5 great reasons you should consider a lawn care business
What’s your dream job?
Don’t worry if you don’t have an answer. Most people don’t, but you don’t have to. For many of us, being our own boss and finding a career that is personally and professionally rewarding is a perfectly good goal.
If lawn care is something you’ve always dreamed about doing, then great! Don’t read any further – just give me a call and we can talk about whether or not a Lawnkeeper franchise is the best way for you to fulfil that dream.
However, if like most people, you are considering a few different options for opening your own business, here are the 5 best reasons why lawn care might be the way to go:
1. There is a huge market waiting to be tapped into
There are about 18 million lawns in the UK, and still only around 1 million customers use a professional lawn care service, so there is still huge potential for growth. Not to mention all the new houses which are being built every year, many of which will have brand new lawns and brand new customers!
2. Loyal customers & recurring revenue
Maintaining a beautiful lawn requires regular attention and servicing. Lawn care services often involve regular, recurring contracts, so you can enjoy a predictable income stream all year round. On top of that, there is always consistent demand for lawn care services, and you can always expect a steady stream of new customers.
3. Low start-up costs
Compared to starting a business in other industries, lawn care is very affordable. No need for expensive premises or set-up fees – just a van, a phone, and some basic equipment and chemicals – meaning it is far less financially risky than most other businesses.
4. Low running costs
Unlike running a business which requires premises, or an office or shopfront, you won’t be tied down by expensive leases and business rates. As you can start out on your own, you don’t have to worry about paying employees either – until you’re ready to expand, of course. Which means better profits all round!
5. Freedom & flexibility
You’re still going to have to work hard but, this time, you’ll be in the driving seat. A lawn care business is a great choice for someone who wants a lifestyle where they are no office politics, no depressing commute, and no long hours you can’t control – just you, your van, and a whole lot of beautiful lawns!
