📍 Location: Morris County, NJ (serving northern and central New Jersey)
🏷️ Asking Price: $3,275,000
🆔 Deal Code: ESTATE
💰 Cash Flow: $734,714 (EBITDA, advisor-reported)
📈 Gross Revenue: $3,202,433 (advisor-reported)
📊 Business Type: Landscape Design, Construction & Maintenance
🏠 Ownership: Owner Operated, Established 1981
🔥 189 Maintenance Clients! | About $1M In Signed Contracts! | About 4.5x EBITDA!

✅ Key Highlights:
• $3,275,000 against $734,714 of EBITDA is about 4.5x, on a 22.9% EBITDA margin. The price is roughly 1.0x revenue, so the margin is what you are paying for.

• About $1,000,000 in signed maintenance contracts across 189 active clients, plus roughly another $1,000,000 from detail maintenance work (pruning, mulching, planting).

• 98% of construction projects come from existing maintenance clients, per the advisor. The maintenance book is the sales channel for the high-ticket hardscape, pool and outdoor living work.

• 45 years serving high-net-worth homeowners and select commercial clients, with licensed subcontractor and foreman crews, two long-tenured field employees and an office manager in place since 2017.

• The honest caveat: the owner runs design, sales and construction project management today, so a buyer needs a plan for all three. The owner has offered post-sale employment, consulting and client introductions to bridge it. The site is month to month at about $3,500 a month, so lock in a lease before close.

🚀 Growth Opportunities:
• The company does not cross-sell services to its maintenance clients today, per the advisor, so upselling 189 existing accounts is the first lever.

• Reinstating a full crew and foreman structure scales project volume on infrastructure that is already in place.

📌 Summary:
A 45-year-old high-end landscape company with about $1M in signed maintenance contracts feeding its construction pipeline, at about 4.5x EBITDA. Underwrite the owner's sales role first; reply and we will get you the transition plan and client breakdown.

📍 Location: Middlesex County, NJ (relocatable)
🏷️ Asking Price: $825,000
🆔 Deal Code: LOCK
💰 Cash Flow: $394,046 (SDE, advisor-reported)
📈 Gross Revenue: $711,346 (advisor-reported)
📊 Business Type: Commercial, Industrial & Residential Locksmith
🏠 Ownership: Owner Operated, Founded More Than 100 Years Ago
🔥 55% SDE Margin! | About 2.1x SDE! | 85% Commercial Work!

✅ Key Highlights:
• $825,000 against $394,046 of SDE is about 2.1x, on a 55.4% margin.

• About 85% of revenue is commercial and industrial work, per the advisor. Service lines go well past lockouts: keyless entry systems, safes, auto locksmithing and door installation and repair.

• A legacy name founded a century ago, strong customer reviews, 24/7 emergency response and deep on-hand inventory that cuts return trips.

• Lean to run: 2 full-time employees and 1 part-time, with 2 trucks, the key machines and all hardware and tools included in the sale.

• The honest caveat: the owner is the general manager and has to be replaced after a 3 to 6 month transition. The seller owns the building and prefers the business relocate, and recommends a smaller space or a mobile model, so budget for the move.

🚀 Growth Opportunities:
• Keyless entry and access control are the higher-ticket side of the trade. Pushing them into an existing commercial base is the obvious lever.

• A mobile-first model cuts occupancy cost and widens the service radius across central New Jersey.

📌 Summary:
A century-old locksmith with a commercial-heavy book at about 2.1x SDE. The work is replacing the GM and planning the relocation; reply and we will get you the customer mix and transition plan.

📍 Location: Monmouth County, NJ (serving Monmouth and Middlesex Counties)
🏷️ Asking Price: $225,000
🆔 Deal Code: LAWN
💰 Cash Flow: $119,000 (SDE, advisor-reported)
📈 Gross Revenue: $360,000 (advisor-reported)
📊 Business Type: Residential & Commercial Landscape Contractor
🏠 Ownership: Owner Operated, Established 1992
🔥 Under 2x SDE! | 130+ Longstanding Customers! | Winter Upside Untouched!

✅ Key Highlights:
• $225,000 against $119,000 of SDE is about 1.9x, on a 33.1% margin.

• More than 130 active, longstanding customers in affluent parts of Monmouth and Middlesex Counties, with recurring mowing and grounds maintenance alongside design, paver, patio and outdoor kitchen projects.

• 34 years under the founding owner, with 4 full-time employees. The business runs a mini-excavator, mowers, blowers and dumpsters; confirm which of them transfer in the price.

• The honest caveat: the owner works about 40 hours a week as general manager, salesperson and estimator, and the advisor requires buyers to have landscape experience. Plan on the 6-month transition the seller expects.

🚀 Growth Opportunities:
• The company shuts down from December through February. Adding salting, sanding and snow removal turns three dead months into revenue from the same customer list.

• Hardscape and outdoor living demand in this market supports a bigger project mix with one more crew.

📌 Summary:
A small, profitable landscape contractor at under 2x SDE with an obvious winter upside. Best fit is an operator with field experience or an existing landscaper adding a Monmouth County route.
