About this playbook
This guide walks you from idea to first revenue in 60 days. You will test demand before spending a dollar on equipment, calculate exactly how many jobs you need to break even, form a single-member LLC with an EIN, buy only the gear that pays for itself, land your first ten customers, and decide at day 90 whether to keep going or walk away. The path is designed for a US-based owner-operator with $3,000–$12,000 to invest. It does not cover hiring employees, renting a commercial yard, bidding on large commercial contracts, or expanding beyond one city.
