Landscaping Business Recurring Revenue, C-27, $450K Seller Note

Alameda County, CA, USA
Updated 1 day ago

SBA Pre-Qualified. Seller financing may also be available for a qualified buyer. Illustrative structure: $250,000 cash down and a $450,000 seller-financed note, subject to seller approval. This is a rare chance to acquire a premium residential landscaping business serving the East Bay. You or partner must have a C27 License. Built over close to three decades, the company has earned a reputation for quality, reliability, and long-term client relationships. Immediate, durable foundation to grow from. Revenue is highly predictable, anchored by ongoing maintenance contracts and supplemented by landscape construction, irrigation, lighting, and hardscape projects. That maintenance base delivers consistent cash flow year-round and meaningfully reduces reliance on one-off project work, a real differentiator in an industry where most competitors live and die by the next job. A California C27 (Landscaping) contractor's license is required. This acquisition is lender qualified, and we're looking for the right buyer who can take a strong foundation and grow it further. Key Highlights • Operating for nearly 30 years with a strong, trusted brand in the East Bay • Ongoing maintenance contracts providing stable, recurring revenue • Premium positioning serving quality-focused residential clients • Strong historical margins (~68% gross profit) • Experienced, long-tenured field crews requiring minimal oversight • Minimal advertising spend, with new business driven by reputation, referrals, and online presence • Turnkey operation: vehicles, equipment, and systems already in place • SBA eligible acquisition Operations The current owner manages scheduling, client communication, and design work, while day-to-day field operations run through an experienced, capable team. The business operates on simple, proven systems for scheduling and crew coordination, with no complex infrastructure to learn and no key-person dependency on the owner for field execution. Administrative support is already in place. Financial Performance • Revenue historically ranges from approximately $870K to $1.05M • Three-year average SDE of approximately $220K • Consistently strong gross margins supported by recurring maintenance work Major Growth Upside This business is operating below demand. The current owner has had to turn away new business simply due to capacity constraints, which means the growth story for the next owner is already proven and waiting to be captured, not something that has to be built from scratch. Clear paths to expand include: • Adding maintenance and/or project crews • Increasing capacity to take on currently declined work • Expanding service coverage within the East Bay • Adding administrative support to reduce owner involvement and scale operations The demand already exists. Growth here doesn't require new marketing spend, just additional operational capacity.
