Okay, so today I'm going to be talking about Robert's landscaping and remodeling,

which is my business that I plan to open.

So first off, let's talk about the market. The market for landscaping is like

landscaping. There's gardening.

Uh, thanks. Odd mowing,

um, and stuff like that. And I plan to have

all of that in my company because it gives more of an opportunity

for people to see that I can do more than just one thing.

So

I would like to

incorporate all of them into my business.

Um, next is the competitive edge is

I have to that

I would like to do. And that's

Like I like to work longer hours from, like, 6-5,,

and it so I can get more hours throughout the day so I

can get the job done as fast and as good as I can.

Um, I would like to work to customers approval,

which means

I would like to

work, and I am going to ask them questions like, how does this look?

Or how would you like this? So therefore they are involved with what I'm doing,

and it helps me, you know, that when I'm done with the job, they will like it too.

They will like it at the end of the project.

So from a market size, a normal market size for landscaping is about 90% of

uh huh,

The stuff that they do and I want to have about 75% because

I would like to stay at a small but not very small company

Which will help me out in the long run. Um, I would like to have 75% because it gives me

opportunities to do different jobs throughout the time I'm working. Landscaping.

Um, so for my customers,

I want to have a small business I want to have in neighborhoods, peoples and elders.

And I want small businesses because I'm gonna be a small business.

So I would like to help small businesses,

um, in the future with open. If they're just now opening things or if they are

just now

or if they're trying to get ready for a big event and they need something done,

I can do it.

And small businesses

tend to not have very high value of money, so I like to do cheaper things.

But as well as I do it to their approval.

Um, I want neighborhoods because

people in neighborhoods, they have friends,

family people drive by in the neighborhoods, neighbors.

They all can see what I've worked on and what I've done

for the job. And

I can get,

uh, customers from them.

And it just helps me in the long run with neighborhoods,

because more people and more people will get to

see it as they move into the neighborhood.

They're driving to a friend's house or

they just they can just see that what I've done.

So for my growth, I would like to stay in the Butler County lines,

which is like El Dorado, Augusta, Wichita and over Towanda

because I would like to be able to travel a little bit.

But I don't want to be able to travel so far where I can't just run home,

grab a tool if I need it.

So I would just like to stay in that kind of area, so I have.

I can make sure I know I can get to the job. I know if I can forget something. I get it.

I know if I need something, I'm in the area. But I get my stuff from,

um and I don't want to be global because it's hard for

landscapers to do global things because they have to get their tools,

materials and all of this, too.

They come or to the other part of the country to do it, and it's just hard

and

it's hard to get all of that stuff over there.

And if I forget something,

therefore I would have to go buy it again

because I couldn't just run home and grab it, so I'd have to buy it again.

Even if it's I just bought it there, I'd have to buy it again.

So then I would have to and I would just be wasting a little bit of money.

So I would like to stay

with the not global company.

Um, I'm gonna be a small landscaping company,

but I don't want to be too small and I don't want to be too big,

so I'd like to stay somewhere in the middle.

Um,

I would like to be in the middle because I don't

want something that will take me a day to do,

and I don't want something that will take me two months to do, which

I will do both of those if I absolutely have to, or if I'm willing, if I have time,

I will do it

because it gives I have more money for this one, or it's just a little quick job.

I need real quick, so I will do them.

But I would like to stay with jobs that take a week to two weeks and not have to do

stuff that's

either really big or really small.

Um, so, for my advantage is, um, I like to work every weekday hours from 6-5,.

Like I said earlier, um,

which it just gives me more of a time to get more work done that day.

So I don't have to do as much the next day, or I can finish what I'm doing there,

and I move on to the next thing the next day.

Um,

I'd like to work customers approval, so that means

they'll always be involved. They always feel like they're involved.

They have a say in what I'm doing. They know how I'm doing it.

They understand that I have to do it. This way or I can't do it this way that they

that they've asked.

So I I like to talk to them so they know what's going on and how it's going to be.

Um, I use high end materials, which,

because I don't like to use materials from like WalMart

because you'll have to repay them or re buy them multiple times.

So therefore you have to.

You have to waste money on it.

So I'd like to use this Johnson gardening, and it's they make their own mulch,

and it's easier for them to.

You don't have to re buy it.

You just fluff it and it looks like it's brand new.

But you have to change it every three years, not every year or every season. It's

You have a long time to do it

or to just keep using the same mulch.

Um, it gives it give a three months

re fixed policy, which

so if something breaks on the project I've done or

so you need something a little changed or something that's like

point and you have kids or something and I become

fixed that real quick I will come and do it,

and I will have money paid off or I'll hunt them, pay off a little bit of the money,

Um, as of a reflux or re fixed policy, so they have to pay a little extra just for that.

But I would like to do that for them so they don't have to hire someone completely

new that makes them pay even more money when I could just come and fix it.

And they just have to pay a little more money and

the process of me actually doing it.

The project.

So, for a total revenue, this is all just a little estimation, because

it's not a set income or revenue that you have for every year,

because it just depends on how many jobs you have, how big the jobs are.

Um,

So for your one, it's approximately about $100,000, which once again it's not 100

right, because it's just an estimation. Um, Year two, you have a year around 2500,

And there are 3", roughly

325,000.

Yeah,

so

that gives you

or that will give me a little money to when I get going.

And after a few years that I might have a little more money,

and it's so it's easier for me to pay things off.

If I still have to pay a loan off, they'll have money to do that.

I have money to get new tools if I need them. I have money to do other get materials.

If I run out or,

uh, if I need to rent a giant skid steer or something, I can I have money for that.

So it, uh, landscaping pace

pays decent, and it just always depends on how many jobs you have, how big the jobs are

for the year.

And so for this, it's

I want a service.

Come, I have a service company, an agent or a broker and a consumer, So

I'm going to be the service company because my company will be because

I will provide a service of the landscaping to do that for them.

And then the agent and broker is my dad because he helps me.

It's his business that I'm going to buy off

so he'll help me with the financial stuff and

stuff that I'm going to need help with because he understands to do that.

So it will help me in the long run with having

him to be able to talk to and ask for assistance.

And the consumers are obviously the customers that I'm doing the job for.

So for my team,

it's me as the owner, and my brother is the owner,

um, which will be co owners.

And he will own the landscaping or the

construction part where I do the landscaping part.

Um, my dad obviously, is our broker and the consumers. So

that will be the customers that I'm doing the project for,

um, for my capital. All I need is a startup loan,

and that helps me pay off for the equipment

and then some materials to do some things around my house and so I can have a little

show like I can take pictures of what I've done in a little bit at my house.

But the startup plan will help me more with getting the equipment, the tools,

ready for

the stuff that I need to do to be able to be able to be

as a company, er, landscaping company.

So I could always have a little, and it helps me get just

get up on my feet and I'm trying to start.

So for my closing is

for Robert's landscaping is it's going to be a big benefit for other

people because I'm not going to be too expensive like other landscapers.

And I wanted, like to say towards the mid range of price and not make it expensive,

and I'm not going to make it really, really short, really, really cheap.

So it's going to stay towards the middle of it

and it will help me with

getting customers.

And it's me help getting there,

doing the service for the people because I don't help or

I'm not extremely expensive and I'm going to have to make.

I don't want to be extremely cheap because it helps me

if I stay in the middle because I won't make as much money as if I'm cheap.

I won't make enough money if I'm expensive because nobody will want it

or I'm just gonna have a lot of jobs, but

it won't help or pay off.

Um, so if you guys have any questions, actually, time to ask

and there's my reference
