Investera Holdings is a Michigan family-operated company that buys commercial cleaning and janitorial businesses in Troy and keeps them running. We are not a broker and we are not a passive fund. We are operators who acquire one company at a time, install strong systems and a professional management layer, and hold for the long term. If you have spent years building nightly janitorial routes across Troy’s office parks and you are starting to think about what comes next, we would like to have a quiet, no-pressure conversation about buying the business you built.
Why Troy owners are thinking about selling now
Troy sits at the center of Oakland County’s office economy, and that is exactly what makes a well-run janitorial company here so durable. The Big Beaver corridor, often called the Golden Corridor, is lined with Class A towers, corporate headquarters like Kelly Services, Flagstar and Altair Engineering, and the retail anchor of the Somerset Collection. Add Corewell Health Beaumont Troy Hospital, the dense cluster of automotive supplier offices along I-75, and Troy’s medical and financial tenants, and you have thousands of square feet that must be cleaned every single night. Recurring janitorial contracts tied to that base of buildings are the kind of steady, contract-driven revenue we are looking to own.
Timing also matters. Many of Troy’s established cleaning-company owners started their routes decades ago and are now weighing retirement, while labor is harder to recruit and retain than it used to be. Michigan winters make it worse: road salt, snowmelt and slush get tracked across lobbies from November through March, driving demand for floor care, matting programs and detailed nightly service that owners must manage personally. If you are tired of being the person who covers the callout at 9 p.m., selling to an operator who will keep your accounts and your crew intact may be the cleanest path forward.
Who we buy in the Troy area
We are selective, and we would rather be honest about fit than waste your time. The Troy janitorial companies that fit us best share a few traits.
- Recurring, contract-based janitorial revenue
- Roughly $500K+ in annual revenue or SDE (close is fine)
- A capable crew and at least one dependable supervisor
- A solid local reputation across Troy accounts
- An owner open to a clean handoff or a short stay-on
If your company is close but not a perfect match on every line, reach out anyway. Some of the best conversations start with an owner who is simply curious about what a sale could look like.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees. We buy directly, so there is no listing commission, no success fee, and no middleman skimming a percentage off the top of your life’s work.
A confidential process. Your customers, your crew and your competitors along Big Beaver never need to know we are talking until you decide the time is right.
Creative deal structures. Cash at close, a seller note, or an earnout tied to contract retention, we shape the deal around your goals rather than forcing you into one template.
Operators, not a fund. We are a hands-on family business that runs companies like CT Cleaners and Optimal Facility Services, not financiers looking to flip your accounts.
How the process works
Our process is deliberately simple and quiet. It starts with a confidential phone call to understand your business and what you want out of a sale. If there is mutual interest, we sign a mutual NDA and review a few basics: your contract list, revenue history and staffing. From there we make a straightforward verbal offer, and only after we agree on the shape of a deal do we move into light diligence and paperwork. Because we are the actual buyer and decision-maker, you are never waiting on a distant investment committee, and you always know exactly who you are dealing with.
We will take care of what you built
When we buy a Troy cleaning company, we buy it to keep it running, not to strip it. Your name and reputation in the local market are assets we protect, not liabilities we discard. We keep the crew employed, honor the service standards your customers expect, and add a dedicated general manager plus back-office systems so the business no longer depends on the owner working nights. That professional management layer is the whole point: it lets your accounts stay served, your people stay employed, and the company you built keep serving Troy long after you have stepped back.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my commercial cleaning business worth in Troy?
Most healthy, contract-based janitorial companies trade in a range of roughly 2.5 to 4 times SDE (seller’s discretionary earnings). Where you land depends on contract mix, customer concentration, margins and how well the business runs without you. That range is a typical guide, not a guarantee, and we will walk you through the math openly once we understand your numbers.
Will you keep this confidential?
Yes. Confidentiality is central to how we work. We sign a mutual NDA before reviewing anything sensitive, and we never contact your customers, crew or competitors without your permission. Nothing becomes public until you are ready.
Do you charge any fees or commissions?
No. Because we are the direct buyer and not a broker, there are no listing fees, no commissions and no success fees. You keep the full value of the deal we agree on.
Can I stay involved after the sale?
You can, but you do not have to. Some owners want a clean exit; others prefer to stay on for a transition or a defined role. We are flexible and will structure the handoff around what works for you and your team.
How long does a sale usually take?
From first conversation to close is often a few months, depending on your readiness and the complexity of your contracts. We can move quickly when you are prepared, and we never rush you into a timeline that does not fit.
What areas around Troy do you buy in?
We focus on Troy and the surrounding Oakland and Macomb County communities, including Rochester Hills, Clawson, Royal Oak, Birmingham and Sterling Heights. If your routes reach into nearby towns, that is not a problem.
