If someone wanted to buy your business and offered enough money that you would sell, what would you do next?

 

[MLI]

I'd look into a Dunkin Donuts franchise. BIG money involved when it comes to that morning cup of joe!

 

[YardMeister]

I'd be out on my new Grady White, trying to catch the Big One!

 

[CamLand]

Funny i've been asked to buy my business from 2 diffrent lawn services,of course when i see money then the decision will arise,i would however stay in the lawn and landscape field,say as a foreman or comparable position...

I had that happen this past summer, it took two seconds for me to think about it and I'VE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER.
I'm looking for a 48" walk behind that i will put in the back of a pick up and be a super scrub.

I'd build my dream sports bar .... 20 Diamond pool tables .... 10 Darts .... 10,500 sq ft .... stand alone building .... lots of APA

I'm interested in knowing how the dollar amount was calculated? Is it price per lawn, total year end rev, what?

 

[John Gamba]

Rodfather
Its price per lawn and it is low. Idle hands are the devils work shop!

Had someone call me the other day, and ask me if I'd sell them some of my accounts? Not interested.

You should at least look at the money,then decide.

[T.E.]

Yes,but they didn't want the whole biz.just pick, and choose. Also they seemed a little shady, just a gut feeling though. Tony

 

[CSRA Landscaping]

I'd probably go back to language school for a refresher and get back into translation work ... on a flexible schedule.

 

[tiedeman]

I tried the whole sell thing for 4 days, backed out of the deal. I see myself in this business for life

exactly

 

[dmk395]

If the money was right I would surely sell. I would want enough to retire, otherwise I don't know that it would be worth it.

 

[Darryl G]

Nope. I wouldn't sell. This is only our second year and I'm still enjoying it. When I stop enjoying it, then maybe I'd sell. No idea what I'd do instead. Maybe go back to another previous career until I get tired of it again.

 

[mower_babe]

iwouldsell...without enough thought, probably. I guess it depends on what day you ask me on.
