Hello everyone, I’ve been an arborist for 7 years and decided to open my own company. Im 25 years old and over the years I have been buying equipment to build my business. I know it wont be easy but Im up for the challenge. I have all the basic equipment to provide all tree services. I also recently just bought a 65 ft bucket truck, pickup truck, and 14x7 ft dump trailer. Also I bought a computer, desk, and printer for office work including a camera, action camera, and drone for marketing and advertising. All these items I purchased cash, so as of right now I have no overhead payments. So now I’m just waiting to get everything 100% with my fillings, permits, insurance, bank, irs, and all the other basic things need to be fully legal. Now I have questions that hopefully can be answered which is why I’m posting on here.

1. What invoice software is best for running a tree
   service and making contracts?
2. Besides google, instagram, facebook, and a website, what are other places for good advertising?
3. How to I apply or bid for city jobs or government jobs in WA state?
4. How to apply or bid for snow removal?
5. Any certificate or permits needed to stand out above the rest?
6. Something you with you need when starting out?

Thank you for time if you made it this far and any advice is appreciated greatly.

I’m 25 male and live in Washington. I just started my llc and will be providing tree services, landscaping, and snow removal services. Basically I’m asking for advice for anyone that in this business and what are some things you know now that you wish when you first started. Thanks!

I’m starting a tree service business. Now I’m struggling how to name it. Either

1. PENAS TREE SERVICE LLC
2. PENA TREE SERVICE LLC
   Pena is my last name. Or should I go a different route. Thanks

I just bought the MacBook Air 13in 16gb ram and 512gb ssd. I bought to help run and manage my newly business I’m starting. I will be starting a tree service business. My main focus will be using to run the company, emails, jobber, quickbooks, invoices, letters, website management, google account, Microsoft office, light picture and video editing for promotion, web browsing, shopping for equipment, and all the basic business things. My question is did I buy the right laptop to start off with for maybe 2-4 years and upgrade down the road or should I get the MacBook Pro? What are your guys opinions?

I looking to buy the best action camera. I’m an arborist and I’m looking to record my daily work including my hobbies. For example, mountain bike riding, dirt bike riding, and maybe some swimming/boating videos. Most importantly It needs to be durable, lightweight so I can wear it on my helmet, good quality, easy to download data and edit with apps, and waterproof if possible. I don’t want any of the 360 cameras either. Thank you!
