- The main season for the business is from February to November which is during the spring, summer, and autumn.
- We hire part-time employees during the season to take care of the harvest.
- Plantation is done during the winter (january, february) so that the plants are ready for sale in the spring (march) when they are planted by customers.
- The business does not generate much income during the winter season and is dependent on its revenue generation during the other seasons to last the winter.
- Ornamental flowers are grown all season but are mostly preferred by customers during spring (balcony flowers, garden flowers) and autumn (flowers for graves).

The ornamental plants, the company produces the most balcony flowers, flowers for graves, and chrysanthemums. When it comes to vegetable seedlings, they do not focus on a single type but grow everything from salad plants, fruit plants, cabbage plants, root vegetables, and bulbs.
The buyer will get all assets necessary for the company's operations:
- Machinery.
- Equipment.
- 5 Greenhouses.
- The brand.
- Agreements with buyers and sellers.
Only the greenhouses, equipment, machinery, brands, and agreements are part of the transaction.
The real value of physical assets is much higher than EUR 15,000 (as per the company's balance sheet) because the entrepreneur depreciated them quicker than their actual useful life. He also reported a lot of investments in tangible assets as ongoing maintenance costs, to reduce the taxable income.
The transaction can also be broadened to include all real estate in which the company operates. The price for the business including all real estate would be EUR 1.05 million.
The company carries out the activity in a commercial-residential building with an area of 750 sqm, which was built a decade back, and in five greenhouses with a total area of 5,400 sqm. The greenhouses are in good condition and are regularly maintained and renovated. The total area of all land is 8,258 sqm.
Most of the real estate is personally owned by the sole proprietor.
This is a sole proprietorship. The business is presently funded by the entrepreneur's own funds and bank loans.
Bank loans are not part of the transaction and will be repaid by the current owner on the date of the transaction.
