Further Description:
This business is operated of a home office, as there is no need to rent a space - no work is done in an office atmosphere other than clerical tasks. All staff are subcontractors that use their own equipment, so there are no assets or equipment to speak of that the business owns.
Competition:
The DFW tree service industry has many competitors, but there is a stark between those outfits that offer tree services and those companies who excel at it. This operation runs crews 52 weeks per year and is poised to flourish in 2009 as weaker competition closes down. They differentiate themselves from the competition on several levels, including response time to bid requests, price and quality of work. But their marketing program in hands-down one of the best in the industry, which has been the biggest key to their growth.
Growth/Expansion:
There are several unique growth strategies that can be implemented, which makes this operation even more attractive. A new owner could expand geographically - that would only require tweaking the marketing program slightly and then adding the staff to handle the new leads. This company works primarily with residential customers, so targeting commercial accounts, such as property management companies, is another opportunity. Creating referral relationships with complementary service providers is another way to expand.
