Investera Holdings is a Michigan family-operated company that buys facility services businesses in Arlington, Virginia and keeps them running under strong local management. We are hands-on operators and long-term owners, not brokers and not a passive fund chasing a quick exit. Once we acquire a company, we build in reliable operating systems and a dedicated management layer, so the business continues to deliver after the founder steps away from daily oversight. Our portfolio companies, CT Cleaners and Optimal Facility Services, mean we understand multi-service contracts, building engineering, and account retention firsthand.
Why Arlington owners are thinking about selling now
Arlington is one of the densest, most institution-heavy square-mile counties in the country, and that makes integrated facility services a serious business. Between the Pentagon, Amazon’s HQ2 in National Landing, Boeing and Nestle’s regional presence, Virginia Hospital Center, Marymount University, George Mason’s Mason Square, and the office towers stacked along the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor, property owners want one partner who can handle janitorial, maintenance, grounds, and general upkeep under a single contract. Large landlords like JBG Smith prize vendors who show up and perform. A facility services company with those relationships holds something genuinely hard to replicate.
Yet many founders who assembled these bundled-service operations are ready to move on. Recruiting and keeping frontline staff is harder every year, compliance and insurance demands keep growing, and running a multi-line operation single-handedly wears on you. A sale to a distant conglomerate often means squeezed margins and a diluted brand. We provide a calmer alternative: a confidential sale to owners who will keep your teams, honor your building contracts, and safeguard the trust you earned across Arlington’s commercial and institutional properties.
Who we buy in the Arlington area
We are seeking one well-run facility services company in the Arlington area to own for the long term. The profile we look for is simple:
- Recurring or contract-based facility service revenue
- Roughly $500K+ in annual revenue or SDE (close is fine)
- A capable operations team and reliable frontline staff
- A solid reputation with Arlington building owners
- An owner open to a clean handoff or staying on a while
If that matches your company, let’s talk. Everything you share stays confidential, and there is no obligation on either side. Owners who are still a year or two out often find it clarifying to see what a straightforward, broker-free exit could look like.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees. You sell to us directly, so no listing commission or intermediary is taking a cut of your proceeds at closing.
A confidential process. Your staff, building clients, and competitors around National Landing and Ballston learn nothing until you are ready to share it.
Creative deal structures. We shape terms around you, whether that means more cash upfront, a seller note, a transition window, or a partial rollover of equity.
Operators, not a fund. We run facility service companies ourselves and plan to grow your contracts and keep your people, not resell the business quickly.
How the process works
The path forward is deliberately uncomplicated. We start with a private conversation about your operation, your team, and what you want after a sale. If there is mutual interest, we sign an NDA and review the core details: revenue, contracts, staffing, and service lines. We then present a clear, no-obligation offer and explain exactly how we valued the company. If you choose to proceed, we handle diligence and legal steps efficiently while keeping the circle small, so nothing circulates among Arlington property managers before you are ready. Most sellers find it far less disruptive than a broker-led marketing process.
We will take care of what you built
When we buy a facility services company, we run it through a general manager and a put-in-charge team, so it stops depending on the founder to coordinate every crew and contract. That management layer, combined with strong scheduling, quality, and account-management systems, is how the business runs without you while your reputation stays strong. We keep frontline staff employed, honor building contracts, and invest in training and supervision. Clients from Crystal City to Courthouse continue to receive the same dependable, multi-service coverage, now supported by deeper structure.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my facility services business worth in Arlington?
Most healthy facility services companies in the Arlington area trade for roughly 2.5 to 4 times SDE (seller’s discretionary earnings). Where you fall depends on how much revenue is under contract, the strength of your operations team, customer concentration, and how well the business runs without you. That is a typical range, not a guarantee, and we will explain the math clearly.
Will everything stay confidential?
Yes. We keep every discussion private, sign a mutual NDA before looking at figures, and share nothing with your staff, clients, or competitors until you decide to make it known.
Do you charge any broker or listing fees?
No. We are the buyer, not a broker, so there is no commission or success fee deducted from your proceeds. A conversation with us costs nothing.
Can I stay on after the sale?
If you want to. Some owners help through a transition, some consult on key accounts, and others step away entirely. Because we install a general manager and management team, ongoing involvement is your choice.
How long does a typical deal take?
It depends on the company, but a focused sale often goes from first call to closing within a couple of months. We can move faster or slower to fit your plans, with no pressure to rush.
What areas around Arlington do you buy in?
We look across the region, including Alexandria, Falls Church, McLean, Fairfax, and Washington, DC, in addition to Arlington. If you serve Northern Virginia and the greater DC market, we would like to hear from you.
