Investera Holdings is a Michigan family-operated company that buys and keeps running commercial cleaning and janitorial businesses across Orlando and Orange County. We are operators and buyers, not a broker taking a commission and not a passive fund parking money. When we acquire a cleaning company, we install proven systems and a dedicated general manager so the business keeps serving accounts long after the founder steps back. Our own portfolio, including CT Cleaners and Optimal Facility Services, reflects how we work: we buy to keep and operate, not to flip.
Why Orlando owners are thinking about selling now
Orlando runs on cleanable square footage. The Orange County Convention Center on International Drive is one of the largest in the country, and the surrounding I-Drive hospitality corridor, downtown’s Class A office towers, and the medical campuses at Lake Nona keep a steady stream of nightly janitorial work in play. Add the region’s hotels, the UCF-area properties, and the AdventHealth and Orlando Health facilities, and recurring cleaning contracts here are unusually durable.
Many of the owners who built those route books started decades ago and now face rising wages, tighter labor, and demanding compliance in medical and hospitality accounts. Selling from a position of strength, with full contracts, a trained crew, and clean books, beats waiting until burnout erodes the value. Orlando’s growth means demand is not the problem; owner bandwidth is. That is exactly the moment we like to step in.
Who we buy in the Orlando area
We look for established Orlando cleaning companies with real contract revenue and a crew that already runs nightly routes without the owner on every job.
- Recurring or contracted janitorial revenue, not one-off jobs
- Roughly $500K+ in revenue or SDE (close counts)
- A capable, trained crew and supervisors already in place
- A solid reputation with Orlando-area accounts
- An owner open to a clean handoff or a short stay-on
If that sounds like the company you built, a short confidential call costs you nothing and tells you exactly where you stand.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees. We buy directly, so there is no listing commission or middleman markup carved out of your proceeds.
A confidential process. Your crews, customers, and competitors hear nothing until you decide the timing is right.
Creative deal structures. Cash at close, seller notes, earn-outs, or a partial roll: we shape terms around your goals, not a template.
Operators, not a fund. We are a family that runs cleaning companies for the long haul, not investors chasing a quick resale.
How the process works
Getting started is simple. We sign an NDA, look at your contract mix and a few years of financials, and give you an honest read on value. If it fits, we make a written offer, confirm the details through a focused diligence period, and move toward a close on a timeline that works for you, often measured in weeks rather than the long, uncertain marketing cycle a broker listing puts you through.
We will take care of what you built
After close, your name and your reputation matter to us because we keep the business running under our own portfolio. We bring the systems, dispatching discipline, and a put-in-charge general manager that let the company grow without depending on any single person. Your supervisors gain a real career path, your accounts keep the service they trust, and the company you spent years building keeps its place in the Orlando market.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my commercial cleaning business worth in Orlando?
Most healthy commercial cleaning companies trade in a range of roughly 2.5x to 4x SDE (seller’s discretionary earnings). Contract stickiness, crew stability, account concentration, and margins move you within that band. It is a typical range, not a guarantee. We give you a specific, no-obligation read once we see your numbers.
Will this stay confidential?
Yes. We work under an NDA from the first real conversation, and nothing is shared with your employees, customers, or competitors until you are ready. Discretion protects your accounts and your people.
Are there any broker fees or commissions?
None. We are the buyer, not a broker. There is no listing fee and no commission taken out of your proceeds.
Can I stay involved after the sale?
If you want to. Some owners hand off cleanly in a few weeks; others stay on for a season to introduce accounts and mentor the team. We build the transition around what you prefer.
How long does a sale usually take?
From first call to close is often a matter of weeks once we have your financials, far quicker than a broker’s open-market listing. We move at the pace you are comfortable with.
What areas around Orlando do you buy in?
Across Orange County and the wider metro, including Winter Park, Kissimmee, Apopka, Sanford, Winter Garden, Lake Nona, and Altamonte Springs. If your routes run through Central Florida, we would like to talk.
