You built a facility services company that keeps New York’s buildings functioning day and night, and now you are thinking about the next chapter. Investera Holdings is a Michigan family-operated buyer that acquires facility services businesses in New York, NY and keeps them running. We are not a broker and not a passive fund. We buy to operate: we bring proven systems and a dedicated general manager so the company runs without the owner in the middle of every account, your team keeps its work, and you get an honest, clean exit.
Why New York owners are thinking about selling now
New York County is wall-to-wall with buildings that require constant, coordinated upkeep, which is exactly what a facility services company delivers. Managing agents overseeing Midtown office portfolios, Financial District towers, Hudson Yards developments, and Upper East Side residential complexes want a single dependable partner for janitorial, handyman, porter, and maintenance coverage rather than juggling a dozen vendors. Institutions from major hospitals to universities to cultural landmarks run on bundled recurring contracts. A company that already holds those integrated agreements owns something valuable and hard to displace in a market where trust and track record decide who keeps the keys.
The timing works in an owner’s favor. Local Law 97 and the broader push on building performance are making managing agents lean harder on facility partners who can document work, manage energy-related tasks, and keep aging systems running clean, which raises the value of a proven operator. Yet the daily reality of running one of these companies here is heavy: round-the-clock coverage, a tight labor pool, complex insurance and compliance, and the constant pressure of never letting a building down. Many founders who have carried that load for years are ready to pass it to an operator who will protect their people and their accounts instead of gutting them.
Who we buy in the New York area
We are seeking one strong facility services company in the New York area with recurring contracts and a team that already runs well. We come in as owners and operators, not as passive check-writers.
- Recurring or contract facility revenue across buildings
- Roughly $500K+ in revenue or SDE (close is fine)
- A capable team and a dependable operations lead
- A solid reputation with NYC managing agents and owners
- Owner open to a clean handoff or staying on short-term
Your company does not need flawless books or national scale. What we care about are sticky accounts, a crew worth keeping, and an owner ready for a straightforward, respectful conversation.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees, ever. We buy directly, so there is no commission carved out of your proceeds and no marketplace shopping your company around.
A confidential process. Your staff, your managing agents, and your competitors learn nothing until you choose the moment, because a premature leak can rattle the accounts we are both trying to protect.
Creative deal structures. Clean full exit, seller note, or a phased earn-out as you transition relationships, we build the terms around your goals, not a template.
Operators, not a fund. We are a family that owns and runs service businesses for the long term, not investors on a five-year timer, so your standards and your name endure.
How the process works
Our approach is simple and easy on your schedule. We begin with a private call to understand your contracts, your team, and what you want after a sale. If there is a fit, we sign a mutual NDA and review basic financials together, then give you a clear, honest read on value and structure rather than an artificially low anchor. Next comes a written offer, focused diligence on your agreements and staffing, and a closing timeline that suits you. You set the pace from start to finish.
We will take care of what you built
When we acquire a facility services company, our first move is to make it run better without depending on the founder. We put a dedicated general manager and real operating systems in place for scheduling, work-order tracking, quality control, and client communication, so every building stays covered and every account stays confident. This is precisely how we run Optimal Facility Services and CT Cleaners in our own portfolio. Your supervisors get genuine support and a path forward, your managing agents keep the reliability they signed up for, and the reputation you built across New York stays strong.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my facility services business worth in New York?
Owner-operated facility services companies typically sell for roughly 2.5 to 4 times SDE (seller’s discretionary earnings), with your contract mix, retention, margins, and team depth deciding where you land. It is a typical range, not a guarantee. After a brief confidential review of your numbers, we will give you a specific, honest read.
Will you keep this confidential?
Yes. We sign a mutual NDA before touching anything sensitive, and your staff, managing agents, and competitors hear nothing until you decide to tell them. A quiet process protects your contracts and your people.
Do I have to pay any broker or advisory fees?
No. We are the direct buyer, not a broker, so no listing commission or success fee is deducted from your proceeds. What we agree on is what you receive at closing.
Can I stay involved after the sale?
You can, if you want to. Some owners prefer a clean break with a short transition; others stay on for a defined stretch to hand over relationships and coach the team. We shape the handoff around your wishes.
How long does a typical deal take?
Many deals close in roughly 60 to 90 days from the first call, depending on how ready your records are. We can move faster or slower to match your timeline.
What areas around New York do you buy in?
We buy throughout the New York City area, including Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Long Island City. Accounts spread across the boroughs make a company more attractive, not less.
