My lawn service started by the guy that was working for my neighbors across the street. He came one day, rang the bell, told me they were doing the work for the other family (granted, their lawn looks great) and offered his services.I have gotten them from strictly world of mouth advertising since I pride myself in high quality work.
He was nice, offered me a great rate, and had already proven he could deliver.
I took his business card. Hired him the next week.
Maybe it is worth for you to do that for the next 6 or 10 blocks where you currently work, to increase your revenue. If you can take care of an entire neighborhood on Tuesdays, by simply doing this door to door marketing, and hiring two more employees, your growth should be great.
No need to buy any business yet.
Also, ask your current customers for referrals and offer them something in return (next week free service for each customer you find me?)
Only after you have that under control then makes sense to go after other businesses, no?
