If you own a facility services company in Atlanta and have started to picture life beyond it, Investera Holdings would welcome a conversation. We are a Michigan family-operated firm that buys service businesses and keeps running them; we are not a broker seeking a listing, and we are not a passive fund waiting to flip an asset. We acquire companies, place a dedicated general manager and proven systems over them, and operate them for the long term. One of our own businesses is literally named Optimal Facility Services, alongside CT Cleaners, so integrated facility management, blended crews, work orders, and multi-service client relationships are the world we live in every day. Atlanta’s sprawling base of corporate campuses, medical complexes, and logistics facilities needs partners who can keep buildings running, and we intend to be a durable home for a company that already does.
Why Atlanta owners are thinking about selling now
Atlanta is one of the great facility-heavy markets in the country. The Central Perimeter around Dunwoody and Sandy Springs, the Cumberland and Galleria office cluster, and Downtown and Midtown together hold millions of square feet of corporate space tied to anchors like UPS, Cox Enterprises, Home Depot, and a widening roster of relocated headquarters. Beyond the towers, the warehouse and distribution belts along I-85, I-75, and I-20, the film studios that made the region a production capital, and the ever-busy Hartsfield-Jackson airport ecosystem all rely on bundled facility services, from janitorial and grounds to light maintenance and portering. That breadth is what makes a well-run facility services company here so resilient; its revenue rarely rests on a single building or a single trade.
For owners, that strength is precisely why now is a smart time to think ahead. Coordinating multiple service lines, subcontractors, and account managers across a metro this large is demanding work, and labor competition only sharpens the challenge. If you have assembled recurring, multi-service contracts and a reputation Atlanta property and portfolio managers trust, that value is tangible today. Selling while your agreements are renewing and your operation is humming protects your team and your clients far more than holding on until fatigue forces a rushed decision. A confidential conversation now costs nothing and keeps every door open.
Who we buy in the Atlanta area
We fit a particular kind of Atlanta facility services company; one that runs on contracts, account managers, and systems rather than on the owner personally holding every relationship together.
- Recurring, multi-service facility contracts and repeat accounts
- Roughly $500K+ in annual revenue or SDE (close counts)
- A capable team of supervisors and account managers in place
- A solid reputation with Atlanta property and portfolio managers
- An owner open to a clean handoff or a supported transition
If that mirrors your company, you are exactly the kind of owner Investera exists to serve. And if you are a bit under on revenue but strong on contracts and standing, reach out regardless; we would rather understand the full picture than dismiss you over one figure.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees. We buy directly, so there is no listing commission drawn from your proceeds and no intermediary wedged between us and you.
A confidential process. Your account managers, clients, and competitors hear nothing until you decide the moment is right to share it.
Creative deal structures. Cash at close, a seller note, an earnout tied to the contract book, or a phased handoff; we design terms around your goals.
Operators, not a fund. We run the businesses we buy, adding a general manager and systems so the company keeps serving Atlanta buildings for the long haul.
How the process works
Our approach is simple and free of pressure. It opens with a confidential call to learn about your company, your service lines, and what you want your next stage to look like. If there is mutual interest, we sign an NDA and review a light set of financials to build a fair, honest valuation range. From there we deliver a written offer, walk through diligence together at a sensible pace, and set a closing timeline that keeps your contracts and crews undisturbed. Because we are both buyer and operator, you work with the same people from the opening call through closing; no committees, no handoffs to people you have never met.
We will take care of what you built
Stewardship drives everything we do. When we acquire an Atlanta facility services company, we retain the crews and account managers, honor the client relationships, and layer in professional management so service standards hold across every building without depending on you. Your supervisors gain support, your clients keep the continuity they count on, and the reputation you built endures throughout Fulton County. This is not a strip-and-resell play; it is a long-term addition to a portfolio we operate ourselves, the way we run Optimal Facility Services and CT Cleaners today.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my facility services business worth in Atlanta?
Most healthy facility services companies sell in a range of roughly 2.5x to 4x SDE (seller’s discretionary earnings), with your mix of recurring multi-service contracts, client concentration, team depth, and margins determining where you fall. That is a typical range rather than a guarantee; after a confidential review of your numbers we can discuss a specific figure.
Is the process kept confidential?
Yes. We sign an NDA early, and your account managers, clients, and competitors learn nothing about a possible sale unless you choose to tell them. Nothing is announced without your consent.
Do you charge broker or advisory fees?
No. We are the direct buyer, not a broker, so no commission or advisory fee is deducted from your proceeds. The agreed price is what you receive at close.
Can I remain involved afterward?
If you would like to, yes. Some owners prefer a clean exit over a few weeks; others stay for a season to introduce accounts and mentor the incoming general manager. We tailor the transition to you.
What is the typical timeline?
Generally 30 to 90 days from the first real conversation to close, depending on company size and how organized the financials are. We can move quicker or slower to suit your needs.
What areas around Atlanta do you buy in?
We operate across metro Atlanta and Fulton County, including Sandy Springs, Marietta, Decatur, Alpharetta, Roswell, Smyrna, and Buckhead. If your contracts sit anywhere in that footprint, we would be glad to talk.
