Business Description
$632K revenue, $283K SDE, $402K equipment — zero marketing spend
Established arboriculture and tree services company serving the Wasatch Front since 2019. The business has built a stable, commercial-anchored book of business generating $655K–$677K in annual revenue for three consecutive years, with seller's discretionary earnings consistently in the $280K–$300K range — a mature 43%+ SDE margin profile that reflects disciplined pricing and efficient route economics across a dense service territory.

Revenue is heavily weighted toward commercial accounts: multifamily / apartment communities, HOAs, retail centers, hospitals, and property management firms. The largest single customer represents under 10% of trailing-twelve-month revenue, and the top ten accounts together drive roughly 31% of three-year revenue — well below typical buyer-concentration concern thresholds. Residential work makes up only 10–15% of the book by design; the owner has deliberately focused the company on repeat commercial relationships rather than one-and-done residential leads.

Services provided include tree removal, structural pruning and trimming, stump grinding, plant health care (Arborjet injection, fertilization, pest and disease treatment), and storm response. The company holds a Utah pesticide applicator's license, enabling chemical treatment work that many regional competitors cannot legally perform.

The included equipment package is modern, well-maintained, and conservatively valued at approximately $402,000. The fleet is sized for a single primary crew with capacity to add a second crew without significant capital outlay.

The team consists of four long-tenured field employees with 5 to 7 years of company tenure each, including a lead climber/foreman, an assistant foreman/lift operator, a lead groundman, and a secondary groundman. All are full-time W-2 employees and U.S. citizens with valid driver's licenses. The owner runs bids, scheduling, and back office.

Marketing has been entirely word-of-mouth and reputation-driven for seven years — there is no active sales program, no paid digital advertising, and no dedicated business development resource. The website exists but generates minimal inbound demand. For a buyer with marketing or sales infrastructure, this is a clear and underwritable growth lever.

All Vehicles, trailers, and equipment required for operations and growth included. Current value of about $402,000.
Opportunities for Growth
The business has reached its current scale on word-of-mouth alone. A buyer with even modest sales and marketing infrastructure has multiple underwritable levers:
+ Layer in a recurring tree health program.
+ Hire a dedicated commercial sales rep.
+ Turn on digital marketing.
+ Add a second crew.
+ Geographic expansion.
+ Cross-sell stump grinding.
