If you run a facility services company in Nashville and you are starting to think about what comes next, Investera Holdings would like to talk. We are a Michigan family-operated firm that acquires service businesses and keeps them running; not a broker after a listing, and not a passive fund writing checks from a distance. We come in as operators, put a dedicated general manager and real systems in place, and keep your workforce, your contracts, and your name intact. CT Cleaners and Optimal Facility Services are already part of our family, so integrated facility work is our home turf.
Why Nashville owners are thinking about selling now
Nashville has become a magnet for corporate campuses, and every one of them needs its facilities kept running. Oracle is building a massive campus on the East Bank, Amazon anchors Nashville Yards, and names like Bridgestone Americas, Asurion, AllianceBernstein, and Mitsubishi have planted major operations in the region. These tenants rarely want to manage janitorial, maintenance, HVAC coordination, grounds, and porter service through a dozen separate vendors; they want one accountable partner. Integrated facility services companies that can bundle those trades under a single contract are exactly what a growing corporate Nashville is hiring. The pipeline of office, healthcare, and industrial space across Davidson County keeps that demand climbing.
But running a multi-service facilities company is demanding, and many owners who built these operations are ready to think about succession. Coordinating crews across trades, holding on to skilled supervisors, and re-bidding large contracts takes a toll year after year. If your company carries recurring facility contracts, a supervisory layer that manages the day-to-day, and a reputation that wins renewals, you have built something genuinely valuable. Selling while your contracts are strong and Nashville’s corporate base is expanding is smarter than waiting for the cycle to turn. Investera can transact directly, without the cost and exposure of a broker running an open auction.
Who we buy in the Nashville area
We are looking for established Nashville facility services companies with recurring, multi-trade contracts and a supervisory team that already runs the accounts without the owner in the middle of every task.
- Recurring facility contracts across janitorial, maintenance, or grounds
- Roughly $500K+ in annual revenue or SDE (close is fine)
- A supervisory team that manages crews day to day
- A solid local reputation and contracts that renew
- An owner open to a clean handoff or staying on to transition
A polished operation is not a requirement. If your contracts recur, your supervisors keep the accounts humming, and clients trust your name, you are the kind of company we want to meet; we can sort out the details together.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees. We purchase directly, so no listing commission comes out of your proceeds and no middleman markets your company around the market.
A confidential process. Your supervisors, your clients, and your competitors learn nothing until you decide to move; our first conversations are private by default.
Creative deal structures. Cash at close, a seller note, an earnout keyed to contract retention, or a staged exit; we build terms around your goals instead of a template.
Operators, not a fund. We manage what we acquire for the long term, installing a general manager and systems rather than flipping the business or thinning the ranks.
How the process works
Our process is simple and quiet. We open with a confidential call about your contract portfolio, your team, and your plans. If there is mutual interest, we sign an NDA and review several years of financials along with your contract and client mix. We then present a clear offer and a transition roadmap, and we run diligence and closing with our own people. In most deals, your clients and crews stay focused on the work while the ownership change happens in the background.
We will take care of what you built
When we take over a facility services company, we manage it to last. A dedicated general manager and a put-in-charge team step in so scheduling, quality control, and client relationships run without depending on you. Your workforce keeps their roles across every trade, your clients keep the single-partner service they signed up for, and your name stays on the contracts. We put money into training, management software, and equipment because our returns come from the business performing well for many years, not from a quick resale.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my facility services business worth in Nashville?
Facility services companies generally sell for about 2.5 to 4 times SDE. Where you land depends on contract length and retention, the mix of trades you self-perform, supervisory depth, and margins. Treat that as a typical range rather than a guarantee, and we will get precise after reviewing your numbers together.
Will you keep this confidential?
Yes, confidentiality comes first. Under a mutual NDA, nothing reaches your clients, supervisors, or competitors until you choose to move forward. We keep the whole process quiet.
Do I have to pay any broker or advisor fees?
No fees. As the direct buyer, we charge no listing commission and no success fee. What we settle on together is what lands in your pocket at close.
Can I stay involved after the sale?
Entirely up to you. Some owners exit cleanly in weeks; others stay several months to introduce clients and coach the new general manager. We build the transition around your preference.
How long does a sale usually take?
Usually 60 to 90 days from the first call to closing, depending on financial readiness. We can move quicker when needed and will always let you set the pace.
What areas around Nashville do you buy in?
Throughout Davidson County and the wider region, including Franklin, Brentwood, Murfreesboro, Hendersonville, Mount Juliet, Smyrna, and Gallatin. If your contracts reach across Middle Tennessee, we are interested.
