Mower, trailer and handheld package math for a Gallatin, TN crew
Illustration only, invented figures: a new crew needs a $12,800 zero-turn, a $4,900 enclosed trailer and $2,300 of handheld equipment, $20,000 in all (our arithmetic). In this invented example, financing the mower and trailer, $17,700, as equipment and paying for the handhelds from cash keeps small, short-lived items out of a multi-year agreement.
In this invented example, the second crew pays its way once its contracts cover the equipment payment plus its wages and fuel; list those monthly costs beside the contract billings before asking.
Install jobs and maintenance routes in Sumner County, TN, funded differently
Hardscape and planting installs are billed by the job, with a deposit, a progress payment and a final payment. Maintenance routes bill the same amount each month. The two leave different gaps: installs need materials and labor before the progress payment, routes need wages before the monthly invoices clear. A line of credit can carry install gaps, while working capital can carry the start of a large new route.
