3 Reasons Why Landscapers Should Consider Selling Their Companies Now
HIGH VALUATIONS THAT WON’T LAST

The Market is on Fire!  We are helping our Clients achieve EBITDA Multiples of 6-7X!

TAXES ARE GOING UP

The Capital Gains Tax will most likely increase in 2022.  If you can sell by 12/31/21, you’ll lock in more of your hard earned money!

CONSOLIDATION

The commercial landscaping industry is being consolidated by large players.  Better to benefit from the consolidation and sell now than compete with the giants later.  Just ask the independent telecom providers how it worked out for them…

IDEAL ACQUISITION TARGET

The ideal target company will offer full service commercial landscaping services. Including landscape installation and maintenance.

The company will have a sterling reputation for integrity and customer service.

A solid management team willing to stay on post-transaction is a plus, but not an absolute necessity.

All situations from turn-arounds thru high growth will be considered.
