What acquirers look at
Commercial recurring contracts are the prize; residential mow-and-blow routes trade at much lower multiples, and route density drives margin more than revenue does. Tree care is the equipment-heavy end of the category, with real collateral value for SBA lending and durable utility line-clearance contracts.
