Business Summary:
Successful, stable lawn care service for sale. This is a complete, turn-key business for sale. There is no owner financing available. (If you are interested in accounts only, please scroll to end of ad)In my years running this business and seeing several bought and sold, the biggest issue is always whether or not a new owner/operator is going to be able to retain all those accounts that were built on the relationship with the previous owner.I have worked to solve that problem. Without going on and on, it boils down to a well designed and implemented transition period, where buyer and seller are very open and honest with each customer. A guarantee? Certainly. If customers are lost within a given time frame, the final price of the business is reduced accordingly. That is a VERY brief overview. We can discuss this further if you are interested. My business includes things that no one else takes the time to do: Detailed manual of activities at all accounts. What is expected and when? What can be offered and when to generate extra income and side jobs? Time logs. Open books. Software. Occassional customer lists and contacts. All previous bids for specific customers including awarded rates.My year round accounts bill out at $53,220 annually. After real expenses (fuel, insurance, repairs, and licensing, and NOT all the "other" stuff) grosses $46,636. This is based on all accounts billing and does not account for extra work and billing that is picked up regularly. Total Gross Billing for 2013: $64,246.That breaks down to:$896 a week in income. Every week. Of the year. Not including side work.How good is this? The route schedule is built to operate on ONLY 42 four day weeks of actual work. We currently add in TONS of additional projects during the off weeks of winter for extra income. And in summer I either take my three day weekend (Friday - Sunday) or I book an additional job for the Friday. My choice. That equates to 10 weeks of working only 1 day a week if that is what you choose. In other words, about 2 and 1/2 months off during the best weather of the year!Or making a lot more money. I always prefer the money option. But those weeks when it would be nicer to play golf and sleep in, so be it. I will speak with the buyer about how much I bid and GET jobs for and where they can be bid higher and lower. You might be surprised.Route includes 43 full time accounts, 6 part time accounts, and a list of names and numbers for seasonal customers and extra opportunities . Can be successfully maintained by one man in 4 easy days per week. Purposely built this way to allow for extra work and side jobs on the fifth day.Level billing year round.Every other week service from November through Mid-April, except on two commercial accounts, that remain weekly. Weekly service provided from late April through October.Tight daily routes. All South of Bahia VistaEquipment includes: 2012 52" Scag Tiger Cat. (340 hrs.)

I can sell without the truck. I can sell just accounts. $38,000 for just the accounts and the transition training. Yes, that is seven months gross income. It is also a guarantee and a fair price for the professional way this will be handled. And efficient, straight forward accounts. And all the other information I mentioned previously in this listing. You are back to even in less than seven months. The return on your investment is remarkable. I look forward to hearing from you. Please email me initially, and we will set up a time to talk.
