One of the largest locally-owned lawn care businesses in Madison, Wisconsin, Keyman Lawn, Tree & Pest has been offering the community fertilization and weed control, along with pest and mosquito control, and tree care for over 25 years. They serve roughly 2,700 customers, most of whom have been served for over 10-20 years.
While working as a teacher many years ago, Mike Huebner started his very own lawn care business on the side and quickly discovered a passion for business operations. In 2023, he began exploring acquisition opportunities and set his sights on Keyman Lawn, Tree & Pest. Not only would he be leveraging his own personal experience, but he was also drawn to the business’s strong reputation, excellent customer service, and experienced team.
It was soon after that Mike was advised to explore SBA loan options and was referred by his business broker to Dennis Wagner, one of the Business Development Officers at FNB Small Business Finance. Out of the many lenders Mike connected with, Dennis was, by far, the most communicative and professional. Through the dedicated team at FNB Small Business Finance, Mike secured an SBA 7(a) loan to support the acquisition of Keyman Lawn, Tree & Pest.
Mike recalled his experience:
Working with Dennis and FNB Small Business Finance was a standout experience. From day one, he made the process easy, kept me informed, and was always available to answer questions. When unexpected changes came up, he handled them with ease and confidence. I’d gladly recommend him to others not only as an SBA lender, but a trusted advisor!
Congratulations to Mike and Keyman Lawn, Tree & Pest on an exciting new chapter! Dennis and everyone at FNB Small Business Finance wish you nothing but success!
