I am working on starting a pressure wash business in Florida. My plan is to start out small as a side hustle, and eventually work my way to full time. I plan on starting with a 4gpm washer and a surface cleaner, staying away from chemicals until I get more experience. I am going to start by advertising door to door with flyers and word of mouth, since I have some older family members in town that can spread the word around their neighborhoods.
What I am debating currently is whether or not I should get an LLC and insurance before starting the work. Or would it be better to first get some small cash paying jobs, see if I can build up some sort of clientele/schedule and then get official? Any advice is appreciated.
I would setup an LLC so if anything happens, the LLC is the one that gets sued. If you don’t have an LLC or something & you get sued, they can come after EVERYTHING you own.
If you don’t mix the business with your personal stuff, an LLC will do what it is meant to do which is keep your personal assets safe.
