I have been running my little landscaping business for 3 or 4 years while in high school. Nothing to big, maybe about 20 accounts. i have found it is hard to get things done while away at college and looking for suggestions. I was thinking of getting a partner who is out of school....i would love to hear your thoughts.

partnerships rarely work......maybe find a worker to do the lawns for your might be your best alternative. Possible pay that person a flat rate or a per lawn amount.Andy -
a friend of mine does that. he has someone take care of his lawns while he is at school, and during the summer, he his the main person and has the other person help him out.Comment

I would not do that just yet, or ever for that matter.
Don't find a 'partner' because you need help doing the work. Just find an employee.a.k.a.---> Erich

Good advice here
I used to think a partner could be a benefit to me, but I realized that even the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
I was off my feet due to injury for awhile but had lots of obligations to fill. I hired my neighbor to help me out. I paid him $15 per hour but I earned an average of $35 per hour.
Unless this partner guy is a true soul mate that would never cross you, hire him at higher than normal wages, but don't offer up a partnership in your biz unless you think it will do more good than harm.Comment

wow!
Hey liil dude, i think its great that your starting a landscaping business, but partnerships dont work out. Thats why i got out. Charge whome ever it is a wage, you want to own it all because you have 100% say in eveything. Has your partner had any expierence in lawn mowing or is he your cousin that enjoys wearing a black sweater? If so have him be a employee, also "making a million" i got that copywrited
