FAQ
- Are lawn-care plans contracted revenue or simply repeat bookings?Review each plan's term, visit schedule, renewal, cancellation and payment provisions. Measure customer retention by season and distinguish enforceable commitments from households that can stop service without notice or penalty.
- Why does route density matter when valuing a lawn-care business?Map customers, travel time and revenue by route and service day. Closely grouped properties support more billable visits, while scattered accounts increase fuel, wages and downtime even when total customer numbers appear strong.
- Can I continue offering weed and pest treatments?Only if provincial and local rules permit the products and your operation holds required licences or certificates. Review treatment logs, storage, notices, complaints and insurance, then confirm which credentials require replacement.
- What should I check before accepting the equipment valuation?Inspect commercial mowers, sprayers, aerators, trailers and vehicles for title, liens, hours, maintenance and repair history. Compare capacity with route needs and budget replacements before the next peak mowing season.
- How should prepaid lawn packages be handled at closing?Reconcile advance payments, unused visits, credits, guarantees and refund rights customer by customer. The agreement should transfer enough cash or reduce the price to cover labour, materials and callbacks owed after closing.
- How can I judge the business's exposure to seasonality?Compare monthly sales, cancellations and cash collections across several weather cycles. Test whether snow services or other winter work produce genuine profit, and reserve enough cash for insurance, debt and spring start-up costs.
