Advice for starting a lawn cutting business.

Hey guys. I am 14 and wanted to start a business so I could go to college without debt. However I don't know where to start, I have a lawn mower/weed-eater available to me and $30 in savings as of now. I already know about doing a good job and all that so I was looking for some more detailed advice as I don't want to make any mistakes while starting this business. Also I can't work during summers because I visit my dad then (long story)

Advice needed on quick books payroll and start up

Hey all, I’m a small business LLC taxed as an scorp. I work providing behavioral health care services through insurance companies. I decided to go independent instead of working for a job (I got no sick pay benefits and environment was toxic). While financially it’s clearly the best choice I’m realizing how stressful the process is. I thought since it’s just a one person business (me) things would be more simple. I’m thinking of using quickbooks to help out with the accounting portion of things but even that seems so complicated. Does anyone have any advice on how to make this process less overwhelming? Does it get easier? Is quickbooks a good resource? Advice is more than welcome.

Having trouble finding business insurance for my product/liability

I'm selling an e-commerce product, a certain type of teeth whitening kit. I buy different supplies from Alibaba and I assemble them into my kit, and then I sell the kit on my website, ebay, and other marketplaces. I want to get insurance to cover lawsuits in case a customer somehow figures out a way to hurt themselves with my product. I've contacted a few bigger companies (state farm, geico), and I contacted a local place that specializes in business insurance. Both were unable to get me a policy because my main product comes from China, and they said it would be too difficult to sue the manufacturing company in China. But... everything is made in China. 99% of the junk on shelves is produced in China, and many many businesses buy products from suppliers on Alibaba and resell here in the USA - Surely, someone must have figured out a way to get coverage in case of a customer injury? ​ Any advice from others who may have experience in this field?

Pricing Strategy Introduction to Client

Hi Redditors, I'm editing my website's pricing strategy currently. I can't think of the right words to put next to the pricing diagram to tell the client in a friendly manner that this is what I've come up with.

Options for splitting profits with a contractor

Hypothetical question: I created a concept then paid a contractor to help me turn it into a widget. The widget is sold on a third party website. There is no inventory management or further costs on my end (besides the cut taken by the site). All the profits come to my LLC. I consider the contractor to be a collaborator on the product and want to split net profits with them 50/50 on a quarterly basis. Now that I'm sending payments to the collaborator, I know it's a simple matter of dividing the profits by two and writing them a check. How easy is it to send a direct deposit to their chosen account? Can I do it the way larger companies send payroll? I don't want to mess with wire transfers and I cannot use ACHs if the collaborator is outside the USA.

What type of businesses regularly need large and/or irregular sized stuff shipped?

We recently inherited a 14' box truck in really good condition and my husband is a veteran with driving, logistics, freight, shipping, etc experience so we want to start making money with the truck however we can. We figure we will do moving and junk removal, but we would also like to get in with business owners who may have the need for such services. When you get shipping from those bid sites you just kind of get random people, we are hoping folks who use shipping services regularly might appreciate having someone reliable and competent who is competitivly priced.

What kind of professional would I need to hire for this?

If I wanted to have a website that was a product database with filters for product specs, what type of person would I need to hire to create those filters/interface etc..? I’m clueless on this sort of thing.
