Full Editorial Writeup
This is a commercial services platform based in northern Florida with facility services work extending into Texas. The company delivers three lines: facility services, landscaping and grounds maintenance, and ancillary vending. Its customer base spans commercial, industrial, property-management, and residential accounts, with roughly 74 active clients and demonstrated experience servicing larger institutional relationships.
The business is positioned as a facility services platform first and a landscaping company second, which matters for how a buyer should underwrite it. Facility services is the primary growth engine and is heavily contract-based, with the seller indicating more than 95% of that revenue sits under contract. Landscaping provides route density and cross-sell, while vending is a small transferable add-on. On 2025 numbers, the company produced approximately $2.52M revenue and $638K management-basis SDE, though the offering is anchored to a more conservative weighted SDE of roughly $550K.
At a $1.5M ask, the deal is being marketed at 2.35x on the higher SDE figure, or closer to 2.7x on the weighted SDE. With an existing management layer and field team already in place, the seller is pitching this as a near-turnkey acquisition suitable for an owner-operator, strategic acquirer, or an established commercial services company looking to bolt on earnings scale and recurring commercial accounts.
Why we like it
- Earnings quality is anchored to contracts, not one-off jobs. The seller states more than 95% of facility services revenue is contract-based, which gives the recurring, predictable cash flow profile that buyers should pay up for relative to a transactional landscaping book. That contract base is the difference between buying a route and buying an annuity.
- The durability is in the essential, non-deferrable nature of the work. Commercial facility services and grounds maintenance are operating-budget line items that property managers and industrial clients keep paying through downturns because the buildings still need servicing. This is boring, repeatable, and sticky, which is exactly what compounds over a hold period.
- There are real cross-sell economics already embedded. Landscaping adds route density while facility services drives the contract revenue, and vending is a small transferable add-on, meaning one truck and one relationship can carry multiple revenue lines. That density lowers cost-to-serve and raises the ceiling on per-client revenue.
