Investera Holdings is a Michigan family that buys and keeps running facility services companies in Allentown and across Lehigh County. We are not a broker and not a passive fund — we are operator-buyers who put strong systems and a dedicated management layer behind the business so it delivers for clients without leaning on the owner every day. One of our own portfolio companies, Optimal Facility Services, is a facility-services operation, so we know this work first-hand: the recurring contracts, the multi-site coordination, and the trust a building manager places in a reliable vendor. If you’ve built a facility services company here, we’d value a conversation.
Why Allentown owners are thinking about selling now
Few places illustrate the demand for facility services better than the Lehigh Valley. The warehouse and logistics boom along Route 22, I-78, and Airport Road has filled the region with enormous distribution centers, and every one of them needs ongoing facility support — janitorial, day porters, floor care, grounds, minor maintenance, and more, often bundled under a single recurring contract. That kind of multi-service, contract-based revenue is exactly what makes a facility services company durable and genuinely worth acquiring.
Downtown, the Neighborhood Improvement Zone has added Class A office towers, hotels, and the PPL Center arena along Hamilton Street, while Lehigh Valley Health Network and St. Luke’s operate major campuses that outsource facility support year-round. Allentown’s four-season climate — snow and ice in winter, humid summers — keeps the scope of work steady and varied. Many owners who assembled the crews and contracts serving these accounts are approaching retirement. Selling while your agreements are renewing and your teams are in place captures the value you built rather than letting it erode.
Who we buy in the Allentown area
We are looking for established Allentown-area facility services companies with recurring contract revenue and a team that already runs the accounts.
- Recurring or contracted facility services revenue
- Roughly $500K+ in annual revenue or SDE (close counts)
- A capable crew and site supervisors already in place
- A solid local reputation across Lehigh Valley properties
- Owner open to a clean handoff or staying on short-term
If that sounds like your business, a confidential conversation is worthwhile — even if a sale is still somewhere over the horizon for you.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees. We purchase directly, so there is no listing commission and no success fee carved out of your proceeds at closing.
A confidential process. Your company name, your crews, and your client roster remain private from the first call through the day we close.
Creative deal structures. We can build the terms — cash at close, a seller note, an earnout, or a phased transition — around what you and your family need most.
Operators, not a fund. We run what we buy as our own; there is no fund mandate or investment committee positioning your company for a quick resale.
How the process works
We keep everything low-key and straightforward. It opens with a call to learn about your company, your contract mix, and your goals for a sale. If there’s a fit, we sign mutual confidentiality and review your financials and account structure at a high level. We then present a clear valuation range and a proposed deal, and we work through diligence on your schedule. There’s no auction, no stream of buyers touring your accounts, and no pressure to move before you’re ready.
We will take care of what you built
When we acquire a facility services company, we keep the name your clients rely on, we keep your crews and supervisors employed, and we uphold the service standards that won those contracts. We reinforce the operation with systems — scheduling, quality assurance, supplies and equipment, and a put-in-charge general manager — so it no longer depends on the owner personally holding everything together. Continuity for your people and your clients is the objective, not upheaval. That is the promise behind how we take stewardship of a business.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my facility services business worth in Allentown?
Most healthy facility services companies trade in a range of roughly 2.5x to 4x SDE (seller’s discretionary earnings). Where you land depends on how much revenue is recurring and contracted, customer concentration, crew stability, and how well the business runs without daily owner involvement. It’s a typical range, not a guarantee — we give you a real number after a confidential look at your financials.
Will this stay confidential?
Yes. We sign a mutual confidentiality agreement early and keep your company name, employees, and client relationships private throughout. Your teams and clients learn nothing until you decide the timing is right.
Are there any broker fees or commissions?
No. We’re the buyer, not a broker, so no commission and no success fee come out of your proceeds. Selling directly to an operator keeps that money with you.
Can I stay involved after the sale?
You can. Many owners stay on for a transition to hand off client relationships and steady the team; others want a clean exit. We shape the handoff around your preference.
How long does a sale typically take?
Once we agree on the basics, a clean deal often closes in about 60 to 90 days. It can move quicker or take longer depending on your financials and transition plan.
What areas around Allentown do you buy in?
We look across Lehigh County and the broader Lehigh Valley — including Bethlehem, Easton, Whitehall, Emmaus, and Macungie — plus the surrounding townships that Allentown-based facility services companies serve.
