Snow Removal
Take advantage of the winter season by offering to so snow removal. This is a great add-on business to a lawn care, leaf removal, so on and also provides seasonal entrepreneurs with the perfect short-term business idea.

In your snow removal services, go the extra mile and give your customers a little extra so if customer pays you to do the driveway, do the sidewalk for free.
Expanding
Expansion ideas can also be used to mitigate seasonal risk in the event of minimal snowfall. Offer seasonally related services such as heating oil delivery, wood chopping, window and door insulation installation and repair, gutter cleaning and so on. As your business grows, hire employees to expand your business to nearby areas.

A risk worth considering is expanding too quickly. Some businesses actually become a victim of their own successes. Proper planning can help address this issue. While you expand your business, continue to keep a close eye on and nurture your existing business competencies to avoid neglect.
