    Business Registration Number: L23000167018

    Location: Citrus Springs, FL, United States

    Length of Operation: 1-5

    Annual Gross Income: Less than $100k

    Annual Gross Expense: Less than $100k

    Open to Loans: YES

  • Funding Usage

    At present, our plan does not include allocating funds for salaries until the summer of 2024. Even when we do begin paying ourselves, we intend to keep the amounts modest. This approach allows us to maximize our investment in the business, enabling us to reinvest as much capital as possible. To streamline our financial obligations, we aim to consolidate our higher interest loans into a single payment. Moreover, we envision investing in additional equipment to ensure uninterrupted operations, particularly during maintenance periods.

  • Business Plan

    We anticipate serving an average of 20 customers per week in the first year of operation, and increasing that number to 50 customers per week in the second year. Each customer's property is estimated to be worth $40. Our highest expense is expected to be equipment payments. In the first year, we kept payroll costs minimal as the owners managed the business themselves. However, as the business grows, we anticipate the need to hire employees. Our marketing strategy primarily relies on word-of-mouth and no-cost social media, with a modest advertising budget. After successfully running a landscape business in the Pacific Northwest for nearly ten years, Erikka and her husband decided to relocate to Florida. This pivotal move marked the beginning of Green Ace Landscape Solutions LLC. Driven by a clear vision, Erikka and Louise aimed to create a lasting legacy that could be inherited by Erikka's children. As a family-owned business, we take immense pride in our origins and are committed to upholding this tradition for future generations. We are proud to be a Female Owned and Disabled Veteran Owned, Small Family Business. As a veteran-owned small business, we aim to provide quality service at competitive prices. Our key metrics focus on maximizing productivity and profitability through close monitoring of revenue streams from maintenance contracts and one-time services. Although costs are generally consistent, labor is a significant variable expense which we staff adequately to ensure prompt, exceptional service. Our veteran-focused care, budget-conscious plans, eco-friendly services, and proven track record of customer satisfaction set us apart, even as competitors like Green View, A-1 Lawn Care, and The Grounds Guys also serve our region. We believe our attention to detail, responsiveness, and focus on sustainability makes our pricing competitive for the level of service we provide.
