Investment Highlights – Lawn maintenance business for sale
(1) Consistent Contract-Based Revenue: The Company’s business, by nature, operates under contracts for most commercial accounts. Typical contracts range from 1 to 3 years at a time. The consistent contract-based nature of commercial work provides the Company with a consistent base revenue each year.
(2) Strong Company Culture: The company’s current owners have operated it in a fashion that stresses quality workmanship over rushing jobs. Employees are strongly encouraged and regularly go the extra mile to ensure all work is completed professionally with strong attention to detail. As a result, employees do not feel micromanaged and are satisfied in their roles.
(3) Extensive Equipment Base: The Company operates its business with an extensive equipment base used for lawn maintenance, snow removal, and other functions. All equipment is maintained in good condition and undergoes routine maintenance and repairs.
Growth Opportunities
(1) Restart Landscape Construction Division: The Company previously had a landscape construction division of the Business which generated up to $1M in revenue each year. The Company made the strategic decision to remove its focus from these jobs. Restarting this division could allow the Company to recapture this work and generate substantial additional revenue.
(2) Implement a Sales Team: Currently, the Company does not employ any individuals in a sales-focused role. Hiring a salesperson would allow the individual to pursue larger commercial contracts, while the managers could solely focus on the day-to-day operations of the Business.
(3) Execute an Aggressive Marketing Strategy: The Company currently does little in terms of marketing. It has a website and Facebook account but is not particularly active on either. The Company could benefit from implementing Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Paid Ad strategies.
