My partner and I are looking to sell our small tree service. We do primarily pruning and preservation, and work about half time making a modest living (about $60,000 cumulatively). We don't have a lot of fancy equipment, and have invested in quality work and kept our overhead low: The sale would include a chip truck and chipper (both of which are older), chainsaws, pole saws, rigging gear etc., which are all top quality.
We have consistent year around work, a substantial number of repeat and regular customers including home owners associations, greenbelts, etc.. The business could easily be grown, we currently keep ourselves as busy as we'd like with customer referrals, our website, and a small amount of paid web advertising. No phone book listings, no print advertising. We've held off with growth because we are as busy as we want to be, and are already able to turn down removal work and work that requires more than about forty minutes of travel. We can certainly ramp up our paid advertising prior to finalizing a sale to encourage more cash flow for the buyer.
Our work consists of a small amount of consulting (generally hazard assessment, view management, etc.) with most of our income coming from view and risk mitigation pruning work.
We've built the business with a focus on long term solutions for trees, and personalized custom service, and had great results.
We'd like to sell to someone who likes trees, and wants to care for trees. The people we work for like (actually, they usually love trees) trees, and generally are looking to keep theirs. We feel we're providing a service in this area that is hard to find, and have found a good market for what we're offering. It's been a pretty nice gig for us, but we're ready to pursue other careers and would like find an arborist(s) who is committed to quality tree care, and will continue to serve the cliental we've developed.
We're asking $30,000 for the business and equipment and are willing to take payments with a substantial portion of that down. Happy to provide more details to interested parties.
We (Ryan or Erica) can be reached at 360-488-7439 or through our website: www.insighttreecare.com
