Investera Holdings is a Michigan family-operated buyer that acquires landscaping and grounds-maintenance companies in Manchester, NH and keeps them running for the long term. We are not a broker and not a passive fund. We buy one business, put strong systems and a professional management layer behind it, and operate it ourselves. If you have built dependable commercial routes, a seasoned crew, and a name Manchester property managers trust across every season, we want to carry that forward rather than break it apart.
Why Manchester owners are thinking about selling now
Manchester is one of the best landscaping and grounds markets in New England precisely because its seasons are so demanding. Spring brings cleanups and mulch across the North End’s mature yards and the corporate campuses out toward Bedford. Summer means weekly mowing and maintenance along the South Willow Street corridor and the office parks in the Millyard’s orbit. Fall is a heavy leaf-and-cleanup rush. Then winter arrives in force, and snow and ice management becomes mission-critical for every commercial lot, medical campus, and HOA in the region. That full-year cycle is what turns a landscaping company into a genuine recurring-revenue business.
Snow is the difference-maker here. Manchester winters deliver real, repeated accumulation, and property owners at places like Elliot Health System, Catholic Medical Center, SNHU, and the retail centers near the Mall of New Hampshire cannot afford an unplowed lot. A landscaping company with strong commercial contracts and a reliable winter operation is far more valuable and durable than a mow-and-go book. Many Manchester owners who built those year-round relationships are now ready to slow down, but they do not want their crews and loyal accounts handed to a buyer who will let quality slip. We offer them another option.
Who we buy in the Manchester area
We are a strong fit for established Manchester landscaping and grounds owners who want their company and crew to keep thriving. The best fits usually look like this:
- Recurring maintenance or seasonal-contract revenue, including snow
- Roughly $500K+ in revenue or SDE (close is fine)
- A capable crew and at least one strong crew leader
- A solid reputation with Manchester-area property managers
- An owner open to a clean handoff or staying on short term
If that sounds like your operation, it is worth a conversation, even if you are a season or two from deciding. Talking early gives us both more room to build a deal that works.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees, ever. We buy directly, so you do not lose a brokerage commission from your proceeds or spend months exposed on a public listing.
A confidential process from day one. Your crew, your Manchester accounts, and your competitors hear nothing until you decide the timing is right.
Creative deal structures that fit you. A clean exit, a seller note, or a phased handoff across a season or two, we build terms around your goals.
Operators, not a fund. We run service businesses ourselves, including CT Cleaners and Optimal Facility Services, so crews, routes, seasonality, and margins are familiar ground for us.
How the process works
The process is simple and private. We start with a confidential call about your route mix, your crew, your equipment, and what you want from a sale. If it fits, we sign a mutual NDA and review the basics: revenue, the balance of maintenance and snow, contract terms, and how the operation runs day to day. Then we bring you a clear, no-pressure offer. Because we are the buyer and not a middleman, your company never gets listed or shopped around Manchester, and you are not stuck giving tours to unqualified prospects.
We will take care of what you built
After closing, our first priority is keeping the business steady through every season. We add proven systems for scheduling, route planning, snow dispatch, and quality control, and we install a dedicated general manager and put-in-charge team so the company runs without depending on the owner. Your commercial clients keep the reliable service they expect year-round, your crew leaders gain real support, and your people keep steady work. We buy to operate, and we plan to be maintaining the same Manchester properties many seasons from now.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my landscaping business worth in Manchester?
Most healthy landscaping and grounds companies trade in a range of roughly 2.5 to 4 times SDE (seller’s discretionary earnings), depending on your recurring-contract base, the strength of your snow operation, customer concentration, and how well the business runs without you. That is a typical range, not a guarantee. Give us your numbers for an honest, specific view.
Will you keep our conversations confidential?
Yes. Confidentiality comes first. We sign a mutual NDA early and keep everything private from your crew, your Manchester clients, and competitors until you are ready. A leak can cost you accounts, so we protect the process.
Are there any broker or listing fees?
No. We are the direct buyer, so there are no brokerage commissions or listing fees pulled from your proceeds. Selling to an operator rather than going to market keeps more value in your pocket.
Can I stay involved after selling?
You can, but you do not have to. Some owners stay on through a season to transition accounts and vendor relationships; others want a clean exit. We put a general manager and support team in place either way, so the business does not lean on you afterward.
How long does a sale usually take?
A focused deal often moves from first call to close in about 60 to 90 days, depending on your records and the structure. We are glad to speed up or slow down to match your season and your plans.
What areas around Manchester do you buy in?
We consider landscaping and grounds businesses across the Manchester region, including Nashua, Concord, Bedford, and Derry, plus the surrounding Hillsborough County towns. If your routes cover that area, let us talk.
