You built a commercial cleaning company that Albuquerque businesses count on every night. When you are ready to step back, Investera Holdings buys janitorial companies here and keeps them running — protecting your crew, your contracts, and the name you earned across the metro.
Why Albuquerque owners are thinking about selling now
Albuquerque’s office and institutional base keeps demand for dependable janitorial crews steady in almost any economy. The towers around ABQ Uptown and Coronado Center, the office parks of the Journal Center corridor, tenants inside Sandia Science & Technology Park, and the medical campuses of Presbyterian, Lovelace, and UNM Hospital all need contracted cleaning year-round. On top of that, the high-desert setting itself creates work: fine West Mesa dust, spring windstorms, and the mud tracked in during the July-to-September monsoon mean local facilities need frequent scheduled service, not occasional touch-ups.
Many janitorial owners here built their route books during the long growth around Kirtland Air Force Base contractors, the UNM and CNM campuses, and the film-production surge at the Mesa del Sol studios — and after years of nightly logistics, they are ready for a change. The hard part is handing off without unraveling everything: losing supervisors, spooking clients, or watching quality slip. Selling to an operator who intends to keep the crew, the routes, and the relationships intact solves that. We are not looking to strip the business for parts; we want to run it.
Who we buy in the Albuquerque area
We are a Michigan family that buys service businesses and operates them for the long haul — never a broker taking a listing, never a fund flipping for a quick exit. We look for cleaning companies with a real book of recurring work in and around Albuquerque.
- Recurring nightly or contracted janitorial revenue
- Roughly $500K+ in revenue or SDE (close is fine)
- A supervisor and crew who can run routes without you
- A trusted name with commercial or institutional clients
- Owner open to a clean handoff or a paid transition
If that sounds like your company, a first conversation costs you nothing and stays completely private. Even if the timing is a year or two out, it is worth knowing what a straightforward, broker-free sale to an operator could look like.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees. We buy directly, so there is no listing commission skimmed off your proceeds and no middleman steering the deal — the conversation is between you and the people who will actually run your business.
A confidential process. Your crew, your clients, and your competitors hear nothing until you decide the time is right. Nightly cleaning runs on trust, and we protect it from the first call.
Creative deal structures. Cash at close, a seller note, an earnout tied to retained contracts, or a phased buyout — we shape terms around your goals rather than forcing your company into one rigid template.
Operators, not a fund. We install strong systems and a dedicated general manager so the company runs without you, and we hold what we buy. Our portfolio — CT Cleaners and Optimal Facility Services — is proof we know this trade.
How the process works
The first step is a private call to understand your company, your accounts, and what you want out of a sale. If it looks like a fit, we sign an NDA, review a few years of financials, and give you an honest read on value early — no drawn-out fishing expedition. From there we build a fair offer, agree on terms, and move through diligence at a pace that respects your time. Because we buy with our own capital and are not chasing a lender’s checklist, we can close cleanly and predictably.
We will take care of what you built
When we buy a janitorial company, our first job is stability. We put a professional management layer over the operation — a general manager and clear systems for scheduling, quality checks, supplies, and payroll — so the routes run smoothly whether or not you stay. Your supervisors keep their roles, your crews keep their jobs, and your clients keep the service they signed up for. We grow patiently by earning the next contract, not by cutting the corners that built your reputation in the first place.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my commercial cleaning business worth in Albuquerque?
Most established janitorial companies trade in a range of about 2.5 to 4 times seller’s discretionary earnings (SDE). Where you land depends on how much revenue is under recurring contract, client concentration, margins, and how well the business runs without you. This is a typical range, not a guarantee — we give you an honest, specific read once we see the numbers.
Will this stay confidential?
Yes. Nothing is shared with your crew, clients, or competitors until you choose to make it known. Early conversations happen under an NDA, and we handle the whole process discreetly.
Do I have to pay broker or advisor fees?
No. We are the buyer, not a broker. There is no listing commission and no success fee taken out of your proceeds.
Can I stay involved after the sale?
If you want to. Some owners hand off over a few months and walk away; others stay on in a paid role during transition or longer. We build the structure around what works for you and the business.
How long does a sale usually take?
Once we have financials and agree on terms, a straightforward deal often closes in roughly 60 to 90 days. We move at a pace that fits you, and because we use our own capital we avoid lender-driven delays.
What areas around Albuquerque do you buy in?
We look at companies across the metro and nearby communities, including Rio Rancho, Los Lunas, Bernalillo, Corrales, Placitas, and the South Valley.
