How can lawn service customers pay without employees handling money? -

Hello, i am going to start a lawn mowing business and i Dont want my Foreman or Helper handling the money that i recieve from my customers. i live in north texas and my business will be located in austin- kind of far away. how can i collect the payments without them going through my emplyees first? is there a way other than through the mail? (the mail from there to here would take too long).

I believe if you use Quickbooks...they have a credit card payment option for the invoices you can create from their system. This would also allow you to avoid having bounced checks and you are paid after the card is processed. You will have to pay a transaction fee each time...but that may be worth it so your Foreman doesn t have to touch the cash.

My view is, if you are just getting this business started, you need to be there on site daily. If you are not, it will quickly become a disaster. Your employees will steal customers, do side jobs, do bad work and the business will fall apart.There is a discussion on this at the Gopher Forum you should read.http://www.gopherforum.com/showthread.ph��
