If you own a commercial cleaning or janitorial company in Reno, you have spent years earning nightly access to the offices, casinos, medical buildings, and warehouses that keep the Biggest Little City running. Investera Holdings is a Michigan family-operated buyer that acquires that kind of business and keeps it operating under its own name, crews, and accounts. We are not a broker looking for a listing and not a passive fund parking money. We buy service companies, install strong systems and a dedicated general manager, and run them for the long term. If you want to sell your commercial cleaning business in Reno without watching it get flipped or stripped, this is a different kind of conversation.
Why Reno owners are thinking about selling now
Reno’s cleanable square footage has grown faster than almost anyone downtown expected. The old casino-and-tourism core, from the resorts along Virginia Street to the office towers near the Truckee River and the revitalized Midtown District, still needs nightly janitorial service. On top of that, a decade of diversification has layered on Class A office space in South Meadows, distribution and manufacturing floors stretching east toward the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center and Fernley, and a health-care footprint anchored by Renown and the University of Nevada, Reno. Every one of those buildings signs a recurring cleaning contract, and the owners who hold those contracts are quietly some of the most valuable small businesses in Washoe County.
At the same time, many of the people who built Reno’s janitorial companies through the 2000s and 2010s are now thinking about what comes next. Labor is harder to keep, insurance and supply costs have climbed, and the paperwork behind commercial accounts keeps growing. Selling into that environment usually means handing your keys to a broker who cares about the closing, not the crew. We think the owners who spent nights walking floors and training supervisors deserve a buyer who will keep the lights on, keep the accounts serviced, and let them step back on their own terms rather than sell the whole thing for parts.
Who we buy in the Reno area
We are a good fit for a specific kind of Reno janitorial owner, not everyone. If your company looks like the description below, a conversation with us is likely worth your time.
- Recurring or contract-based janitorial revenue, not one-off jobs
- Around $500K+ in revenue or SDE (close counts)
- A capable crew and at least one strong supervisor
- A solid, clean reputation with Reno-area building clients
- Owner open to a clean handoff or staying on for a while
If you recognize your business in most of those points, you are exactly who we built this process for. Even if one or two are not a perfect match, it is worth a short, private call to find out.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees. We buy directly from you, so there is no listing commission and no middleman skimming a percentage of your life’s work off the top of the deal.
A confidential process. Your supervisors, your building clients, and your competitors hear nothing unless and until you decide they should; discretion protects the accounts you have worked years to hold.
Creative deal structures. Cash at close, a seller note, an earn-out, or a period where you stay on payroll are all on the table so the terms fit your goals, not a template.
Operators, not a fund. We are a family that runs cleaning and facility companies every day, including CT Cleaners and Optimal Facility Services, so we understand crews, routes, and margins firsthand.
How the process works
Our process is built to respect your time and your privacy. It starts with a relaxed, confidential phone call 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 an NDA and look at a few years of financials and a customer list so we can put a real number in front of you rather than a vague range. From there we handle the diligence, the paperwork, and the transition planning ourselves, without dragging your team into a drawn-out auction. Because we are the actual buyer and not an intermediary shopping you around, most owners find the whole thing quieter and faster than they expected.
We will take care of what you built
When we buy a Reno cleaning company, the goal is continuity, not a teardown. We install proven scheduling, quality-control, and supervision systems and put a dedicated general manager in charge of daily operations, so the routes still get covered, the accounts still get serviced, and your name in the market still means something. Your supervisors and cleaners keep their jobs, your building clients keep the service they signed up for, and the reputation you built along Virginia Street, in Midtown, and out toward the industrial corridor carries forward. We measure success in decades of steady operation, not in a quick resale.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my commercial cleaning business worth in Reno?
Most healthy janitorial companies sell in a range of roughly 2.5x to 4x SDE (seller’s discretionary earnings). Where you land inside that range depends on how much of your revenue is recurring contracts, how strong your supervisors are, and how clean your books and reputation are. That is a typical range for context, not a guarantee, and we give you a specific number only after we see real financials.
Will you keep my conversations with you confidential?
Yes. Everything is private from the first call. We sign an NDA before reviewing any numbers, and your crew, your building clients, and your competitors learn nothing about a possible sale unless you choose to tell them.
Do you charge any fees or commissions?
No. We are the buyer, not a broker, so there is no listing fee and no commission taken out of your proceeds. You deal directly with the family that will own and run the business.
Can I stay involved after the sale?
If you want to. Some owners hand off cleanly over a few weeks; others stay on for months to introduce accounts and support the transition, sometimes on payroll. We build the arrangement around what you prefer.
How long does a sale usually take?
Once we see financials, a straightforward janitorial deal often moves from first call to close in a couple of months. We control the pace ourselves because there is no auction and no broker in the middle slowing things down.
What areas around Reno do you buy in?
We look at commercial cleaning companies across the greater Reno-Sparks region, including Sparks, Carson City, Sun Valley, Spanish Springs, and Fernley. If your accounts are anywhere in the Truckee Meadows area, we would like to talk.
