A facility services company is a promise to keep buildings running so the people inside them never have to think about it — cleaning, maintenance, grounds, and everything in between, bundled under one accountable phone number. You built that reliability in Harrisburg. Investera Holdings is a Michigan family-operated buyer that acquires facility services companies and keeps operating them, not a broker taking a listing or a fund chasing a flip. When we buy, we bring strong systems and a dedicated general manager so your contracts stay covered and your crews keep their work long after you hand over the keys.
Why Harrisburg owners are thinking about selling now
Harrisburg is built for integrated facility services because so much of its square footage is institutional and never closes. As the seat of Pennsylvania’s government, the city carries the Capitol Complex, a dense cluster of state office buildings, and Dauphin County’s courthouses and administrative offices — the kind of large, multi-trade accounts that reward a contractor who can self-perform janitorial, minor maintenance, and grounds under a single contract. The health systems anchored by UPMC Harrisburg and Penn State Health, plus the region’s universities and the sprawling Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex, deepen a base of recurring, specification-driven work that is hard to replicate and slow to churn.
Then there is the logistics boom. The convergence of I-81, I-83, and the Turnpike has made the Harrisburg region one of the country’s fastest-growing warehouse markets, and those millions of square feet along the Cameron Street corridor and out toward the airport need bundled cleaning, maintenance, and outside upkeep year-round. Four hard seasons keep the scope full: snow and ice management in winter, grounds and landscaping in the warm months, and interior care all year. For an owner who assembled a real book of integrated contracts, this is a market where that book is genuinely valuable — and worth talking about with a buyer who runs facilities for a living.
Who we buy in the Harrisburg area
We are selective on purpose. Investera looks for Harrisburg-area facility services firms with recurring, multi-service contracts and a management bench that can run the accounts without the owner in the middle of every one.
- Recurring, contract-based facility revenue
- About $500K+ in revenue or SDE (close is fine)
- Site managers and crews who operate independently
- A strong reputation with Capital Region accounts
- An owner ready for a clean handoff or a phased role
If you fit most of this and not all of it, reach out anyway — we would rather understand your contract mix and your best sites than eliminate you on a checklist.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees. We purchase directly, so no listing commission or success fee is carved out of your proceeds — it is our family and yours at the table.
A confidential process. Your account managers, your crews, and rival contractors learn nothing until you decide the moment is right.
Creative deal structures. Cash at close, a seller note, an earnout, or a staged transition — we build terms around what you and your family need.
Operators, not a fund. We run what we buy; CT Cleaners and Optimal Facility Services show we keep teams employed and contracts served rather than flipping the asset.
How the process works
Our process is quiet and respectful of your time. It opens with one confidential call, then a financial exchange under NDA — usually a few years of profit-and-loss along with your contract roster and service breakdown. We come back with an honest indication of value and, when it fits, a clean letter of intent. We run our own diligence and fund our own deals, so your numbers are never shopped around and no lender’s committee holds the timeline hostage. Most owners are struck by how contained the whole thing stays.
We will take care of what you built
The part owners care about most is what comes after. We install a professional management layer — a dedicated general manager plus documented systems for scheduling, quality assurance, work orders, and billing — so the company runs on process rather than on you. Site managers keep their roles, crews keep their assignments, and the people who know each building keep those relationships steady. The reputation you built for answering the call and getting it handled carries forward; that goodwill is precisely what we are buying and intend to protect.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my facility services business worth in Harrisburg?
Most healthy facility services companies trade around 2.5x to 4x SDE, with the multiple driven by contract stickiness, service mix, margins, and how well the business runs without the owner. Treat that as a typical range, not a guarantee — the real number comes from reviewing your books together, confidentially.
Is the process confidential?
Yes. We sign an NDA before reviewing any financials, and nothing reaches your staff, your accounts, or your competitors until you are ready to share it. Discretion protects the value we are buying.
Will I owe broker fees?
No. Because we are the buyer, not a broker, there is no commission or success fee. The agreed price is yours, less only your own advisors’ costs.
Can I stay involved afterward?
If you’d like to. Some owners exit fully within a couple of months; others stay on for a season to introduce accounts and steady the new general manager. We shape the transition to you.
What’s the typical timeline?
A focused deal generally runs about 30 to 60 days from our first real conversation to closing, depending on how quickly financials come together and the structure we settle on.
What areas around Harrisburg do you buy in?
The entire Capital Region — Harrisburg and Dauphin County plus Hershey, Hummelstown, Mechanicsburg, Camp Hill, and Carlisle. If your contracts cover the Harrisburg market, we want to hear from you.
