How do I start a tire shop with limited funds and no supplier contacts?
Hello I’m Devin and I have been working for myself for over three years doing handyman, pressure washing, tree cutting. Pretty much anything outdoors that need to be done and just burnt out and tired of doing it always wanted to start a new and used tire shop doing oil changes as well. Little minor things like brakes and windshield wipers and bolt lightbulbs for headlights I finally bought two brand new machines tire changer and balancer got most of the tools that I need lacking just a few things but having a hard time with funds, of course, and trying to find some way of being visible in the community I’ve tried Facebook and other social media apps haven’t had much luck hardest thing for me is to fork out so much money for used tires at one time and not having the help of knowing who to contact for getting new tires so any insight would be wonderful thank you in advance

What are the pros and cons of using commercial electric equipment for a lawn care business?
I am starting a lawn business in south Florida in the next few months. I have been doing research on commercial grade electric lawn equipment and was hoping to get some feedback from anyone that has attempted to do this or is currently running electric. What are the pros and cons that you are seeing and experiencing? I'm open for discussion with weed eaters, blowers, zero turn and stand-up mowers, and even chain saws and pole saws. Thanks for the feedback!How do cleaning businesses handle gas blower bans and cover the cost of switching to electric?
Portland started a gas blower ban effective January 1st, 2026. Has anyone experienced similar bans in other cities? How long did it take for business around you to comply? We've an added an additional percentage to any service that require using an electric blower, to cover the higher upfront cost to use. Have you done something similar? Or have you covered the cost in other ways? How did your clients respond?Has anyone jumped out and made their business full time?
Has anyone jumped off the deep end and made their buisness full time I want to I just dont have the equipment to run through the winter! Like a dump trailer for clean up, skid steer, stump grinder, or a small mini x. Can anyone help to find resources for used equipment? I'm trying to save up to make this happen!
Small Property Damage Restoration Company Needing Some Serious Guidance!!!
Hello Everyone, my name is Jonathan and i own a small property damage restoration company in Live Oak, FL. We service a big radius including Gainesville, Ocala, The Villages and much more. Right now its just me as I've been in the industry for 18 years i work better myself but as i get more jobs on each end of my radius of service i will need to hire someone and get a van and get them helping me with these jobs. What's hard right now is i started this business a year an a half ago with nothing, no capital, no loan, just starting a job collecting a deposit and then collecting the rest at the end, and if you know the restoration industry then you know these companies don't survive off of word of mouth. many people will say word of mouth is best but if you think about it, when your home floods normally you call your insurance company or you go to google to hurry and find a company to come out and normally the top 3 companies will be the ones getting picked. So i will need SEO Marketing so that my google business page and website pop up first on google and its very very expensive I've seen 5000-8000 to get started and 2000-3000 monthly to keep you at the top and it does work I've seen it!! but as a company that literally survives off each job and doesn't get that many jobs monthly to begin with its very very hard to get up there with these big companies!!! What really bums me out is after 18 years and working with many many different companies i have a plan to implement all the good traits about these companies I've worked for to create the ultimate restoration company that is there for the community and help the customers and not my pockets like these other companies do!! Basically i need help with funding, i am currently working on my business credit i have many tradelines right now to help me build it cause my personal credit is not good enough to get a loan or any kind of funding! Does anyone know how to get Grants, Funding, Loan, Anything to help me with some working capital??
