About this Business
Step into an established, home-based pool service business with nearly $394,000 in 2025 revenue and on target for $410,000 for 2026 with recurring weekly customers, and an experienced team already in place. Operating since 2018, the business completed more than 4,300 services last year in a year-round pool market.
Pool Scouts serves a mix of residential and commercial customers in the Pensacola area. Most customers receive weekly residential pool service, creating a steady base of repeat business, while commercial pool cleaning represents approximately 25% of the customer mix. The business has also earned more than 100 Google reviews.
An experienced office manager keeps the day-to-day operation moving, while a trained technician knows the customers and handles pool service and repairs. The business is home-based, and approximately $5,000 in pool cleaning tools and equipment is included in the sale.
The owner has spent the past year improving efficiency and preparing the operation for its next stage. A hands-on buyer can step into an established customer base and team, then build from that foundation by adding field capacity and continuing to grow revenue.
