ME AND MYFRIENDS ARE STARTING A BUSSINESS TELL ME IF THIS A GOOD <span title="IDEa?????????????????????????????????????????">IDEa?????????????????????...</span>

Question

ok we are going to start a lawn mowing/dog care/ car washing business and we have made a meeting, flyer's and have assigned almost everybody we need to the employee branch. i am the supervisor for the car washing branch since i came up with it, and and i'm going to do a little financial work. my other fried, who is 16 is the ceo and is going to control everything. im really not going to break everything down but their are 7 of us, and we plan taking care of 6 houses a day on the week end and 1 on the weekdays because some of us me and one of my friends have football practice. we live in a a really suburban area the average size of a yard down here is about 7000 sq. ft, our charge for a whole house will range from $75 -$115. that depends on what options they pick for car washing and the size of the lawn. average charge will be about $95... so 95 *17 houses / by 7 head employees = about 230 a week (our over head is 123 so...) 230 - (123/7) = 213 a week. does that sound reasonable

Answer 1

kinda pricey,, no more than 20 for mowing lawn

no more than 15 for car wash

no more than like 8 for walking a dog

dont expect big business right away,,your getting your hopes up

you might have your first 6 months with one or two people

just because you can handle it, doesnt mean ur gonna get it

be friendly to their neighbors because they might want you, word of mouth, dont spit it is very disrespectful and no trash talking

good idea i guess

Answer 2

Just one opinion I&#039;d like to interject.

It&#039;s much easier and would be much more profitable to start much smaller and with only one &quot;business&quot;.

If you need to divide into two &quot;business&#039;&quot; and divide the crew into 2 crews, it will be much more manageable, much less fighting and much less finger pointing at the end.

Good luck with it.

Answer 3

So far you are doing O K but,,,,,, do you have any jobs as yet?  I think you are all in trouble because there are too many hands in the fire..... Why don&#039;t you ask one of your Parents to help you... God Bless.  Stay honest and work hard and long and you will make money.....

Where I live your charges are very high!!!  unless you mean lawn mowing + car washing.  I own a corner lot and it is mowed and trimmed for me at $35.00... I spend $7 at the car wash for each car...... HAVE FUN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 4

well if it is just 4 of u guys together u will make 403.75.  That is alot better.  7 is too much and some might  not do it you know what i mean.  if i were you i would go with 4 people this way you could make double the money.

Answer 5

its sounds a little expensive. i would lower the price since its going to be hard to get business when your new so you should start a little lower in price.

good luck!

Answer 6

sounds like a good idea to me
