Does Augusta Lawn Care have any predecessors?

According to the 2025 Augusta Lawn Care Franchise Disclosure Document, Augusta Franchise LLC, the franchisor, does not have any predecessors. The document specifies that Augusta Franchise LLC was formed on June 6, 2019, and has been offering franchises for Augusta Lawn Care Businesses since that time.

However, the FDD mentions an affiliated company, Augusta Lawn Care Corporation (the "Affiliated Entity"), which has been operating a business substantially similar to the franchise offered since 2014. While this entity is affiliated with Augusta Lawn Care, it is not considered a predecessor. Additionally, the document mentions other affiliated companies such as Copilot Software LLC, formed on January 1, 2023, Mike Andes Media Group LLC, formed on February 6, 2019, and Augusta Lawn Care IP, LLC, formed on July 26, 2019, as well as a parent company, Mike Hold Corporation, formed on December 12, 2024. These entities provide various services to Augusta Lawn Care franchisees but are not predecessors to the franchise itself.

For a prospective franchisee, this means that Augusta Lawn Care is a relatively new franchise system, officially franchising since June 2019. While the affiliated entity has operational experience dating back to 2014, the franchise system itself has a shorter track record. This may present both opportunities and risks for franchisees, as they are joining a system that is still relatively young but has some operational history through its affiliate.
