The lawn service business plan is one of the more common documents prepared at the lending level. While the concept is easy enough to describe, the business plan itself still needs to have as much detail as possible on the components that are important to bankers considering our creditworthiness and the validity of your business model. What sort of lawn care services will you offer? Mowing is standard, but will you have debris clearing, tree pruning, or re-seeding services? Describing these in depth is important. Also vital are these questions:
• How do you intend to market the operation to consumers?
• Will you do any work for commercial clients?
• What amount of lending do you need?
• How many people will work for you, and at what pay rates?
• What is the industry like in your region?
It is also important to look at competing businesses as closely as possible. Do you know their market share, sales, employment rates, etc.? Dun & Bradstreet can supply this information for a fee. The lawn service plan also needs to have a detailed pro forma including a revenue projection with break-even, cash flow, and balance sheet statements as well as a start-up summary.
