Investera Holdings is a Michigan family-operated company that buys commercial cleaning and janitorial businesses in Livonia and keeps them running. We are operators, not a brokerage and not a passive fund. When we acquire a company, we install strong systems and a professional management layer so the business keeps serving its customers long after the founder steps back. Our portfolio includes CT Cleaners and Optimal Facility Services, so we understand nightly routes, supply logistics, and what it takes to keep a client’s floors and restrooms spotless every single day. If you have spent years building a book of janitorial contracts across western Wayne County, this page explains how a quiet, no-broker-fee conversation with us could work.
Why Livonia owners are thinking about selling now
Livonia is one of the largest office and light-industrial employment centers in Wayne County outside Detroit, and that footprint is exactly what feeds a healthy janitorial book. The Plymouth Road corridor, the multi-tenant parks near the I-96 and I-275 interchange, Schoolcraft College, Trinity Health Livonia, and the medical and professional offices around Laurel Park all need cleaning night after night. Every one of those buildings is a recurring contract waiting to be won or kept, which is why a well-run Livonia cleaning company with steady accounts is genuinely valuable to an operator like us.
Timing matters here. Many of Livonia’s cleaning firms were built by hands-on founders who now handle sales, scheduling, quality checks, and payroll themselves, and winter makes that load heavier. Michigan’s long snow-and-salt season, roughly November through March, tracks slush and ice-melt across lobbies and hard floors, driving demand for extra floor care, mat service, and restroom attention right when the owner is most stretched. If you are tired of carrying all of that personally, selling to a buyer who will professionalize operations, rather than strip them, can be the cleanest way to protect your crew and your reputation.
Who we buy in the Livonia area
We are looking for established Livonia-area janitorial and commercial cleaning companies with real recurring revenue and a team that already does the work well. A clean fit for us usually looks like this:
- Recurring or contract cleaning revenue (nightly, weekly, or monthly accounts)
- Roughly $500K or more in revenue or SDE (close is fine)
- A capable crew and at least one dependable supervisor
- A solid local reputation with low client churn
- An owner open to a clean handoff or staying on for a while
If most of that describes your company, you are the kind of Livonia cleaning owner we would like to meet, even if your numbers are not perfectly tidy or you are only starting to think about it.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees. We buy directly, so there is no listing agent or middleman taking a commission out of your proceeds; you talk to the actual buyer from the first call.
A confidential process. Your crew, your clients, and your competitors along Plymouth Road hear nothing unless and until you decide it is time; discretion is the default, not an upgrade.
Creative deal structures. We can shape terms around what you need, whether that is a clean exit, a gradual transition, or keeping you involved and paid during a handoff period.
Operators, not a fund. We are a Michigan family that runs cleaning companies day to day, so we plan to keep your accounts, keep your people, and build on what you started rather than flip it.
How the process works
Our process is built to respect your time and your privacy. It starts with one confidential conversation where you tell us about your accounts, your crew, and what you want out of a sale. If it feels like a fit, we sign a mutual confidentiality agreement and review a few basics, such as revenue by client, contract terms, and route structure. From there we can usually give you an honest, non-binding sense of value and deal shape within a couple of weeks. There is no auction, no parade of tire-kickers through your operation, and no pressure. You control the pace, and you can stop at any point.
We will take care of what you built
When we buy a Livonia cleaning business, we are signing up to be its long-term steward, not its liquidator. We put a dedicated general manager and a put-in-charge team over daily operations so the company runs on systems instead of the owner’s memory, which is exactly how CT Cleaners and Optimal Facility Services operate. Your supervisors keep leading their routes, your clients keep the service they trust, and your name keeps its good standing in the community you built it in. Our goal is a business that is stronger and more professional a year after closing than it was the day we shook hands.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my commercial cleaning business worth in Livonia?
Most healthy cleaning and janitorial companies trade in a range of roughly 2.5x to 4x SDE (seller’s discretionary earnings), with recurring contracts, low client churn, and a capable team pushing you toward the higher end. That is a typical range, not a guarantee, and the only way to get a real number is a confidential look at your accounts and financials.
Will you keep this confidential?
Yes. Confidentiality is the foundation of how we work. We sign a mutual NDA early, and your employees, clients, and competitors learn nothing about a possible sale unless and until you choose to tell them.
Are there any broker fees or commissions?
No. We are the direct buyer, not a broker, so there is no listing commission or middleman fee coming out of your proceeds. You deal with us the whole way through.
Can I stay involved after the sale?
If you want to. Some owners want a clean exit, and others prefer to stay on for a transition or a defined role while we install a general manager. We can structure the deal either way.
How long does a typical sale take?
Once we both decide it is a fit, a straightforward deal can often close in about 60 to 90 days. We can move faster or slower depending on your needs and how quickly diligence goes.
What areas around Livonia do you buy in?
We buy throughout western Wayne County and the surrounding metro, including Westland, Redford, Farmington, Plymouth, and Novi, along with the neighboring communities in between.
