Large Fort Wayne campuses do not want five different vendors, they want one team that keeps the whole building running. If you have built a facility services company that bundles cleaning, maintenance, and grounds into dependable contracts, you have something valuable. Investera Holdings is a Michigan, family-operated company that acquires facility services businesses and keeps operating them. We are operators, not brokers and not a passive fund. When we buy, we install a dedicated general manager and strong systems so contracts, crews, and account relationships continue seamlessly without the owner in the middle of every request.
Why Fort Wayne owners are thinking about selling now
Fort Wayne is a facilities-heavy city, and that plays to your strengths. Sprawling employers like Parkview Health, Sweetwater Sound’s campus on US 30, Do it Best, and the region’s universities, Purdue University Fort Wayne, Indiana Tech, and the University of Saint Francis, all run large properties that benefit from integrated facility management rather than a patchwork of one-off vendors. The multi-tenant Electric Works campus and the growing office footprint downtown and in Aboite add more buildings that want a single accountable partner for janitorial, maintenance, and grounds under one contract.
The region’s industrial base deepens the demand. Warehouses and plants along the I-69 and US 30 corridors need soft services and light maintenance handled reliably, and northeast Indiana’s full four-season swing, snow and salt in winter, heat and storms in summer, means these buildings need attention year-round. Facility services owners who have assembled the crews, systems, and contracts to serve that market have built real equity. Selling to an operator who will keep the accounts intact and invest in the team is often a smarter move than dissolving the business or selling to a competitor who may gut it.
Who we buy in the Fort Wayne area
We are choosy about what we buy. We want a facility services business with sticky contracts and a team capable of delivering across trades.
- Recurring, contracted revenue across janitorial, maintenance, or grounds services
- Roughly $500K+ in annual revenue or owner earnings (SDE); close is acceptable
- A capable, cross-trained crew with supervisors who manage accounts
- A strong reputation among Fort Wayne facility and property managers
- An owner open to a clean handoff, or to staying on during the transition
If your company checks most of those boxes, we should probably connect, even if a sale is still on the horizon.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees. We acquire directly, so none of your proceeds go to a broker’s commission or a listing arrangement.
A confidential process. Your accounts, staff, and competitors learn nothing until you choose to tell them; our early discussions are strictly private.
Creative deal structures. Outright sale, staged transition, or a continued stake in the upside; we build terms around your goals rather than a one-size template.
Operators, not a fund. We are a family-run company that keeps and runs the businesses we buy, adds a management layer, and answers to no outside investors chasing a quick exit.
How the process works
It is a straightforward, private path. We open with a confidential conversation about your contracts, your service lines, and what you want from a sale. If both sides see a fit, we sign an NDA and review the essentials, revenue by service type, contract terms, and how your crews and supervisors are organized. We can usually provide a valuation range within a couple of weeks. There is no fee, no obligation, and nothing goes public unless we reach terms you are comfortable with.
We will take care of what you built
When we take over a facility services company, we operate it for the long term. A dedicated general manager comes in, and we reinforce the systems that hold multi-service contracts together, scheduling across trades, quality assurance, account communication, procurement, and payroll, so delivery no longer rests on the founder personally. Our own companies, CT Cleaners and Optimal Facility Services, are run on this same operator-first model. Crews keep working, clients keep their integrated service, and the business retains the name and reputation you earned across Allen County.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my facility services business worth in Fort Wayne?
Most healthy facility services companies sell in a range of about 2.5 to 4 times SDE (seller’s discretionary earnings). Where you fall depends on how much revenue is under contract, the diversity of your accounts, crew depth, and margins. That is a typical range, not a guarantee; we will explain how we would value your business once we understand the details.
How do you protect confidentiality?
We treat it as essential. A mutual NDA comes before any sensitive review, and your clients, staff, and competitors will not hear about a potential sale from us. You decide the timing of any announcement.
Will I owe any fees?
No. We are the buyer, not a broker, there are no commissions, no listing costs, and no charge to talk with us or receive a valuation range.
Can I stay on after the sale?
If that is what you want. Some owners exit cleanly; others stay to transition key accounts or keep a role in operations or business development. We tailor it to you.
What is the typical timeline?
Most deals move from first conversation to close in about 60 to 90 days, depending on how quickly we review the basics and settle terms. We can speed up or slow down to match your needs.
What areas around Fort Wayne do you buy in?
We look at facility services companies throughout Allen County and neighboring communities including New Haven, Huntertown, Auburn, Columbia City, and Roanoke. If you serve the greater Fort Wayne region, let’s talk.
