Do I Need a Lawn Care Business License?
For a general lawn maintenance business that entails mowing, weed eating, laying sod, edging, and seeding, you need no other license than a state business license if your state requires it. However, if your lawn care business requires you to handle chemicals such as pesticides on another person’s property, you will require both a Pesticide Contractor License and a Commercial Applicator License.
The licenses can be obtained from your state’s Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. You will have to complete an application form and in some cases pass an exam. In some states, you must also work as a registered pest technician for at least 12 months before
you are eligible to apply for an applicator license. If you’re wondering how much a lawn care business license costs, the answer depends on the state in which you’re starting your business. They must be renewed each year.
How Much Does It Cost To Start A Lawn Care Business?
Franchisee fees and expenses vary depending on several factors, such as:
- Franchise size
- Market availability
- Local and state regulations
- Location
In general, you should expect to invest $162,148 – $191,798 to open a franchise location with EcoGreen Lawn Care.
Although we do not help our franchise owners finance their businesses directly, we may be able to refer you to relevant financing sources on a case-by-case basis.
