Investera Holdings is a Michigan family-operated operator-buyer — not a broker, not a passive fund — that acquires facility services companies and keeps them running under professional management. We already work in this world through CT Cleaners and Optimal Facility Services, so a Warren facility services book reads to us like our own daily operation. If you own one and are weighing an exit, let’s talk in confidence.
Why Warren owners are thinking about selling now
Facility services — the bundled mix of janitorial, maintenance, grounds and general upkeep that keeps a building running — has a natural home in Warren. This is a city of large campuses and multi-tenant industrial space: the General Motors Technical Center spans a sprawling design-and-engineering campus, the Detroit Arsenal and TACOM anchor a major federal footprint, and the supplier plants and distribution buildings along Mound Road, Groesbeck and Van Dyke want one dependable partner to handle everything from floor care to lamp changes. Owners who can wrap several services into a single recurring contract sit on exactly the kind of sticky revenue we want to own.
Michigan’s climate makes that bundle even more valuable. A Warren facility manager wants the same vendor salting the lot during a February storm, mopping the tracked-in slush, and swapping filters before the summer humidity arrives — continuity across all four seasons. If you have built those integrated relationships but you are still the person tying the services together and fielding every after-hours call, a buyer with a genuine management layer can lift that load while keeping your promises to customers.
Who we buy in the Warren area
We are intentionally selective, because we plan to run what we acquire. A Warren facility services company usually fits when it looks like this:
- Recurring or contracted revenue across bundled services — janitorial, maintenance, grounds or similar
- Roughly $500K+ in annual revenue or SDE (close is fine)
- A capable team with supervisors who run the day-to-day without you
- A strong local reputation with Warren-area building owners and facility managers
- An owner open to a clean handoff or a defined stay-on period
If some pieces are missing, it is still worth reaching out. We would rather start a relationship with a good Warren facility services operator early than let a single detail rule it out.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees. We purchase directly, so there is no commission carved out of your proceeds — you negotiate with the operators who will actually take the reins.
A confidential process. Nothing reaches your staff, your customers or the competing shops nearby until you are ready to say so; privacy is part of the deal.
Creative deal structures. We can mix cash at close with a seller note, an earnout or a phased transition to match your goals and minimize surprises at tax time.
Operators, not a fund. We are a family that already runs facility and cleaning companies, not a fund on a countdown; your Warren business becomes a long-term hold.
How the process works
The process is straightforward and never rushed. We start with a confidential call to understand your services, your contracts and what you want from a sale. If there is mutual interest, we sign an NDA and review the fundamentals — revenue mix, contract terms and team structure. We can typically share an honest valuation range within a couple of weeks and then present a written offer. You control the timing, and nothing goes public until you sign.
We will take care of what you built
Once we close, our focus turns to continuity. We put a dedicated general manager and a put-in-charge team in place so the company runs independently of you, and we safeguard what earned your reputation — your people’s jobs, your service quality, and the trust of the Warren facilities that depend on you across every season. The name and the standards stay; the business keeps delivering.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my facility services business worth in Warren?
Most solid facility services companies trade in a range of roughly 2.5 to 4 times seller’s discretionary earnings (SDE). The exact figure depends on how much revenue is under recurring contract, how diversified your services and customers are, and how well the team runs without you. Treat this as a typical range, not a guarantee — we provide a specific number after a confidential review.
Will you keep this confidential?
Yes. We sign a mutual NDA before any sensitive information changes hands, and we do not contact your employees, customers or competitors during diligence. It stays private until you choose to move ahead.
Do you charge any fees or commissions?
No. Because we are the buyer rather than a broker, you pay no listing fee, no success fee and no commission — none of it comes out of your proceeds.
Can I stay involved after the sale?
However you like. Some owners transition out cleanly; others stay on for a while to hand off relationships and support the new manager. We shape the transition around your preference.
How long does a typical sale take?
Usually 60 to 90 days from the first call to closing, depending on how ready your records are and how the handoff is structured. We can speed up or slow down to fit you.
What areas around Warren do you buy in?
Warren is our focus, and we also actively buy facility services companies nearby — Sterling Heights, Center Line, Roseville, Madison Heights and Troy.
