Investera Holdings is a Michigan family-operated buyer that acquires commercial cleaning and janitorial companies in Manchester, NH and keeps them running. We are not a broker and we are not a passive fund shopping your business to strangers. We buy one company, install strong systems and a professional management layer, and operate it for the long haul. If you have spent years building routes, training crews, and earning trust with Manchester property managers, we want to protect what you made while giving you a clean, private way out.
Why Manchester owners are thinking about selling now
Manchester is the Queen City and the commercial heart of New Hampshire, and that shows up in every janitorial route. The Amoskeag Millyard has been reborn as office space for tech firms, UNH Manchester, and advanced-manufacturing tenants, while Elm Street anchors a downtown of law firms, banks, and civic buildings. Add the medical footprint of Elliot Health System and Catholic Medical Center, the SNHU presence, and the retail spine of South Willow Street near the Mall of New Hampshire, and you get a dense, recurring base of offices, clinics, and storefronts that need nightly and weekly cleaning. That mix is exactly the recurring, contract-driven revenue we look for.
Timing matters here in ways it does not in warmer markets. Manchester winters run long, and road salt, slush, and grit tracked across lobby tile and carpet drive real demand for floor care, matting programs, and post-storm cleanups from November through March. Many local janitorial owners built their books through the 1990s and 2000s and are now thinking about slowing down, but worry that selling means handing crews and accounts to someone who will cut corners. That is the gap we fill: a buyer who keeps the name, the people, and the standards while you step back on your terms.
Who we buy in the Manchester area
We are a fit for established Manchester janitorial and commercial cleaning owners who have built something real and want it to outlast them. The clearest fits usually look like this:
- Recurring or contract-based janitorial revenue, not one-off jobs
- Roughly $500K+ in revenue or SDE (close is fine)
- A capable crew and at least one strong lead or supervisor
- A solid reputation with Manchester-area property managers
- An owner open to a clean handoff or staying on short term
If most of that sounds like your business, a conversation is worth your time even if you are still a year or two from deciding. The earlier we talk, the more flexibility we both have.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees, ever. We buy directly, so you do not pay a 10 percent brokerage commission out of your proceeds or wait months for a listing to attract tire-kickers.
A confidential process from day one. Your crews, your Manchester accounts, and your competitors never need to know a conversation is happening until you decide the time is right.
Creative deal structures that fit you. Whether you want a clean exit, a seller note, or a phased transition, we shape terms around your goals instead of a rigid template.
Operators, not a fund. We run the businesses we buy. Our portfolio includes CT Cleaners and Optimal Facility Services, so we understand routes, labor, and margins firsthand.
How the process works
The process is simple and private. We start with a short, confidential call to understand your accounts, your crew, and what you want out of a sale. If it looks like a fit, we sign a mutual NDA and review a few basics: revenue, contract mix, and how the day-to-day runs. From there we make a straightforward offer with clear terms and no pressure. Because we are the actual buyer and not a middleman, there is no listing, no marketing of your company around Manchester, and no parade of unqualified prospects touring your operation.
We will take care of what you built
When we buy, our first job is to keep the business steady. We layer in proven systems for scheduling, quality checks, and account communication, and we put a dedicated general manager and a put-in-charge team in place so the company runs without depending on any single owner. Your longtime clients keep the service they trust, your supervisors get real support and a path forward, and your crews keep their jobs. We are stewards of what you built, and we plan to still be cleaning the same Manchester offices a decade from now.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my commercial cleaning business worth in Manchester?
Most healthy janitorial companies trade in a range of roughly 2.5 to 4 times SDE (seller’s discretionary earnings), depending on contract stability, customer concentration, and how well the business runs without you. That is a typical range, not a guarantee. Give us your numbers and we will walk you through an honest, specific view of value.
Will you keep my conversation confidential?
Yes. Confidentiality is the default. We sign a mutual NDA early, and nothing is shared with your crews, your Manchester clients, or competitors until you are ready. Deals fall apart when word leaks, so we protect the process as carefully as you do.
Do I have to pay any broker or listing fees?
No. We are the direct buyer, not a broker or advisor, so there are no brokerage commissions or listing fees coming out of your proceeds. It is one of the real advantages of selling to an operator instead of going to market.
Can I stay involved after the sale?
You can if you want to, but you do not have to. Some owners stay on for a defined transition to hand off relationships; others want a clean break. We install a general manager and support team either way, so the business does not lean on you after closing.
How long does a sale usually take?
A focused deal often moves from first call to close in about 60 to 90 days, depending on how organized your records are and the structure we agree on. We can go faster or slower to match your timeline.
What areas around Manchester do you buy in?
We look at commercial cleaning businesses across the Manchester region, including Nashua, Concord, Bedford, and Derry, along with the surrounding Hillsborough County towns. If your accounts sit in that footprint, we would like to talk.
