BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

After 23 successful years in business, the owner of this well-respected landscape maintenance/installation business has decided it's time to retire. The seller has built a great reputation with the residential and commercial customers that the business serves. They currently do a split of about 50 / 50 maintenance and service to custom design and installation work. The business has some contracts in place and solid relationships with homeowners and builders on the landscape installation work that will typically turn into continued maintenance work. To demonstrate how well-received this business is, several customers have been a part of the work schedule since the very start of operations over 20-plus years ago. This business is an excellent opportunity for a young, fresh energy to build upon and grow.

The location of the business operations is perfect for growth as the Ocala and Villages cities are poised for exponential growth over the next 10 to 15 years. This has been a part and cause of the organic growth the business has received and will continue to be a continued opportunity for the new owner. If the new owner has a more aggressive growth strategy in mind, they could add a website, social media presence, and a marketing plan, of which the current owner does none of these.

The seller also holds a pest control and irrigation license of which he would ( if the parties come to an agreement) be willing to help a new owner as a license qualifier if the buyer wishes to expand this part of the business. Currently, the seller is not offering these services in the business but in a case-by-case situation. However, this is an excellent opportunity for expansion.

This business is SBA-prequalified for the right buyer, with as little as 10% down. It could be an excellent business for a E2 visa applicant.

Facilities
This business is operated out of the seller's house. The new owner can continue to operate the same way and keep the office lease space at a minimum cost.
Competition
It's Florida, so the market always needs service and maintenance for lawn, landscaping, and irrigation-type businesses. With that said, this business has built a very solid reputation with its customers, to where they have been very loyal for many years and have referred their family and friends. The seller feels it is the other business that views his business as the competition.
Growth & Expansion
There are many opportunities for growth with this business. The seller spends less than .02% of his gross revenue on advertising. The company doesn't have a website or social media presence and has never done any target or blanket advertising to its customer base or the general public. Simply running ads in the community newspapers and online news sources would grow the business exponentially at a minimum cost. The seller will share additional thoughts and ideas during a buyer seller meeting.
Financing
This business is SBA-prequalified for the right buyer, with as little as 10% down.
Support & Training
The seller is offering the standard 14 days of training included in the purchase price. Additional training could be available as a part of negotiations.
