Do I need an MBA to join?

While a large number of our members come from dedicated programs at Harvard Business School, Stanford GSB, Chicago Booth, and other top programs, searching is no longer reserved for the elite. With the current abundance of dry powder in private equity, and an increasing number of business owners reaching retirement age, good deals rarely go unfunded.

Really good margin industry, lower overheads than other landscape segments, but very dependent on region/regulations. Definitely one of the easiest companies in the segment to buy, improve, sell.

I looked at a few landscape companies in VA. I did not focus on fertilizer only, but one company I came across in my market research was Virginia Green. redacted

That company was not for sale and I did not approach, but I was struck by how straightforward and scalable their model is. Most landscape co's you have to be good at many things: mowing, edging, installs, design/build, etc. With a pesticide or fertilizer company, you only have to do 1 thing well to succeed.

Happy to talk more, though the above it most of my analysis on the segment you're looking at. I didn't get a chance to go deep on a fertilizer only option.
