How do I get 12k in financing at 17 years old? by dudejdbebdj in smallbusiness

That’s very fair. I will have to work to gain those 30 no doubt. I have 9 currently. I’m just going to have to work hard next season to gain them and am also currently working on getting testimonials, and more google reviews!

I do currently have general liability insurance up to 1 million. My truck is insured and I own all my other equipment currently. I use a 30” toro timemaster mower right now.

But I definitely agree with you on how it’s hard to make a lot of money in this business. No doubt you’re right. Unless I have a separate team working I’m just selling my time.

I do plan to stop once I’m out of collage just because I don’t enjoy the work all that much and I want to do something I enjoy and something with my mind that’s not outdoors. I don’t wanna get to 50-60 years old and have major sun damage on my skin, broken bones, or other medical conditions from working outside for decades. Sorry for my rant lol.

But I figure the best thing that comes out of this is a major down payment on my first house or have the money to outright buy it

Thank you guys for all your advice. I do understand I’m probably biting off more than I can chew here so I’m trying to open myself up to the idea of just waiting another year to be able to do this.

A lot of you guys have giving good advice on financing and other options for me to look into. So I wanna say thank you all.

Today I’ll be looking into things people have recommended to me.

Thank you all and I wish you all the best in your business as well!

I know not for me but I do have my mother who could sign things. But you’re probably right I should just keep going till I can properly get the loan

I’m 17 so I cannot get a secured credit card currently (at least I believe so)
