Business Operation

Management type:
This business is owner operated.
Expansion Potential:

The owners have chosen to run the company in a way that supports their lifestyle.

Growth Opportunities:

  • Subcontract applications. In the past, the company provided reduced-rate treatment services to several lawn care companies that did not offer pesticide applications themselves. This added sales and margin, but it meant working a larger geographic area than the owners wanted.
  • Additional services. The business does not currently offer mosquito, tick, and perimeter pest programs, which could be sold to the existing customer base.
  • Marketing. New accounts today arrive organically. The business does very limited marketing of any kind.
  • Capacity. The owners have chosen not to add staff. More applicators would mean more routes.
