Thinking of selling Business?

[JSN]

I've been in business over 18 years. Considering selling my business because of my health and a divorce. I'm in a mid size town in South Texas. Were there's no one with proper pruning experience. I started by knocking on doors and talking to everyone from nurseries to State Foresters. The lack of qualified or experienced climbers has added to the problem.

I haven't had to advertise, just word of mouth, referrals and the quality work we do. So someone with a little advertising and a good crew and My name could make this business work.
I do want to stay on if possible.
The trees are small, 40 to 50 feet nothing over 90 feet.
Anyone interested or advice you can contact me at etsjsn1@gmail.com.

Thanks,

Sadly, with small buisness in small towns, the items in red can be removed with little effect. If you are not part of the company, any previous names become meaningless

Often that name can be a curse to a new owner. Many existing clients no longer feel they have to remain loyal and will start shopping. This is why it is important to have a business owner stick around while you transfer that goodwill to the new owner.
