Investera Holdings is a Michigan family-operated company that buys and keeps running facility services businesses in Cincinnati and across Hamilton County. We are operators and buyers, not brokers and not a passive fund. When we acquire a company, we protect the customer relationships first, then add proven operating systems and a dedicated management layer so multi-service contracts, subcontractor coordination, and account management continue without the owner at the center of everything. Our own portfolio, which includes Optimal Facility Services and CT Cleaners, reflects exactly this kind of work. If you have built an integrated facility services company and are thinking about your next chapter, we would like a confidential conversation about a handoff that keeps your accounts and your name secure.
Why Cincinnati owners are thinking about selling now
Cincinnati is a natural market for bundled facility services because so much of its economy runs out of large, complex buildings and campuses. Fortune 500 headquarters like Procter & Gamble and Kroger downtown, GE Aerospace in Evendale, and the sprawling logistics and distribution footprint around West Chester, Sharonville, and the Amazon Air Hub at CVG all need janitorial, grounds, maintenance, and building support managed under one accountable partner. The region’s growth in warehousing and flex space along the I-75 and I-275 corridors has only deepened demand for a single provider who can keep facilities running smoothly across many sites.
But the operators who built these companies often did so by being everywhere at once, personally holding the client relationships, the subcontractor network, and the pricing knowledge in their head. As portfolios of accounts grow across the metro, that model becomes exhausting and fragile, and skilled account managers are hard to recruit. Recurring, multi-year facility contracts are genuinely valuable and sticky, which is why this is the right time for a buyer who leads with systems and a professional management layer to step in, stabilize the operation, and let a tired owner move on without putting years of client trust at risk.
Who we buy in the Cincinnati area
We are looking for established Cincinnati-area facility services companies with recurring contracts and a team that already delivers. You do not need perfect records or a formal sale process to reach out.
- Recurring or contract-based facility services revenue
- Roughly $500K+ in revenue or SDE (close is fine)
- Account managers or supervisors who run sites without you daily
- A solid local reputation and renewing clients
- An owner open to a clean handoff or a transition period
If your company fits the shape of that, it is worth a quiet conversation, even if you are just weighing your options. We move at your pace and keep it private.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees, ever. We buy directly, so you keep your proceeds instead of handing a slice to a broker for a transaction they did not build.
A confidential process end to end. Your staff, your clients, and your competitors are not told anything until you choose the timing.
Creative deal structures on your terms. A clean exit, a staged transition, or retained upside, we design the deal around your goals, not a fixed formula.
Operators, not a fund. We are a family that runs facility services companies ourselves, so our incentive is to keep your accounts, your people, and your reputation strong for the long haul.
How the process works
The process is clear and unhurried. It opens with a private conversation about your contracts, your service mix, your team, and what you want your future to look like. If there is mutual interest, we sign a mutual NDA and review the essentials, such as recurring revenue, account concentration, subcontractor relationships, and financials. Usually within a couple of weeks we can share an honest, non-binding valuation range. Because we buy directly rather than assembling a package for outside investors, we can close efficiently when you are ready and give you space when you are not. You will always understand the next step, and nothing is signed until you are comfortable.
We will take care of what you built
When Investera buys a Cincinnati facility services company, we are committing to run it for the long term, not to flip it. We install a dedicated general manager and put-in-charge systems for scheduling, quality assurance, vendor management, and client communication so the operation no longer hinges on the owner. That protects your multi-site clients through the transition and gives your account managers and field staff stability and room to grow. The relationships you built across the region’s corporate campuses and distribution centers stay intact, and the standards that won those contracts continue. Our goal is for clients to feel continuity, not change, only that the company keeps delivering reliably across every site.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my facility services business worth in Cincinnati?
Most healthy facility services businesses trade in a range of roughly 2.5x to 4x seller’s discretionary earnings (SDE). Where you fall depends on the share of recurring, contracted revenue, contract length, customer concentration, margins, and how independently the business runs from you. This is a typical range rather than a guarantee, and we will detail the specific numbers for your company once we know it.
Will my clients or staff find out before I decide?
No. We keep everything confidential behind a mutual NDA. Your account managers, field staff, clients, and competitors hear nothing until you choose to share it.
Do you take any broker fees or commissions?
No. We are the direct buyer, not a broker, so there is no listing fee and no commission deducted from your proceeds. You deal with the family that will run the business.
Can I remain involved after the sale?
Yes, if you want. Some owners prefer a clean handoff, and others stay through a transition or in a defined role to hand off major accounts. We shape it to fit you.
How long does the process usually take?
Many deals move from first call to closing within a couple of months, though every situation differs. We can move faster when you are ready or slow down when you need more time.
What areas around Cincinnati do you buy in?
We buy throughout Greater Cincinnati and Hamilton County, including Norwood, Blue Ash, Mason, West Chester, and Sharonville, along with downtown and the surrounding suburbs. If your accounts are in the metro, we would like to talk.
