Starting a new business in the Spring can be a great time to start! Just do some checking prior to starting your new business. The economy is especially tight right now, so you must research before throwing yourself into a new endeavor.
In the Yard Card Business, at least in my 21 yrs. of experience, I have found that Spring is probably the best time of the year for Celebration Sign Rentals. There is Mother's Day, Graduation, lots of babies born and of course the Birthdays. Even with the tight economy, people want to celebrate their special moments.
Spring is a popular time for Yard Cards & Lawn Displays, particularily in the States that have had snow, cold and storms during the winter months. People want to do fun, happy things & spring brings out the best in attitudes.
If you wish to Start a Lawn Display Business, start looking into some of the various ones that are for Sale. There are companies that provide Kits to make your own signs, ones that are pre-made for you or ones you can design yourself. Make sure you have a Manual to help you get started. Research different types of displays and businesses before making a decision. By purchasing a franchise or an establsihed "Business for Sale", you will at least know that there is some history and experience that has been put into that business.
Most people learn from their business mistakes or know what has worked well for them. If you work with someone who has been in business, you will gain knowledge from their experiences.
Websites I would recommend regarding business help of any kind is your local www.SBA.gov/ Also look into small business organizations in your area, Leads Groups, NAWBO, or Chamber of Commerce.
