I think I would like to go Incorperated just so I would be protected alot more from liability and also if my company went belly up for some reason, my credit wouldn't be destroyed. I got alittle taste of the buisness as I have been doing a couple drives in the winter, rototilling the neighbors gardens, brushhogging and stuff like that for a number of years now. I also got a taste of full time landscaping this spring when I landed a job that lasted a month and a half doing spring clean ups, laying down bark mulch, putting in flower beds, and mowing lawns. I loved it, but this particular landscape company got caught in financial troubles, and I got laid off. That also tought me a good lesson, his company had done very well in the past few years, he then went overboard on his new equipment purchases, anyways, I don't want to put his personal life on the internet, but to make a long story short he had basically borrowed every cent he could from the bank to buy this and that (a bunch of stuff he really didn't need) and even though his truck left the yard every morning at 8:00AM working 6 days a week, his prices had to be so high to pay his bills that he lost his clients to the competition who was charging less than half, so he lost his shirt, everything he's got is now for sale, his hired hands have been told they will be out of work soon. Sad too, because this guy had a very well established buisness, was well known, and had landed some of the biggest fish for clients and he did excellent work. All gone now. I really appreciate all the advice I have recieved so far and everybodys positive enthusiasm. I do want to start this buisness, I've got nothing to lose and only could gain, it would be an even bigger loss for me to do nothing as I am 21yrs old, still live with my parents and don't have a job AGAIN! and I've put my best foot forward to find work, but always get overlooked somehow, so I want to start this buisness and like I said, I have been doing this on a small scale for years and loved it.
