Good afternoon! My name is Brendon, and I’m in the process of starting up my business. After doing some research, I’ve realized that the cost of purchasing all the necessary equipment up front is extremely high. I’ve considered renting a forestry mulching machine for a few months to make sure I have enough work lined up first, but rental prices are unbelievably expensive. My main question is: How do you secure leads before owning the equipment, so you can be confident you’ll have enough work to cover costs and still earn a living? I watched Austin’s YouTube video, “How To Get Forestry Mulching Jobs In Your Area,” which was very helpful. However, I’m still unsure how to approach potential clients when I don’t yet have the equipment to perform the service. For those who have been through this, how did you get started? Did you take the leap, buy the equipment, and then begin marketing? Or did you market first and line up jobs before officially launching your business? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
