    Selling a client list?

    Well, we are looking into the Fort Collins area, in north east Colorado. Have grown very tired of the high pressure Bay Area, and are thinking about cashing in on our house here and slowing the pace of life down somewhere else. I briefly looked into the market for tree work in Fort Collins...

    Selling a client list?

    I am considering relocating to another area with my family, and leaving behind my established business from the last 15 years. My thought would be to start a new tree service wherever I may end up at, so I would be holding onto all my gear, vehicles, etc.. Have any of you ever "sold" your...

    Jewish Eruv, pruning above one

    Anybody out there ever heard of this before? Pretty interesting. You can learn about it here. I had to work above one yesterday. I was about as nervous around this as I was around electrical lines! Its an old Jewish belief, that if you are on the inside of it, you can do things that you...

    TreeStuff.com!

    Labtop or ipad

    Go for the laptop! Way more useful then the iPad for day to day business stuff. I do have an iPad, but have not really found a way to make it work for me on a daily basis. I am in front of Peets coffee right now, in my truck. I have already done a bunch of emails, did a few quotes on...

    charging for estimate?

    "getting away with it" was a poor choice of words. I could get away with it. I could also not get the chance to look at as much work, either. For me, estimating is part of my job, which I do get paid for each month from my salary. I'd love to charge for it, I just think that the market I...

    charging for estimate?

    I wish I could say I charge for estimates, but I do not think I would last long doing that in the Bay Area. Any other Bay Area tree companies out there charging? Its pretty competitive out here... Id love to get away doing it, though.

    Payroll Service

    I use intuit, formerly Paycycle. It is just WAY to easy to use. It is built right into quickbooks, so everything is in sync. No double entering data. The service is 39 a month? Up to at least 10 employees. They file ALL forms electronically, and you can even generate 1099 forms from the...

    Petzel makes a caritool that is about that same size. Works well, most likely lighter also.

    More SRT Questions

    Tom I actually thought of that as a way of doing it, but it's not seeming like a more efficient way of doing it. My thoughts: first off, I'm most likely going to need a 200' line for SRT. That's a LOT of line to have to pull up to get the tail. My other option is to have another shorter...
