The Harvest Group has created Harvest the Green Partners, a group dedicated to helping business owners buy and sell their businesses. According to the company, Harvest the Green Partners is focused on building a business that has value.
Joining the Harvest team is Alison Hoffman, a landscape industry entrepreneur who brings 20 plus years of mergers and acquisitions experience with companies of all sizes.
“Harvest the Green Partners is focused on harvesting as much of the green, the dollars you deserve after all the years of hard work it took to build your company,” says Ed Laflamme, president of The Harvest Group. “We started the company because so many of our clients wanted to either buy companies to grow or sell their own and once we met Alison, starting the company was a no brainer.”
The Harvest Group recommends considering these questions and issues when considering buying or selling.
- Do you know the real value of your business?
- Have you decided if you’re ready to sell?
- How big do you want to grow?
- How long do you want to work?
- What is the market price for my company?
- Where do I find likely buyers who will pay the best price?
- How long will it take to sell my business?
- Understanding what adds value from the buyer perspective.
- The role for your lawyer, accountant and adviser.
In addition to Harvest the Green Partners, the company also provides one-to-one consulting, peer groups and the Harvest Academy, which offers online landscape business training.
