Growth Opportunities

The owners have chosen to run the company in a way that supports their lifestyle. Growth Opportunities: • Subcontract applications. In the past, the company provided reduced-rate treatment services to several lawn care companies that did not offer pesticide applications themselves. This added sales and margin, but it meant working a larger geographic area than the owners wanted. • Additional services. The business does not currently offer mosquito, tick, and perimeter pest programs, which could be sold to the existing customer base. • Marketing. New accounts today arrive organically. The business does very limited marketing of any kind. • Capacity. The owners have chosen not to add staff. More applicators would mean more routes.

Financing Options

Seller financing is available.The seller is open to holding a small portion of the transaction for the right buyer
