Question by : Why is my landscaping business not good?
I started my own landscaping business about a year ago. I have not been very successful as I thought I would be. Until know, I barely have about 7 customers that get service from me on a monthly bases. I have been advertising myself on a couple websites and newspapers. What could I be doing wrong? Do you have any suggestions?

In this economy, my yard is the last thing I'm worried about. What people are spending their money on right now is necessities, not luxuries.

Try working with businesses rather than individuals.

Question by Dougyboy: I own a landscaping/ lawncare and construction company, how do I get alot of business?
I own my own company and business is not as good as I want it to be. I am only working three days a week because I am not getting enough customers. I mainly want the landscaping and lawn care to increase in customers. I have vehicle magnets, cards, refrigerator magnets, and I occasionally go door to door advertising. I need some help on how to advertise and get lots of customers.

Question by nick b: My friends and I started up a landscaping business last summer, what legal issues should we be worried about?
We started a "landscaping" company called the Odd Job Squad last summer where we do just about any odd job for people and we have gotten fairly well known throughout a couple of towns by word of mouth and handing out hundreds of flyers. We have been making enough money now (about $ 15,000 a summer between 3 people) and have become well known enough that we are thinking about registering our company. What does this entail and what could doing this save us from legally (IRS, working liabilities, etc.)? Thanks!

Get an attorney and make sure your company is registred as partnership and legal. Do all the legal forms and file taxes on time.
Irs.gov has more infos on business.
