16, my parents want me to have a job so I’m sure they will lend me the car to work for the company.

I want to be a cheap and reliable service for families that want a cut lawn but don’t want to pay a landscaping company to do it for a large amount of money. I will be going alone on this until I have enough houses that I can use the help.

I need to know about the business plan, how I make it and how I determine how to:
- Price my service
- Decide when to hire someone, most likely a friend
- How much to pay for a lawn mower, should it be gas, self-propel, or elelectric?
- How I should advertize myself
- and anything else you can think of

Please let me know your thoughts either in an explaination or a link to a good website that will help me with this, thank you very much!

I don’t have any money to buy one, and really need to get this job. I lost my job with Ameriquest and now have to work low end jobs at 1/10 the pay I was making. I just need to know the format and such. Many thanks.
