The founder is more of an inventor than marketer. His products have been extremely well accepted in landscaping and nursery business. They have been tested and recommended through universities and agricultural societies. The products are listed in several industry catalogs. The seller has patented the products and has established manufacturing connections for producing the products. Efforts at marketing have been limited since the business is still operating from the owner's home. A web site is used for product information and can take orders directly through the site. The precision molds for the plastic injection parts are owned by the company but held at the manufacturing plant along with some inventory. The manufacturer ships large orders direct. Customers have only praise for the products once they have used them. The potential customer base is extraordinary and result in large orders normally. The products should have national and international appeal.

Facilities: The owner operates the business from his farm. A new owner may be able to manage from a home office and use a distribution site for shipping.

Competition: There is at least one competitor on a national scale with a product that gives similar results but the costs and effort are probably more for the competitor.

Growth/Expansion: The company has several related products for the landscaping and nursery business. Aggressive marketing and trade shows should propel the company sales to much higher levels.

Financing: Will consider

Support/Training: The owner will provide assistance as needed for a transition.

Reason Selling: The owner has some health issues but he realizes he is not marketing enough.
