Additional Notes
The business has approximately $1.2 million in equipment, according to the owner, including Bobcat skid steers, a Caterpillar loader, lawn mowers, and other operating equipment. The owner estimates that approximately $300,000–$400,000 remains owed against the equipment, with the majority of the equipment already paid off. The lawn maintenance and snow removal operations are structured as separate legal entities for liability purposes, but the owner intends to sell both businesses together. The business has operated for approximately 35 years and generates highly recurring revenue. Lawn maintenance revenue has historically remained around the same level annually, according to the seller. The snow removal side generates approximately $1 million annually and is predominantly supported by multi-year commercial contracts, with most customers operating under three-year agreements. The owner currently takes approximately $250,000 in annual compensation. According to the owner, adding back this compensation would bring adjusted earnings to approximately $750,000.
