How I'd Grow a Landscaping Business Beyond One Crew

Uh, I own a landscape design construction company in the Florida panhandle. We sell primarily to homeowners. Last year we did around 1.5 million in revenue, around 300k net. This year closer to 2.2 million and 400k net. Uh, I have one main crew, seven crew members, and then I sub out another like five guys.

>> Um, [clears throat] I got about 300k in cash. And my big goal is to have, you know, a $50 million plus landscaping construction firm with multiple divisions. >> Enterprise, right? >> What is it? >> Enterprise value or sales? >> Enterprise value. >> Okay, got it. >> Yeah. So, my main bottlenecks right now,

uh, it's it's kind of a little bit of everything. recruiting ops, uh, deciding where to place the big bets, you know, buy property, invest in crews, um, you know, where to put that big allocation of money. So really the main question I have is with everything that you have with context as far as what I

do with the the revenue, the net cash, what I have in uh you know dried powder, where do you think I should put the next investment that gets the highest compounding return over the next 12 to four or 24 months that'll give me the closer to my goal? more trucks, you know, buying or leasing a property that

I've thought of that's high traffic area that could get me ideal clients, more marketing brand or something else I'm not seeing. >> Yeah. Well, first off, uh kudos on the question and context and getting to it. It actually gives me very helpful. Um so, basically, you have to 20x, right? If you want the $50 million enterprise

value, so 8 million in IBIDA, call it 6x, 6 and a halfx, uh is what you're going to get in multiple. So, that gives you your $50 million enterprise. You're currently doing 400k. So 20x that uh would be uh 8 million. So uh we got to get to like 44 million, you know,
