I am 15 and want to start a lawn mowing business in my neighborhood. How can i do this what should i charge? the yards are not huge but they are not that small

You could do pretty good mowing lawns because you probably wouldn’t have insurance nor pay taxes and those types of overhead. You could have prices much lower then your competitors. Some people don’t really care about the quality of work, they just want a low price. That would be your market to start. Put flyers out and knock on some doors, people will appreciate a young guy out looking for work.

    Pass out flyers to the homes in your neighborhood. Have them say something like "support local business". The less you charge the more yards you will cut and you can try to put neighbors on a schedule. If they go on the schedule charge them less. Offer a 25% off price deal to start, do a great job work hard and they will use you again. owning a small business is hard work so be prepared to stick with it, you don’t want your neighbors thinking you are slack.
