Investera Holdings buys facility services companies in Norfolk, Virginia, and keeps them running under professional management. We’re a Michigan family-operated operator-buyer — not a broker, not a passive fund. If you’ve caught yourself thinking ‘I may want to sell my facility services business in Norfolk,’ let’s have a private conversation. Portfolio companies such as CT Cleaners and Optimal Facility Services show how we buy and hold service businesses for the long haul.
Why Norfolk owners are thinking about selling now
Norfolk is a facilities town. Between Naval Station Norfolk, the Port of Virginia’s terminals, NATO’s Allied Command Transformation, the medical campuses around Sentara Norfolk General and CHKD, and the government and Class A office space downtown, a huge share of the region’s real estate is large, complex, and under contract for its upkeep. Integrated facility services companies — bundling janitorial, maintenance, grounds, and more into one recurring agreement — sit right in the middle of that demand. That contracted, multi-service revenue is exactly what we want to buy and keep operating.
Owners who have built these contracts often spend years cultivating relationships with property managers and institutional buyers along the Norfolk Innovation Corridor and beyond — and that goodwill doesn’t transfer to just anyone. As those owners look toward retirement, few have a buyer who understands multi-service operations and will protect the accounts. We are that buyer: a family-run operator that keeps your team and your name, and absorbs the day-to-day so the contracts keep performing.
Who we buy in the Norfolk area
We buy facility services companies in Norfolk that run on bundled, recurring contracts rather than project work. If your accounts renew year after year and your site teams run the work without you, we’d like to talk.
- Recurring, multi-service contracts — janitorial, maintenance, grounds, or bundled FM
- Roughly $500K+ in revenue or SDE (close is acceptable)
- Site supervisors or a management layer that runs accounts day to day
- A dependable reputation with Norfolk-area property managers and institutions
- An owner open to a clean handoff or a period of staying on
If that’s the business you’ve built, the first step is simply a confidential talk — no listing, no disruption, and no obligation to proceed.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees. We acquire directly, so no listing commission and no intermediary ever comes between you and your proceeds.
A confidential process. Your account managers, your clients, and rival firms hear nothing until you choose to share the news.
Creative deal structures. Whether it’s cash at close, a seller note, or a gradual transition of accounts, we build terms around your goals.
Operators, not a fund. We run our companies for the long term; you’re handing the business to people who operate it, not to a fund seeking a quick flip.
How the process works
We open with a confidential call about your contract portfolio, your site teams, and what you’re hoping to get out of a sale. When it looks like a fit, we sign an NDA and quietly examine your recurring revenue, service mix, and staffing. Then we present a clean offer, agree on terms, and conduct diligence without unsettling a single account. The pace is always yours to set.
We will take care of what you built
After we buy, we install a dedicated general manager and reinforce the scheduling, quality-assurance, and reporting systems that keep multi-service accounts humming without you in the loop. Clients keep the service standards they signed up for, your people keep their roles, and the company continues serving Norfolk under steady management. We buy to keep and strengthen — never to dismantle.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my facility services business worth in Norfolk?
Most well-run facility services companies change hands in a range of roughly 2.5x to 4x SDE (seller’s discretionary earnings). Your recurring contract base, your margins, and how independently your accounts run all shape the figure. It’s a typical range, not a guarantee — you’ll get a real number once we’ve reviewed your books confidentially.
Will anyone find out we’re talking before I’m ready?
No. The entire process is confidential. Your clients, your site teams, and competing firms won’t hear a thing until you decide to tell them.
Are there broker fees or commissions?
None at all. We’re the buyer, not a broker, so there’s no listing fee and no commission — the agreed price is what reaches you.
Can I stay on after selling?
If you’d like to, yes. Some owners transition out immediately; others stay to hand over key accounts and steady the team. We can also arrange a clean, prompt exit.
How long does the process usually take?
With focus, deals often close in about two to three months, but we don’t rush. If you need more runway to prepare, that’s fine.
What areas around Norfolk do you buy in?
We buy across Hampton Roads. In addition to Norfolk, that includes Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Hampton, and Suffolk.
