Facility services is the connective tissue of every large building in Lansing: the day porters in the Capitol complex, the floor-care crews in medical office towers, the integrated maintenance teams keeping corporate campuses like Auto-Owners Insurance in Delta Township and the government and insurance offices downtown running from open to close. If you own a facility services company in the Lansing area and you are weighing an exit, Investera Holdings is a Michigan family-operated buyer that acquires and keeps operating businesses like yours. We are not a broker chasing a listing and not a passive fund; we buy, install real management, and run for the long term, the same way we operate CT Cleaners and Optimal Facility Services.
Why Lansing owners are thinking about selling now
Facility services demand in Lansing is broad and sticky because the customers are institutions that outsource whole scopes of building upkeep. A single state agency or a hospital system tied to Sparrow or McLaren might contract out janitorial, floor care, day porter, and light maintenance under one roof, and those bundled agreements renew year after year. Corporate campuses and property managers around Frandor, the downtown core, and the Delta Township corridor prize a vendor who can cover multiple services reliably. That kind of multi-service, contract-anchored revenue is durable, and it is exactly what makes a facility services company something we want to own and hold.
The strain on owners is just as real, though. Facility services is a coordination business: juggling labor across sites, scopes, and shifts, meeting service-level agreements, and staffing through Mid-Michigan winters when call-outs spike. As the book grows, the owner becomes the bottleneck for bidding, hiring, and every escalation. If you have assembled genuine multi-service contracts, site supervisors, and a name that building managers trust across Ingham County, but you are tired of being the person every account calls, an operator who will keep the business intact may be the exit that actually protects what you built.
Who we buy in the Lansing area
We are selective because we intend to own and operate every company we buy for years. For a Lansing facility services business, the profile we are looking for is:
- Recurring or contract revenue, meaning bundled or standing facility agreements across janitorial, floor care, day porter, and maintenance, not one-off project work.
- Roughly $500K or more in annual revenue or seller discretionary earnings; close and growing is worth a conversation.
- A capable team, with site supervisors and account managers who run day-to-day operations without the owner on every site.
- A solid local reputation across the Lansing region, shown by retained multi-service accounts and references from building and property managers.
- An owner open to a clean handoff, whether a full exit after transition or a defined role staying on to hold key accounts.
If that lines up with your company, the next step is a private talk about fit and price. If one piece is missing, reach out anyway; a strong bundled-contract base or a capable supervisor layer can make up for a lot, and we would rather hear about a good Lansing operation early.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees. We are the buyer, not an intermediary, so there is no listing commission and no success fee subtracted from your proceeds; the agreed price is what reaches you.
A confidential process. Your building-manager accounts, your competitors, and your staff hear nothing until you decide otherwise; every early conversation happens under NDA, directly with our family.
Creative deal structures. A clean cash sale, a seller note, an earnout tied to account retention, or a staged transition; we shape the terms around your goals rather than a fixed formula.
Operators, not a fund. We are not raising outside capital to resell your company; we install a general manager, keep your name and your crews, and run the business as owner-operators for the long haul.
How the process works
It begins with a single confidential conversation about your book: the scopes you cover, your site mix, and what a good exit looks like, with no listing agreement and no obligation. If there is a fit, we sign an NDA and review a few years of financials along with a contract and site summary, then bring you a real offer expressed as a range tied to your seller discretionary earnings. We agree on structure, complete straightforward due diligence, and build a transition plan that keeps every site staffed and every service-level agreement met. Deals in this size range generally close within a couple of months of the first call.
We will take care of what you built
Once we own the company, a dedicated general manager and management layer step in so nothing slips at the site level. Supervisors keep their sites, accounts keep their service, and escalations still get answered. We invest in the systems that make multi-service companies scale: labor scheduling across sites, quality and service-level tracking, hiring pipelines, and equipment. Your standing with Lansing building and property managers is central to the value we are buying, so we guard it. The aim is seamless continuity for your accounts and your people.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my facility services business worth in Lansing?
Most well-run facility services companies sell for roughly 2.5 to 4 times seller discretionary earnings, with the multiple driven by contract quality, the mix of bundled multi-service accounts, and how independently the business runs. That is a typical range, not a guarantee; we look at your real financials, account retention, and scope mix before committing to a figure. Strong bundled contracts and a capable supervisor layer move you toward the top of the range.
Will my accounts and staff find out I am considering a sale?
No. It all begins under NDA and stays between you and our family. We do not approach your building-manager accounts, competitors, or employees, and nothing goes public until you are ready and the deal is closed. Confidentiality is how we protect what your company is worth.
Do you charge any broker fees?
No. Because we are the buyer and not a broker or intermediary, there is no listing commission and no success fee taken from your proceeds. The number we agree on is the number you receive.
Can I stay involved after selling?
Whatever suits you. Some owners want a clean break after transition; others stay on to hold major accounts or fill a defined role for a while. Since we install our own general manager, you are free to hand off as much or as little as you like.
How long does a sale take?
For a company this size, a straightforward deal usually closes within a couple of months of the first conversation. It moves faster when your financials and contract list are in order, and we work at a pace that suits you.
What areas around Lansing do you buy in?
We buy throughout Greater Lansing and Ingham County, including East Lansing, Okemos, Holt, Mason, Delta Township, and DeWitt. If your sites span the tri-county area, that breadth is an advantage, not an obstacle.
