Investera Holdings is a Michigan family that buys and holds essential service businesses, and we are actively seeking to acquire a facility services company in San Jose, California. We are not a broker and not a passive fund. We are hands-on operators who bring strong systems and a professional management layer so the company keeps serving its buildings after the founder steps away. Facility services is squarely in our wheelhouse; our portfolio includes Optimal Facility Services and CT Cleaners, so we understand integrated FM, subcontractor management, and the accountability that keeps corporate clients renewing.
Why San Jose owners are thinking about selling now
San Jose is the operational heart of Silicon Valley, home to sprawling corporate campuses, multi-tenant office parks, life-science labs, and public venues such as SAP Center, PayPal Park, and the Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport. Every one of those properties needs coordinated facility services, from janitorial and grounds to handyman work, day porters, and vendor management. The Golden Triangle in North San Jose, the downtown core around Adobe and City Hall, and the mixed-use density of Santana Row all run on facility teams that can bundle services and keep complex sites humming.
As corporate real estate consolidates vendors and leans on integrated facility management, well-run local providers are more valuable than ever, yet many are owned by founders who are ready to retire without a successor. If you have built a facility services company across the valley, this is a strong time to consider a sale to an owner who will keep your contracts, your people, and your reputation intact. We acquire to operate for the long term, not to flip.
Who we buy in the San Jose area
We are looking for one established facility services business in the San Jose area to own and run for the long haul. We are less focused on a spotless financial statement and more on real recurring contracts and a capable team. In broad strokes, here is what fits.
- Recurring or contract facility services revenue
- Roughly $500K or more in revenue or SDE (close is fine)
- A capable operations team and supervisors who plan to stay
- A solid local reputation with property managers and corporate clients
- An owner open to a clean handoff or a defined stay-on
If that is a fair description of your company, we can work out the specifics together. We would rather explore a business that is close than pass over a good operation on a technicality. Reach out and we will quickly tell you whether it is a fit.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees. You work directly with the family that will own and operate the business, so no brokerage commission is taken from your proceeds and no middleman shapes the conversation.
A confidential process. We keep things private from the first call, protecting your relationships with clients, staff, and subcontractors until you choose to share the news.
Creative deal structures. Full exit, gradual transition, or continued involvement, we can shape cash, timing, and your role to match your goals.
Operators, not a fund. We are not financial buyers looking for a quick resale. We buy facility companies to keep, backed by a general manager and real systems so they serve San Jose for years.
How the process works
Our process respects your time. It opens with a confidential call to understand your business and your goals. If there is mutual interest, we sign an NDA and review the basics: contract mix, customer concentration, staffing, and subcontractor relationships. We then bring a clear offer with a valuation grounded in your cash flow. Because we are the actual buyer, we move quickly and give straight answers, without listing your company or exposing it to a parade of strangers.
We will take care of what you built
When we acquire a facility services company, we install a put-in-charge management layer, a dedicated general manager, and the operating systems that let the business run without depending on the former owner. Your supervisors gain support, your field staff keep their jobs, and your clients keep the coordinated service they rely on. We reinvest in training, technology, and account management rather than cutting to hit a number. Stewardship over the long term, not a fast flip, is exactly how Investera operates.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my facility services business worth in San Jose?
Most healthy facility services companies trade in a range of about 2.5 to 4 times SDE (seller’s discretionary earnings), with recurring contracts, diversified clients, and a stable team supporting the higher end. That is a typical range, not a guarantee. After a brief confidential review of your numbers, we can give you a specific, honest figure.
Will you keep this confidential?
Yes. We treat discretion as standard. An NDA is signed early, and we keep your staff, clients, and subcontractors out of the loop until you decide the time is right to share anything.
Do you charge any fees or commissions?
No. We are the buyer, not a broker. No broker fees, listing fees, or commissions come out of your proceeds when you sell to us.
Can I stay involved after the sale?
If you want to, yes. Some owners prefer a clean handoff, while others stay on for a transition period or a part-time role. We shape the arrangement around your preferences.
How long does a sale take?
Because we are the decision-maker, a straightforward deal can go from first call to close in a matter of weeks once the basics are reviewed. We are happy to move more slowly if that suits you.
What areas around San Jose do you buy in?
We buy throughout the South Bay and the wider Santa Clara Valley, including Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, Milpitas, Cupertino, Campbell, Mountain View, Los Gatos, Morgan Hill, and Gilroy.
