Has anyone valued snow removal companies in Canada? Looking for an idea of expected margins.
Saw two snow removal businesses fold in Collingwood this year - homeowners now jammed paying an extreme range ($250/season up to $1500/season in the same zipcode) - assume route optimization drives margins, what is a "good" margin in this space?
thanks
