SYBS Premier Estate Agents are delighted to bring to the market an excellent business opportunity to purchase an established Green Thumb Franchise in South Yorkshire. The business has over 3000 customers and a turnover in excess of £245,000. Whilst a sizeable going concern, there is still a great opportunity to continue to increase the customer base, revenue and profitability.

Green Thumb pioneered lawn care in the UK in 1986 and has continued to pave the way for all that follows in the industry some 29 years later. It offers a truly nationwide lawn care service with 220+ franchises tending to the needs of over 450,000 customers.

Green Thumb is the largest, and most recommended lawn care company in Europe. The team behind the brand ensure that the business never stands still and strives to find new initiatives and improvements year upon year.

Investors in the Green Thumb brand can expect excellent returns, with re-sales of existing businesses being in great demand. In the meantime the business model returns high profitability levels year upon year within a true management franchise format. This is a franchise for those wishing to build a team, generate many 1,000s of customers and ultimately create significant wealth.

It is cutting-edge technical research and developmental expertise, combined with friendly local service and world-class products that make Green Thumb the leading lawn care experts. Green Thumb’s mission is to make a lawn reach its full potential and to offer exceptional service by all the trained operatives.

This particular franchise has a highly valuable client base which would be an ideal purchase for another company in the same sector looking to expand its operation or an individual looking to start their own business. It is a well-established profitable concern. The business is professionally set up with all equipment and documentation required ready for someone to take over the business with a lot of the hard work already being done.
