I'm located in Utah. I need some advice on starting a tree service and tree removal business here in Utah.
1. What are the best books and videos on actually doing the work and running this type of business?
2. What is the right amount of equipment for starting out and how many people really are needed on most jobs for doing the job and covering all safety concerns.
3. I will not be taking out any type of loan for anything, but I do have a $5,000.00 tax return coming in three months. I already have a truck and a trailer with two chainsaws. I want to start out in the business owning everything I have and grow bigger slowly over time. Eventually I'd like to just bid jobs and have employees doing all the work, but this would be a few years down the road.
4. What are the good ways to make money in this business that are not thought of as part of the business. Selling fire wood?
Thanks for any help.
Mike
