How do you plan to do the 3 jobs? Start with what you have. If you get 20 accts then try to find some good used commercial equipment - minimum 36" wb mower, backpack blower, and trimmer.

IMHO At your age find a large upscale company and go to work for them. Learn all you can and then in a few years go in business for your self.
