Making money with your CUT

[LBrown59]

How bout setting up as a non profit volunteering your services?
Would that be any less headache, liability or responsibility?

I wouldn't mind a little work on the side now that I have most of my task here pretty well caught up.

As the founder of 2 Non Profits...... it is WAY cheaper, easier, and all round better to start and run a legitimate business than it is to wade through all the BS involved in a Non Profit.

Locally you have to get a contractors license to offer services (like mowing, bush hogging and such), have you found that it's worth it to offer services to try to earn a little back on your investment?
Or do you go the "under the table" route?

Also trying to figure out how to price the services (again this is for small time work, nothing large)

I'm just trying to get commercial liability insurance.

I know one thing: it will cost me an expected $27.00 an hour to turn the key. That's my cost. That means my give-away rate needs to be $50.00-60.00 an hour.

That's a hefty operational/hour cost you have there.

Don,t have to get contractors license in KY. Must get occupational license in communities in which you work. Must carry Liability insurance and comply with D.O.T. regs. It cost more than you think.

Agreed, it adds up real fast commercial insurance is very expensive.
