Do you have the cash laying around to purchase it or would you take out a loan?

You need to figure out how much this trailer will cost you each month (i.e. loan payment, license, insurance, etc.) vs. how much you will make per month (factoring in when you are in school). If you can afford it and still make money then it is an option, if you will lose money at anytime then you may want to wait a little and save up before taking this leap. Remember loans have to be paid whether you are making money or not.

Yeah I know I can pay in full immediately the trailer is literally the only thing holding me back from making a lot more money and you have to insure trailers?

I can make 3 grand per month or a bit less with school and summer way more and the loan is from my mom not a bank

So then yes you have a payment but it will be to your mom. If I had several thousand dollars worth of supplies in a $15k trailer I might think about having it insured buy maybe that is just me.

What do you charge to clean a car? How many hours does it take you?

If there is a lean against it you would have to insure it.... But you would want to insure your "business assets" (equipment) in case of accident (and I don't just mean while driving). It's a sue happy world.... protect yourself on a business venture!

True just got off like a 20
Minute call with the company and I don't wanna waste my moms money on something I can get for 5 grand I'll just have someone wrap it and get all of the equipment in there and it'll be better then that because that price is just ridiculous pretty sure he's trying to rip me off because I'm 15 as well
