Garden Design & Maintenance

About the business

A sole-trader garden maintenance and design business built over 15 years by its founder-operator in the Emilia-Romagna region. The business serves a stable base of private residential clients on recurring annual maintenance contracts, with occasional design and landscaping projects. Revenue is modest and the work is labour-intensive — margins are thin, but the client base is loyal and consistently renewed. The founder is stepping back to pursue a new venture and is looking for an individual buyer — ideally a gardener or landscape professional — to take over the client relationships and continue the work. A short handover period is included.

Highlights

• Recurring annual maintenance contracts provide a predictable seasonal revenue base
• Loyal private client base built over 15 years — low cost of acquisition for a new owner
• Minimal asset base — hand tools and a small van included in the asking price
• Ideal first acquisition for an individual tradesperson looking to work independently
• Founder available for a handover period to introduce clients and transfer knowledge
