Partner & CEO Opportunity : Full-Service Landscaping & Hardscaping

Are you an ambitious leader with a proven track record in the landscaping, construction, or recurring service industry, ready to step into a significant ownership role and drive the future of a thriving business?

Mainshares Capital is seeking a Partner & Chief Executive Officer to lead a well-established, high-demand landscaping and hardscaping company. Founded in 1989, this business boasts a long-standing reputation for excellence across residential and commercial sectors. Its robust service model includes lawn maintenance, comprehensive landscape design and installation, hardscaping (brick pavers, concrete), and high-volume snow removal. This is a unique opportunity to partner in the ownership and operation of a resilient business with over 530 loyal maintenance accounts and diverse revenue streams.

As a Partner & CEO, you'll benefit from a competitive compensation structure that includes substantial equity in the company, allowing you to build significant wealth as the business grows, alongside attractive bonus opportunities.

Uncapped Growth Potential : This opportunity offers the chance to directly impact the trajectory of a successful services operation, driving significant growth in densely populated areas. You'll have the autonomy to expand the commercial service base (corporate offices, warehouses, retail) and increase the scope of hardscaping projects, with the financial rewards of ownership directly tied to your success.

Meaningful Ownership & Impact : You'll be at the helm of a respected small business, making critical operational and strategic decisions. Your leadership will directly shape the company's future, its impact on clients with essential year-round services, and the well-being of its employees, embodying our mission to foster robust small businesses.
