Hello All

I'm considering starting a business. Not specific to lawn care, more general excavation service.
Before I jump into a huge start up debt any advice. In particular I'm trying to work out if the market will support another small excavation company. I see a lot of ads on-line, and from the numbers I've run you would need to charge about $65 to make a living. Even at that rate a person would need to be sure of 40 billable hours per week.
Any advice offered regarding this business area would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I'm looking for a gps tracking device for my truck, but haven't found many Canadian options - Anyone have any suggestions? I'm looking for just basic location tracking.
Thanks!

How are all you guys doing? I forgot that I had an account on lawnsite as I was really busy because my buisness is really growing and just seen a Lawnsite ad on a website and then I remembered to come back on here!!

I thought I might post this here instead of on the marketplace because of the lack of Ontario content there - anyone interested in trading a walk-behind for my Gravely 34z? I want to walk...or maybe stand...
