list the permits and/or licenses you will need to operate you business and how much will they cost on a yearly basis. also list any one time fees that your business will encounter.

if you do pesticides yes. just fertilizer no.
cut and hedge no
if you put in sprinkler lines may need plumber's licesne
hope this helps you out

I don't know if this helps but you will need an insurance bond cost - approx $250 per year, also General Liability insurance - approx $2500 per year and worker's comp - approx $1500 per year.
