Episode 56: Buying Lawn Care Businesses

We are getting back to normal after Hurricane Ian, so it feels right to get back to business on the podcast.

At the time this episode airs, Jacob will be at the Equip Exposition with the Scooter’s team in Louisville, Kentucky. Event takeaways coming in episode 57!

Today we share our thoughts and professional experiences on buying out other lawn care and landscaping companies, as well as our thoughts on joining a franchise in our industry.

But first, the Tip of the Week - a sentimental reminder that you and your partner are on the same team, even when it doesn’t feel like it.

In this episode, we talk:

- that time we bought lawn care accounts to get a new location off the ground

- that *other* time we bought a twenty-year-old lawn and landscape company to expand our existing location

- WHY we did it

- the WORST parts of the buying process/transition

- when and why someone should consider buying lawn care accounts or an entire company

- how to leverage a buy-out as a marketing opportunity (plus the strategy to do it)

- a craaaaaaaazy story about a jilted employee from the company we bought…

plus our thoughts on franchises in the lawn and landscape industry - and more!
