Investera Holdings is a Michigan family-operated company that buys and continues operating service businesses. We are not a broker and not a passive fund; we are hands-on owners. We acquire facility services companies in Aurora, install strong systems and a dedicated general manager, and run them for the long term. One of our own portfolio companies is Optimal Facility Services, alongside CT Cleaners, so integrated maintenance, vendor coordination, and multi-site scheduling are core to what we already do. If you run a facility services company across the Fox Valley with recurring contracts, we would like a quiet, respectful conversation.
Why Aurora owners are thinking about selling now
Aurora is built for facility services. As Illinois’s second-largest city, it carries an enormous stock of buildings that need ongoing upkeep: the distribution and logistics centers lining I-88 and Route 59, big-box and outlet retail anchored by Chicago Premium Outlets, the entertainment and hospitality draw of Hollywood Casino and the Paramount Theatre downtown, and dense multi-tenant commercial and institutional space. Facility services thrive on exactly this kind of demand, where property managers would rather hand one accountable partner the whole scope, from janitorial and floor care to grounds, minor repairs, and preventive maintenance, than juggle a dozen vendors.
This is a natural moment to consider a transition. Bundled facility contracts are valuable but operationally heavy, and many Aurora owners are personally holding together labor, subcontractors, and client escalations across multiple sites. Selling to a national platform usually means your accounts get folded in and your brand disappears. We keep the company running under its own name, retain your people, and add a professional management layer so the multi-site complexity does not rest on your shoulders alone. And with no broker in the deal, the value stays where it belongs, with the owner who built it.
Who we buy in the Aurora area
We are a focused buyer. The Aurora facility services companies we most want to talk to usually share these features:
- Recurring, contract-based revenue across commercial or institutional sites
- Roughly $500K or more in revenue or SDE (close is fine)
- A capable team and supervisors who can run sites without you
- A solid local reputation and low contract churn
- An owner open to a clean handoff or a transition role
Even if a decision is a year or two out, an early conversation lets us plan a handoff that protects your staff, your subcontractors, and your client relationships.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees. We buy directly, so no listing commission or success fee is skimmed from your proceeds; the value of your contract base stays with you.
A genuinely confidential process. Your team, your clients, and your competitors learn nothing until you are ready, because multi-site contracts hinge on quiet trust.
Creative deal structures. A clean exit, a staged transition, or retained upside can all be arranged; we build terms around your objectives.
Operators, not a fund. We run a facility services company ourselves and install a general manager so the business works without you, instead of flipping it or overloading it with debt.
How the process works
The process is simple and paced for comfort. We open with a short, confidential call about your contracts, sites, and team. If there is mutual interest, we sign an NDA and review basic financials and a redacted client list. We then bring a clear offer based on a typical earnings multiple, and if it works we move to a clean handoff on a timeline you control. You will always be dealing with the family and operators who will actually own the company, not a broker or a distant fund.
We will take care of what you built
Stewardship drives everything we do. When we acquire an Aurora facility services company, we keep the crews and supervisors, honor the service scopes clients rely on, and put a dedicated general manager over the sites so nothing slips when you step back. The property managers behind Aurora’s warehouses, retail centers, and downtown venues need continuity above all else, and delivering that continuity is exactly how we protect the recurring revenue we are buying. The reputation you built across the Fox Valley is the asset, and we plan to honor it.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my facility services business worth in Aurora?
Most healthy facility services companies trade for roughly 2.5 to 4 times seller’s discretionary earnings (SDE), with your position driven by contract length, site mix, margins, and retention. This is a typical range rather than a guarantee; we provide a specific, honest number after a short confidential review.
Will this stay confidential?
Yes. Nothing reaches your staff, clients, or competitors while we talk. We work under an NDA because multi-site facility contracts depend on relationships a leak could jeopardize.
Are there any broker fees or commissions?
No. We are the buyer, not a broker, so no commission or success fee comes out of your proceeds. It is true and straightforward.
Can I stay involved after the sale?
If you would like to. Some owners exit cleanly; others stay on to transition client relationships and site operations for a set period. We shape the role to fit you.
How long does a sale usually take?
Usually 30 to 90 days from a serious first conversation to close, depending on financials and your preferred timing. We move at your pace.
What areas around Aurora do you buy in?
We look across the Fox Valley, including Oswego, Montgomery, North Aurora, Batavia, and Sugar Grove, and the broader Kane County market.
