Print up some fliers using a laser printer(be sure to spell check) and go door to door around your neighborhood. Youths have been doing that for years.The more services you offer, the better your chances of getting business(ie. mow lawns, rake leaves, weed whacking, hedge trimming, etc.). Do your best and ask your customers for references so you can show future customers that you don t slack off. Also, be sure to keep advertising with your fliers every 2-5 weeks so people don t forget about you and so they don t think it was a one time offer that you gave up on.As for an actual legal business entity, you d need to get licensing, tax ID, permits and some other official stuff taken care of through your state. Since you are a minor, it might be in your state law that you wouldn t be able to operate power tools until you are 18. There might be exceptions for agriculture-related businesses. Your state s licensing/permit office would be a good place to start asking, followed by your state s department of labor.Here is a good reference showing the steps for small business planning:http://www.sba.gov/smallbusinessplanner/��Good luck!
