Arborist Business with Council Contract for Sale ST1587
Secure your future with a highly profitable, long-term contracted tree services business in Eastern and North Eastern suburbs of Melbourne.
Business is a well-established, fully operational tree services business with over 25 years of trading history in the Maroondah and Yarra Valley’s high-demand bushland region. The business enjoys an enviable position with a major council contract secured for the next 4 years, with options to renew.
Key Highlights:
- Turnover: ~$600,000 and is stable for years
- Net Profit: $200,000 per year with the managing owner - not on the tools
- Additional $100,000+ per year easily achievable by working “on the tools” - taking total earnings to $300,000+ for a hands-on buyer
- Secure 4-Year Council Contract - provides guaranteed recurring revenue and strong credibility
- Excellent gross margins with low overheads – equipment can be stored at home
- Quality fleet valued at $167,000 - 1 X Ford 4WD Ute with tool boxes, 1 X Ford 4WD Ute/ Tipper, Vermeer wood chipper, STIHL chainsaws & all other specialised equipment included
- Simple, proven systems easy to run and hand over
Why This Business Stands Out:
The combination of a secured 4-year council contract with options to renew, plus the immediate opportunity to add $100k+ by working on the tools, makes this a genuinely rare and highly attractive opportunity in the tree services industry.
The current owner is retiring and will provide full training and a smooth handover.
Ideal for:
- A working arborist or existing crew/business
- A couple or family with an arborist experience or experience within the tree industry seeking a lifestyle business in one of Victoria’s most beautiful areas
- An investor looking for secure, contracted income with strong growth potential
Price: $420,000
This is a genuine, profitable business with long-term security and excellent upside.
