If you own a commercial cleaning or janitorial company in Macon and have started thinking about what comes next, Investera Holdings would like to have a quiet conversation. We are a Michigan family-operated buyer that acquires service businesses and keeps them running for the long haul. We are not a broker hunting for a listing, and we are not a passive fund looking to flip a company and move on. We buy operations like yours to own and operate ourselves, backed by hands-on experience running cleaning and facility companies including CT Cleaners and Optimal Facility Services. Our whole model is built on strong systems and a professional management layer, so the business keeps performing whether or not you are the one unlocking the door at night.
Why Macon owners are thinking about selling now
Macon runs on square footage that has to be cleaned every single day. Downtown office buildings along Cherry Street and Poplar, the Atrium Health Navicent medical campus, Mercer University, Middle Georgia State University, the consolidated Macon-Bibb government offices, and the GEICO regional operations center all depend on dependable janitorial crews. Layer in the warehouse and distribution space that keeps expanding along the I-75 and I-16 corridors, and you have a deep, recurring base of commercial accounts that reward a contractor who simply shows up and does the work right. A cleaning company with signed contracts and a steady night crew is genuinely valuable in this market.
At the same time, many of the owners who built these companies through the 1990s and 2000s are ready to slow down, and the day-to-day grind of janitorial ownership is real: late-night callbacks, chronic turnover, and the constant pressure of covering shifts when someone does not show. If you have poured years into building routes and relationships across Bibb County, you deserve a buyer who protects that work rather than stripping it for parts. Selling now, while your contracts are healthy and your reputation is strong, lets you exit on your terms instead of waiting until burnout forces a rushed decision.
Who we buy in the Macon area
We are not trying to buy every cleaning company in Middle Georgia. We look for a specific kind of business, one where the fundamentals are already sound and a dedicated general manager can step in and keep it humming.
- Recurring, contract-based revenue from commercial or institutional accounts
- Roughly $500K or more in annual revenue or seller’s discretionary earnings (close is fine)
- A capable, reliable crew and at least one strong lead or supervisor
- A solid local reputation and low customer churn across Macon and nearby counties
- An owner open to a clean handoff or staying on for a transition
If most of that describes your company, there is a good chance we are a fit, even if your books are not perfectly tidy or you are not completely sure you want to sell yet. The first conversation costs you nothing and commits you to nothing.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees. Because we are the actual buyer and not a middleman, you do not pay a listing commission or a success fee out of your proceeds; the number we agree on is the number that matters to you.
A confidential process. Your employees, your customers, and your competitors hear nothing unless and until you decide to tell them, so your accounts stay stable and your crew stays calm while we talk.
Creative deal structures. We can tailor terms to what you need, whether that is a clean cash close, a phased buyout, or a structure that lets you stay involved and share in the upside.
Operators, not a fund. We run cleaning and facility businesses ourselves through CT Cleaners and Optimal Facility Services, so we install real management and systems rather than dashboards and quarterly targets from afar.
How the process works
The process is deliberately simple and respectful of your time. It starts with a relaxed phone call to understand your company 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: your revenue, your contract mix, and how the crew is organized. From there we can usually give you a straightforward valuation range within a couple of weeks, walk you through what a deal would look like, and move at whatever pace feels comfortable. There is no pressure, no auction, and no parade of tire-kickers walking through your operation.
We will take care of what you built
When we buy a Macon cleaning company, we keep it running under a professional management layer rather than gutting it. That means bringing in a dedicated general manager and the systems, scheduling, and quality controls that let the business run without leaning on the founder for every decision. Your crew keeps their jobs, your customers keep the service they trust, and the name you built in this community keeps standing for something. Our goal is continuity: the same reliable cleaning your accounts have counted on, backed by more resources and a longer horizon than a single owner can carry alone.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my commercial cleaning business worth in Macon?
Most healthy, contract-based cleaning companies trade in a range of roughly 2.5 to 4 times seller’s discretionary earnings (SDE). Where you land inside that range depends on the stability of your contracts, customer concentration, crew quality, and how dependent the business is on you personally. This is a typical range, not a guarantee; the only way to get a real number is a confidential conversation about your specifics.
Will this stay confidential?
Yes. We treat confidentiality as the foundation of the whole process. We sign a mutual NDA early, and nothing is shared with your employees, customers, or competitors unless and until you decide the timing is right.
Do I have to pay any broker or listing fees?
No. We are the direct buyer, so there is no listing commission and no success fee coming out of your proceeds. That is one of the biggest differences between talking to us and listing with a broker.
Can I stay involved after the sale?
If you would like to, absolutely. Some owners want a clean break, and others prefer to stay on for a transition period or in a longer-term role. We can build the deal either way; a professional general manager can carry the day-to-day so you are not stuck running shifts.
How long does a typical deal take?
It varies, but many conversations move from a first call to a signed agreement in a matter of weeks once we have the basics. We can go faster or slower depending on what works for you; we would rather get it right than rush it.
What areas around Macon do you buy in?
We buy throughout Middle Georgia, including Warner Robins, Byron, Perry, Gray, Forsyth, and Bonaire, in addition to Macon and the rest of Bibb County. If your cleaning routes reach into the surrounding communities, that is a plus, not a problem.
