Investera Holdings is a family-operated buyer, based in Michigan, that acquires facility services companies in Frederick, Maryland, and keeps them operating. We are not brokers and we are not a passive fund; we are hands-on operators who buy a business, layer in disciplined systems and a dedicated management team, and let it run without depending on the founder. CT Cleaners and Optimal Facility Services are our own companies, and they are how we prove we keep what we buy.
Why Frederick owners are thinking about selling now
Facility services, the bundle of janitorial, maintenance, grounds, and porter work that keeps buildings functioning, is deeply woven into Frederick’s economy. The life-sciences campuses tied to Fort Detrick and the Frederick National Laboratory, the office parks along the I-270 corridor, Frederick Health’s facilities, the Francis Scott Key Mall and Golden Mile retail, and a growing roster of institutional and government buildings all outsource this work under multi-year contracts. For an owner with the right contracts and crews, that is durable, recurring revenue.
Frederick’s growth and its climate both feed the pipeline. As Maryland’s fastest-growing county adds commercial and mixed-use space around Urbana, New Market, and Ballenger Creek, more facilities want a single vendor to handle the whole building. And the seasons keep the scope full year-round: winter snow and salt management, spring and summer grounds and pressure-washing, fall leaf and gutter work, and constant interior upkeep. A facility services company that can bundle these into one dependable contract is well positioned. If that’s your business, it’s a good moment to talk.
Who we buy in the Frederick area
We’re a match for a certain kind of Frederick facility services company, one built on contracts and a team that already delivers without the owner on site.
- Multi-year or recurring facility contracts
- About $500K or more in revenue or SDE (close counts)
- Supervisors and crews who can run accounts independently
- A strong track record with Frederick-area property and facility managers
- An owner willing to hand off cleanly or stay on briefly
If that’s a fair picture of your company, a low-key conversation could be well worth it, even years ahead of any decision.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees. We’re the buyer, not a middleman, so no commission or success fee is deducted from your proceeds.
A confidential process. Your crews, clients, and competing vendors stay in the dark until you decide otherwise.
Creative deal structures. Cash at close, seller financing, earnouts, or a stay-on package; we tailor terms to your situation.
Operators, not a fund. We’re a family that runs facility services companies, not a fund shopping for a quick flip.
How the process works
The process is designed to be easy and discreet. We start with a confidential conversation about your contracts, service lines, and crews. When it looks like a fit, we sign an NDA and review the essentials: revenue, contract terms, and seller’s discretionary earnings. We then bring you a clear offer, agree on the terms together, and complete a short due-diligence and transition window. Throughout, you keep servicing accounts as normal while the details are handled quietly.
We will take care of what you built
Once the deal closes, we retain your crews and supervisors, honor every contract, and install a dedicated general manager and the operating systems that keep multi-building accounts running smoothly after you step away. The credibility you’ve built with facility managers across Frederick, from downtown offices near Carroll Creek to campuses along the corridor, is a core asset we safeguard, not something we let slip.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my facility services business worth in Frederick?
Most healthy facility services companies sell for about 2.5 to 4 times SDE (seller’s discretionary earnings). Where you land depends on how much revenue is under contract, how independently your crews run, and how clean your books are. It’s a genuine range, not a guarantee; we give you a real figure after a private look at your numbers.
Will my clients and crews know before I’m ready?
No. Confidentiality is central to how we work. No client, employee, or competing vendor is told anything until you’re ready and the deal is complete.
Are there any broker or advisor fees?
None. Because we buy directly, there’s no listing commission and no success fee coming out of what you receive.
Can I stay on after selling?
Absolutely, if you’d like to. Some owners stay a few months to smooth the transition; others want a clean break. The choice is yours.
How long does the whole thing take?
Typically a few months from the first call to closing, depending on how fast we can review numbers and align on terms. We keep pace with you.
What areas around Frederick do you buy in?
We consider facility services companies throughout Frederick County, including Urbana, Walkersville, Middletown, Mount Airy, and New Market and the nearby communities.
