Investera Holdings is a Michigan family-operated company that buys and keeps running established service businesses. We are operator-buyers, not brokers and not a passive fund. When we acquire a facility services company in San Diego, we bring disciplined operating systems and a professional management layer, a dedicated general manager and a put-in-charge team, so the business keeps serving its buildings without leaning on the owner for every schedule and site visit. We own and run CT Cleaners and Optimal Facility Services, so integrated facility work, from janitorial and maintenance to grounds and specialty services, is exactly our world. If you have built a facility services company in San Diego County, we would welcome a confidential conversation about its future.
Why San Diego owners are thinking about selling now
Facility services in San Diego are anchored to a vast and varied portfolio of buildings that never stop needing care. The region’s employers span biotech and life sciences in Sorrento Valley and Torrey Pines, defense and Navy installations, healthcare systems like Scripps and Sharp, universities including UC San Diego and San Diego State, a busy convention and hotel corridor, and cross-border industrial and logistics facilities around Otay Mesa. Each of those settings relies on bundled facility services under recurring contracts: janitorial, floor and window care, minor maintenance, grounds, and more. The county’s mild Mediterranean climate keeps buildings occupied and serviced year-round, while dry Santa Ana wind seasons and periodic wildfire smoke drive extra cleaning, filtration, and exterior work.
At the same time, many strong facility services firms in the county are led by founders who are ready to move on. They have earned multi-year contracts with property managers and institutions, and they have crews who know every building, but coordinating labor across scattered sites from Carlsbad to Chula Vista is relentless, and rising wage floors squeeze margins. These owners want a buyer who will honor their contracts, keep their people, and bring the systems to run cleanly at scale, rather than a broker who lists the business and disappears once the check clears. We are built for exactly that kind of handoff.
Who we buy in the San Diego area
We seek established San Diego facility services companies with recurring contract revenue and a team that already manages the daily operation across sites.
- Recurring, contract-based facility services revenue
- Roughly $500K+ in annual revenue or SDE (close is fine)
- A capable operations lead or crew that runs sites independently
- A solid reputation with local property managers and institutions
- Owner open to a clean handoff or a period of transition
If that describes your business, even loosely, a conversation is worthwhile. We assess honestly and we will be candid about whether it is a match.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees. We buy directly, so no listing commission or intermediary takes a slice of what you have built.
A confidential process. Your staff, your clients, and your competitors are kept out of it until you decide to proceed.
Creative deal structures. Cash at close, seller notes, earnouts, or a staged transition; we shape the deal to fit your needs.
Operators, not a fund. We run facility companies ourselves, so we protect your contracts and crews rather than flipping the business.
How the process works
The process is direct and designed around your privacy. We start with a confidential call to understand your company, your contract base, and what you want your next chapter to be. With mutual interest, we sign an NDA and review basics such as revenue, contract mix, and how your operation is staffed. We then bring you a fair, no-obligation offer grounded in your real numbers rather than an inflated listing price. If you like the terms, we move to a clean, well-documented close. Owners regularly tell us it feels far more measured and transparent than putting the business on the open market.
We will take care of what you built
When we buy a facility services company, we are acquiring long-standing trust with property managers and institutions across San Diego, and we protect it. Your crews keep working, your contracts stay honored, and your reputation carries forward. Our general manager and operating team absorb scheduling, billing, hiring, and quality assurance across every site, the pressures that likely wore on you, while maintaining the standards your clients expect. Our aim is to strengthen and grow what you created, not to break it apart.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my facility services business worth in San Diego?
It depends on the company, but facility services businesses generally trade in a range of roughly 2.5x to 4x SDE (seller’s discretionary earnings), based on contract stickiness, revenue quality, team strength, and reputation. That is a typical range, not a guarantee. A private review of your real numbers is the only way to get a meaningful figure.
Will you keep everything confidential?
Yes. Confidentiality guides how we operate. We sign an NDA early and disclose nothing to your employees, clients, or competitors until you choose to move forward.
Do I pay any broker or listing fees?
No. We are direct operator-buyers, not brokers, so there is no commission or middleman fee coming out of your proceeds.
Can I remain involved after the sale?
You can if you want to. Some owners prefer a clean exit; others stay on through a transition or in a continuing role. We build it around your goals.
What is the typical timeline?
Many deals go from first call to close in roughly 30 to 90 days once we have the basics. We can move faster or slower to suit you.
What areas around San Diego do you buy in?
We buy throughout San Diego County, including Chula Vista, Oceanside, Escondido, Carlsbad, El Cajon, La Mesa, Vista, San Marcos, Santee, and National City, plus the City of San Diego.
