Facility services is the connective tissue of Sterling Heights’ economy. Someone has to keep the sprawling industrial buildings on Mound Road clean, safe, and running, someone has to bundle janitorial, grounds, and maintenance for the offices and plants that never really close. If that someone is you, and you have built a multi-service company across Macomb County’s largest city, you know how much rides on your shoulders. Investera Holdings is a Michigan family-operated buyer that acquires facility services companies and keeps them running. We are not a broker and not a passive fund. When you are ready to sell my facility services business in Sterling Heights, we come in as operators, put a general manager and durable systems in place, and keep the company serving its clients.
Why Sterling Heights owners are thinking about selling now
Sterling Heights was practically built for facility services. The Innovate Mound corridor reconstruction has been modernizing one of the densest concentrations of defense and automotive facilities in the country, with General Dynamics Land Systems headquartered on Mound Road and Stellantis’ Sterling Heights Assembly Plant and stamping operations nearby. Large facilities like these want a single partner handling cleaning, grounds, and light maintenance across multiple sites, and the ongoing redevelopment of Lakeside Mall into a mixed-use district is creating an entirely new set of properties that will need managing for years to come.
That structural demand is exactly why now is a good moment to think about selling. Multi-service contracts are sticky and valuable, but running them means juggling labor across trades, meeting the compliance and safety standards that industrial clients demand, and absorbing the four-season swings of Michigan, from winter snow-and-salt cleanup to summer grounds care. Many owners who built these companies are ready to hand off that complexity while their contracts are strong and their reputation across the region is at its best. Selling now lets you realize the value of a business at full stride rather than carrying the load for another few years.
Who we buy in the Sterling Heights area
We are a natural fit for established Sterling Heights facility services companies that bundle recurring work across more than one trade. You do not need scale or spotless books to start a conversation.
- Recurring, contract-based revenue across janitorial, grounds, or maintenance services
- Roughly $500K+ in annual revenue or seller’s discretionary earnings, close is fine
- Supervisors and crews who already run the sites day to day
- A solid reputation with commercial and industrial clients in Macomb County
- An owner open to a clean handoff or to staying on for a transition
If that sounds like your company, it is worth a call. Even if a piece or two is missing, share the real story and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right buyer.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees. We buy directly, so you keep what a listing commission would otherwise take out of your proceeds.
A confidential process. Your crews, your clients, and competing service firms along the Mound and Van Dyke corridors hear nothing until you decide and the deal is closed.
Creative deal structures. We can combine cash at close, seller financing, or an earnout so the terms match your goals instead of a fixed formula.
Operators, not a fund. We run what we buy. No flip, no absentee investor, just a family keeping the company operating in Sterling Heights.
How the process works
Our approach is deliberate and low-pressure. We open with a confidential call about your contracts, your sites, and what you want from a sale. If it looks like a fit, we sign an NDA and review a couple of years of financials plus your contract roster. We then present a clear offer with a valuation built on your true earnings, not a speculative asking price. If the terms suit you, we run diligence promptly and quietly, coordinate the paperwork, and close on the timeline you choose.
We will take care of what you built
When we acquire a facility services company, we protect the relationships and the people that make it work. We install a general manager and a put-in-charge team so the operation no longer depends on the owner, then reinforce scheduling, subcontractor coordination, quality control, and safety systems so every site keeps its standard. Our own companies, CT Cleaners and Optimal Facility Services, reflect how we operate: keep the name and the clients, invest in the workforce, and run the business for the long term rather than stripping it for a fast exit.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my facility services business worth in Sterling Heights?
Most well-run facility services companies trade in a range of roughly 2.5x to 4x seller’s discretionary earnings (SDE). The multiple reflects the share of recurring multi-service contracts, client concentration, crew stability, and margins. That is a typical range, not a guarantee, and we will explain how we arrive at a specific number for your company.
Will this stay confidential?
Yes. We sign an NDA before reviewing anything sensitive, and your employees, clients, and competitors do not learn about a possible sale until you decide to tell them.
Do I have to pay broker or advisory fees?
No. We are the buyer, not a brokerage, so there is no listing commission or advisory fee taken from your proceeds when you sell to us directly.
Can I stay involved after the sale?
You are welcome to. Some owners stay on briefly to hand off key accounts and site supervisors; others remain longer in a role that suits them. We can also structure a clean, full exit if you prefer.
How long does a sale take?
With financials and your contract list in hand, most deals move from first conversation to close in about 60 to 90 days, depending on diligence and your preferred pace.
What areas around Sterling Heights do you buy in?
We evaluate facility services companies throughout the region, including Warren, Utica, Shelby Township, Troy, and Clinton Township, plus the broader Macomb and Oakland County area.
