Investera Holdings is a Michigan family-operated company that buys and keeps running service businesses. We are not a broker and we are not a passive fund. We are operators who acquire commercial cleaning and janitorial companies in Farmington Hills and run them for the long term. If you have spent years building nightly routes through the office towers along Northwestern Highway and the Class A buildings off Orchard Lake Road, we would like to have a confidential conversation about what comes next for your company, your crews, and your customers. Our portfolio already includes CT Cleaners and Optimal Facility Services, so we understand this trade from the inside rather than from a spreadsheet.
Why Farmington Hills owners are thinking about selling now
Farmington Hills is the second-largest community in Oakland County, home to roughly 84,000 residents and an unusually deep corporate base for a suburb its size. Bosch runs its U.S. headquarters here, alongside Mercedes-Benz Financial Services, TD Auto Finance, the Nissan Technical Center North America, and Panasonic Automotive. Add the medical office buildings, the Oakland Community College Orchard Ridge campus, and the constant churn of Class A space along the Northwestern Highway and 12 Mile corridors, and you have millions of square feet that need to be cleaned every single night. A janitorial book built on those contracts is a genuinely valuable asset, and demand is not going anywhere.
At the same time, many owners who built these routes in the 1990s and 2000s are ready to slow down, while labor stays tight and customers increasingly want a management layer they can call, not just a solo operator who does payroll at midnight. Michigan winters make that pressure sharper: road salt, slush, and grit get tracked across every lobby from November through March, which means hard-floor care, entrance matting, and touch-up work never stop. That is exactly the kind of durable, recurring business we want to own, and it is why now is a sensible moment to explore a sale on your terms.
Who we buy in the Farmington Hills area
We are a fit for established Farmington Hills cleaning and janitorial companies with real contracts and a real reputation, not startups or one-truck operations looking to flip.
- Recurring or contract revenue from office, medical, or facility accounts
- Roughly $500K+ in annual revenue or SDE (close is fine)
- A capable crew or supervisors who can run nightly routes
- A solid local reputation and low customer churn
- An owner open to a clean handoff or to staying on for a season
If most of that describes your company, a short call is worth your time even if you are still a year or two from deciding to sell.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees. We buy directly, so you are not paying a 10 percent commission out of your proceeds or waiting on a listing agent to shop your company around town.
A confidential process. Your crews, your competitors along Grand River, and your building contacts hear nothing until you are ready. Early conversations happen quietly under NDA.
Creative deal structures. Cash at close, a seller note, an earnout tied to retained accounts, or a phased transition can all be on the table depending on what you need.
Operators, not a fund. We put a dedicated general manager and systems in place and keep the company running. We are not assembling a portfolio to resell in three years.
How the process works
Our process is deliberately simple. We start with a confidential call to understand your accounts, your team, and your goals. If it looks like a fit, we sign an NDA and review basic financials and a customer summary so we can frame a fair range. From there we present a written offer, agree on structure, and move through a focused diligence period before closing with local counsel. Because we are the actual buyer and decision-maker, there is no committee to satisfy and no lender-driven delay dictating your timeline.
We will take care of what you built
When we buy a Farmington Hills janitorial company, we install strong systems and a professional management layer so the business runs without the original owner tied to it every night. That means documented routes, real supervision, quality checks, and a put-in-charge general manager who owns day-to-day operations. Your supervisors and cleaners keep their jobs, your building contacts keep the service they trust, and the name you built keeps its standing. Stewardship, not a quick flip, is the whole point of how we operate.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my commercial cleaning business worth in Farmington Hills?
Most healthy janitorial companies trade in a range of roughly 2.5 to 4 times SDE (seller’s discretionary earnings), with contract mix, account stickiness, margins, and team strength moving you within that band. This is a typical range for context, not a guarantee. The only way to get a real number is a confidential look at your books.
Will you keep this confidential?
Yes. Nothing is shared with your crews, customers, or competitors during early talks. We work under an NDA, and we let you control the timing and message of any announcement to your team.
Do I pay any broker or advisory fees?
No. We are the direct buyer, not a brokerage. There is no commission taken out of your proceeds and no listing fee.
Can I stay involved after the sale?
You can if you want to. Some owners stay on for a defined transition to hand off accounts; others prefer a clean break. We build the structure around what works for you.
How long does a sale usually take?
A straightforward deal often moves from first call to close in about 60 to 90 days, depending on how ready your financials are and the diligence involved.
What areas around Farmington Hills do you buy in?
We look throughout the region, including Farmington, Novi, West Bloomfield, Livonia, and Southfield, as well as the broader Oakland County market.
