Established Spanish Operating Platform & Marbella Landscape Business
Business Description
Spanish Platform with Revenue, Teams, Assets and Local Market Access
Strategic acquisition opportunity in Marbella: an established, debt-free Spanish operating company built on close to two decades of business activity in Spain and positioned at the intersection of premium landscaping, estate services, golf, sports turf and leisure-related real estate.
The opportunity is the acquisition of the operating company as a going concern—not simply a brand, client list or equipment package. The buyer gains an active Spanish platform with current revenue and adjusted EBITDA, recurring contracts, trained personnel, established operating procedures, client and supplier relationships, vehicles, machinery, specialist equipment and immediate delivery capability in Marbella and across the Costa del Sol.
The existing landscape design-build and estate-maintenance operation is the company’s cash-generating core. It combines recurring maintenance income with higher-value projects in landscape construction and restoration, irrigation and drainage, water management, outdoor lighting, turf and agronomy, project management and long-term outdoor asset care. This provides the buyer with an established commercial route into one of the Mediterranean’s leading luxury residential, resort and golf destinations.
Golf and sports are integral components of the platform. The founder brings formal golf-course management training and practical experience across golf operations, course renovation, construction coordination, irrigation, drainage, grow-in, turf management and operational improvement. The company also undertakes natural sports-turf and playing-surface projects, creating credible expansion opportunities across golf clubs, resorts, residential golf communities, sports academies, rugby and football grounds, training facilities and integrated leisure developments.
The strategic value lies in the integration of these capabilities. Premium golf, resort and residential projects increasingly require coordinated expertise across landscape, water management, turf, construction, sports facilities, hospitality environments and long-term operations. The company can participate throughout this lifecycle—from technical assessment and project conceptualisation through design coordination, construction, grow-in, maintenance and performance improvement.
A buyer may continue scaling the existing profitable landscape and estate-services business, develop a dedicated golf and sports division, pursue management or advisory contracts, participate in integrated resort and residential projects, acquire smaller complementary operators, or use the company as a regional platform for Southern Europe and the wider Mediterranean market.
The opportunity also offers a transatlantic dimension. The seller’s professional and commercial experience in both Spain and the United States creates a two-way expansion pathway. For a U.S.-based strategic buyer, the acquisition provides an immediate operating base and established market access in Spain and Europe. For a Spanish or European buyer, the structured transition can support selected expansion into the United States, particularly Texas and California, through the transfer of market knowledge, relationships, brand development and operating know-how. The precise U.S. scope would be agreed as part of the transaction.
The investment case therefore combines current earnings, recurring revenue, tangible operating assets, an established workforce, local market access, specialist golf and sports expertise, and the strategic flexibility to expand into adjacent sectors and geographies.
The seller will provide a structured transition to protect continuity with personnel, clients, suppliers and active projects. Detailed financial statements, adjusted EBITDA reconciliation, recurring contract information, personnel structure, asset register, corporate records, project pipeline and transition plan are available to qualified buyers under NDA.

- Market Outlook / Competition
- The premium Marbella and Costa del Sol service market is fragmented. The company provides an established local foothold, trained execution capacity and access to recurring estate clients. Its integrated model supports cross-selling, consolidation of smaller operators and expansion into adjacent property and outdoor-service verticals.
- Opportunities for Growth
- The buyer may scale the current landscape and estate-services business, increase route density, expand across the Costa del Sol, acquire smaller local operators, or add adjacent property, facilities, golf and outdoor-service verticals. The existing platform reduces the time and execution risk of building these capabilities from zero.
