Owner's Guide

What Landscaping owners need to watch before an exit

  • Install-heavy revenue
  • Labor availability and visa reliance
  • Owner holds every key account
  • Aging, undocumented equipment

Each of these can lower what a buyer will pay or add terms you don't want. The Blueprint measures where you stand and prioritizes the fixes most likely to increase your EBITDA multiple.

Illustrative example

$2M EBITDA x 4$8M
$2M EBITDA x 5$10M+1 turn
$2M EBITDA x 6$12M+2 turns
