How can I start my own horticultural business through my home growing plants for profit?

Question

I know some techniques for propagation, germination, growing, flowering, etc. enough to make dozens of plants. And I have access to get cuttings through a variety of sources. What could do with this to earn some money?

Answer 1

#1. All states require a license...price in most states are determined by your square footage of growing space.
#2. if your state has sales tax ...you will be reqired to have a permit and number...
#3. I would find some ...places to sell my product before getting to involved..and invested...unless you plan to only retail to the public....then location..location...becomes #1 priority
#4. horticultural business is heavily regulated by our federal agriculture department
#5. try to find a competior already in business and pick their brain
#6. lawnsite.com .... a major source for supplies for anything related to horticulture

Best of luck...it is a fun business

Oh, there is a rule of thumb (which I'm just making up here on the spot) that the best business ideas aren't worth anything if nobody buys what you have to sell. SO, the most important thing is to figure our how to sell the plants. And the options are sell to somebody who sells to somebody else or you sell to the somebody else without the middle man. In other words, you sell wholesale (to sellers) or retail (to the person who wants the plant). So, you can start your business by becoming a salesman and selling. Start small and grow.
