Too much Bleach

A good friend of mine has started selling pallets of goods that are mostly returns from department stores and online retailers. He recently took delivery of some pallets that included 24 pallets of bleach each about 5 feet high. He hasn't figured out a way to sell them or who to sell them too. I figured I could ask the good guys and girls of reddit for some ideas of how he can off load some bleach. So have at it.

Do you ever get anxiety that your clients don’t like you?

Just curious if anyone else struggles with this? Finishing up my first year in the lawn and landscaping business and it feels like my clients do not like me. Spring and summer went great and all my clients seemed very pleased and paid on time. Now that the season is coming to an end it feels like pulling teeth to get some clients to pay. Also when I reach out to them now it seems like I only get one word replies or no reply at all. Just curious how you deal with this. I’d say I have anxiety that I’m afraid a lot of them will not use my services next year. I think it also might be they’re burnt out of summer or ready to not have to pay someone to maintain they’re yard. Which makes sense because I am also really looking forward to having a little time off myself.

Questions on Company Vehicles and Credit Cards (LLC)

We have an LLC owning rental real estate and are debating about buying a company vehicle that can handle towing and other hauling that none of our personal vehicles can. For those who have purchased a vehicle for your business, how have the tax write-offs helped with the purchase price and monthly payments? Renting for different activities throughout the year is annoying but may make more financial sense. I also know now is not the optimal time to purchase a vehicle but we may wait a year to two, just want to have the decision and financials under control beforehand. The second question relates to company credit cards and which ones you find helpful for your business. Largely this is for materials, supplies, equipment rentals, and the like. Are you able to use travel miles from an LLC card for non-business travel? Thoughts on what you use would be appreciated.

How to accept tablet forms in the field

My business I run is very mobile. Before I start work for a customer I need them to sign liability forms. Currently I just keep a stack of them printed in my work vehicle and have them sign that but I'm trying to go paperless and streamline things. I have an Android tablet that I would like to use but I'm having a hard time finding an easy to use app that will allow me to hand my tablet with the open form to my customer for them to fill out then sign and then save it as a copy without changing the original form. Any app suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
