Private Equity is Buying the Landscaping Industry!

Three of every four landscaping deals are now private equity. The owner gets all the advice. The team gets left out. And the team is where the deal actually works or falls apart. In this episode, Mike Voories breaks down what nobody is telling green industry owners about selling to private equity. Not the mechanics of the deal. The people. With about thirty years in the green industry and thousands of conversations with owners and team members, Mike shares what candidates are telling him right now, why your best people start looking the moment a sale is in the air, and what it costs you when they walk out the door. If you own a landscaping, lawn care, irrigation, tree care, or snow and ice company, and a sale is anywhere on your horizon, this one is for you.
