Investera Holdings is a Michigan family-operated company that acquires landscaping and grounds maintenance businesses in Greensboro and keeps them running under professional management. We are operators and buyers, not a broker and not a passive fund. When we buy your company, we install strong systems and a dedicated general manager so the routes stay serviced, the crews keep their jobs, and the reputation you built across Guilford County stays healthy. Our portfolio, including CT Cleaners and Optimal Facility Services, is proof that we operate what we own.
Why Greensboro owners are thinking about selling now
Greensboro’s long growing season is a quiet engine behind every good landscaping route. Warm, humid Piedmont summers push turf and shrubs into rapid growth from roughly March into November, which means recurring mowing, edging, and bed work for the better part of the year rather than a short window. The region’s red clay soils and heavy pollen seasons keep demand steady for aeration, seeding, mulch, and cleanups, and because winters are mild with little lasting snow, the business leans toward dependable maintenance rather than unpredictable storm work.
On top of that steady base, the county keeps building. HOA communities across Summerfield, Oak Ridge, and Jamestown, corporate campuses near Friendly Center, and new commercial sites tied to the megasite and warehouse boom all need contracted grounds care. Many of the owners who built Greensboro’s landscaping routes over the years, though, are worn down by the early mornings and the labor grind. If you hold recurring maintenance contracts and a crew that knows the routes, this is a strong time to convert that into cash and a clean handoff rather than run yourself into the ground for another season.
Who we buy in the Greensboro area
We look for established landscaping and grounds maintenance companies in Greensboro and the surrounding Triad, operations with recurring contracts and a real crew, not a solo mow-and-go.
- Recurring maintenance contracts rather than mostly one-time installs
- Around $500K or more in revenue or SDE (close is acceptable)
- A capable crew and a foreman who can run routes without the owner
- A good name with Greensboro HOAs, property managers, or commercial clients
- An owner open to a clean handoff or to staying on for a season
If that matches your business, a conversation is worth having, even if you are only starting to picture life after the trucks.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees. We buy directly, so there is no listing commission carving into your proceeds. The number we agree on is the number that matters.
A confidential process. Your crew, your HOA clients, and the competitors bidding along Battleground Avenue hear nothing until you are ready. Early conversations stay between us.
Creative deal structures. Cash at closing, seller financing, an earnout on the contract base, or a phased buyout. We shape terms to your goals and taxes, not to a rigid formula.
Operators, not a fund. We manage the companies we buy, including CT Cleaners and Optimal Facility Services. We are not a financial buyer bundling your routes to resell later.
How the process works
It begins with a low-key phone call to learn your routes, your contracts, and what you want from a sale. If there is a fit, we sign an NDA and review your maintenance agreements, financials, equipment, and staffing. We can usually deliver a clear offer within a couple of weeks, go through it with you line by line, and set a closing timeline that fits your season. There is no obligation, and nothing goes public unless we both choose to move ahead.
We will take care of what you built
After we close, we do not break the company apart. We bring in a dedicated general manager and Investera’s operating systems so scheduling, renewals, equipment, and quality no longer rest on your shoulders alone. Your crew keeps their jobs and their routes, your clients keep the service they count on, and in most cases your name stays on the trucks. We want the business running more smoothly after the handoff than before, because reliable service is what keeps HOA and commercial contracts renewing year after year.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my landscaping business worth in Greensboro?
Most solid landscaping and grounds companies in the Greensboro area tend to sell in a range of about 2.5 to 4 times SDE (seller’s discretionary earnings). Your position in that range depends on how much of your revenue is contracted maintenance versus one-time work, your margins, client concentration, and how well the crew runs without you. That is a typical range, not a guarantee, and we will walk the numbers with you honestly.
Will you keep this confidential?
Yes. Your crew, your clients, and your competition will not hear about a possible sale from us. We start under an NDA and plan any wider communication with you, on your schedule.
Are there broker or listing fees?
No. Because we buy directly, there is no broker commission taken out of your proceeds. What you would have paid a listing agent stays with you.
Can I stay involved after selling?
You can if you want to. Some owners stay through a season to hand off client relationships, others step away cleanly. We build the transition around your preference.
How long does a sale take?
Typically six to twelve weeks from first call to closing, depending on your records and your timeline. We can move faster when the numbers are clear, and we will never rush you.
What areas around Greensboro do you buy in?
We buy across Guilford County and the broader Triad, including High Point, Burlington, Kernersville, Jamestown, and Summerfield. Routes in those areas are a plus for us.
