Business Story
The business offers a variety of garden maintenance services to commercial clients and body corporates, from mowing & garden edging, through to all aspects of garden care. It’s a one stop shop, utilising contractors if it’s outside of their scope of works. Workflow is constant due to maintaining the same client base over a long period of time making it easy to plan the workload in advance.
The owner is physically involved in the business and to make it easier has some casual staff which understandably come and go. A new motivated owner could easily complete the workload on his own and bank the money, the current owner only chooses to work 25 hours per week. Self-propelled mowers are part of the plant and equipment however a ride on mower would make the job more efficient.
Future growth opportunities involve simply taking the business on, expanding services like pressure cleaning pathways and common areas and repair and maintain watering systems, improve efficiencies to take on more workload and employ more staff to meet an increased demand for services.
The business is operated from the owner’s home, with no centralised location required to rent and store equipment. This ability to operate from home gives you a flexible lifestyle along with being able to choose your own hours, making this an excellent business for those needing a change to a flexible lifestyle.
After the business becomes yours, the seller will give you all the tuition required to confidently operate the business as it is currently, including the introduction to the commercial clients and body corporates that keep the constant pre planned workflow.
The current owners of the business wish to sell as they want to transition into a new career path. If this grounds maintenance service interests you, click on enquire now or give us a call today!
