I own a small lawn care and landscaping business located Oahu Hawaii. I’m a solo owner/operator, just made 1 year “on my own”. I’ve just recently got my LLC formed, insurance, and state licenses/registered and a business bank account/EIN. All of my current clients are from before I became “legal” and pay me under the table. I’m getting ready for 2024 and want to move as many of my current “under the table” clients to Card on file(payments to business account) and officially on my “books”. I’m raising my prices to cover my higher operating costs and expecting to lose some current clients. Any tips?

    You don’t lose clients because you raised prices.

    It just means that they don’t value your services enough for them to pay a higher price. Increase the value u provide, increase your prices!

    I raise my prices yearly and never lost a customer (We mow 273 lawns per week)…the people that squabble about price are the people you do not want…the key to your business is simply have clean equipment, respectable dressed staff, show up on time on your scheduled days, put a flyer on each home around the home you just serviced…
