You built a pest control company that Albuquerque households and businesses rely on to stay ahead of desert pests. When you are ready to move on, Investera Holdings buys pest control businesses here and keeps them running — protecting your technicians, your recurring accounts, and the reputation you earned across the metro.
Why Albuquerque owners are thinking about selling now
Pest control is one of the most durable service businesses in Albuquerque because the high desert never stops producing pests. Bark scorpions and black widows, subterranean termites, roof rats and packrats, gophers, and the ant pressure that comes with dry ground all keep homeowners on quarterly and bimonthly plans, while the summer monsoon brings mosquito activity along the Rio Grande bosque and the North and South Valley. Steady residential growth in the Northeast Heights, Ventana Ranch, Mesa del Sol, and neighboring Rio Rancho keeps adding new accounts, and commercial demand from restaurants, medical facilities, and the office corridors around Uptown and the Journal Center rounds out a recurring, contract-heavy revenue base.
That recurring book is exactly what makes a well-run pest control company valuable — and what makes a careful handoff so important. Many owners here built their route density and their licensed-tech bench over many years, and after all the scheduling and on-call pressure they are ready to step back. The concern is what happens to the recurring customers and the team if the company sells to someone who does not understand the trade or the market. Selling to an operator who keeps the technicians, retains the service plans, and strengthens the systems protects the value you spent a career building.
Who we buy in the Albuquerque area
We are a Michigan family that buys and runs service businesses for the long haul — not a broker listing your company, not a fund looking to flip it. We are interested in pest control companies with real recurring, contracted revenue around Albuquerque.
- Recurring service plans or contract-based route revenue
- Roughly $500K+ in revenue or SDE (close is fine)
- Licensed techs and a lead who can run routes without you
- A strong local reputation with residential or commercial accounts
- Owner open to a clean handoff or a paid transition
If that sounds like your company, a first conversation is confidential and free. Even if a sale is a year or more out, it is worth understanding what a broker-free deal with an operator-buyer could look like.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees. We are the direct buyer, so no listing commission comes out of your proceeds and no middleman controls the deal — you work straight with the operators who will run the company.
A confidential process. Your technicians, your customers, and your competitors hear nothing until you decide. A recurring route runs on trust, and we protect it from the first call.
Creative deal structures. Cash at close, a seller note, an earnout tied to retained accounts, or a phased buyout — we shape terms around your goals, including any trucks, equipment, and licensing involved.
Operators, not a fund. We install strong systems and a dedicated general manager so the company runs without you, and we hold what we buy for the long term. Our portfolio — CT Cleaners and Optimal Facility Services — shows how we operate.
How the process works
We start with a private call to understand your routes, your team, your accounts, and your goals. If it is a fit, we sign an NDA, review a few years of financials, and give you an early, honest read on value — no drawn-out process. From there we structure a fair offer, agree on terms, and move through diligence efficiently. Because we buy with our own capital and are not waiting on a lender, we close cleanly and on a predictable schedule.
We will take care of what you built
When we acquire a pest control company, stability comes first. We add a professional management layer — a dedicated general manager plus clear systems for routing, scheduling, product and licensing compliance, and payroll — so the business runs whether or not you stay on. Your licensed technicians keep their jobs, your recurring customers keep their coverage, and the standards behind your name stay in place. We grow through service quality and retention — earning renewals and referrals — not by thinning the team or cutting corners.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my pest control business worth in Albuquerque?
Most established pest control companies trade in a range of about 2.5 to 4 times seller’s discretionary earnings (SDE). Where you land depends heavily on recurring plan revenue, customer retention, route density, margins, and how independently the business runs. It is a typical range, not a guarantee — we give you a specific, honest read once we see your numbers.
Will this stay confidential?
Yes. Nothing reaches your technicians, customers, or competitors until you choose to share it. Early discussions happen under an NDA and the entire process is handled discreetly.
Do I have to pay broker or advisor fees?
No. We are the buyer, not a broker. There is no listing commission and no success fee taken from your proceeds.
Can I stay involved after the sale?
If you want to. Some owners hand off over a few months and exit; others stay on in a paid role to steady customer and tech relationships. We build the transition around what works for you.
How long does a sale usually take?
With financials and agreed terms in place, a clean deal often closes in roughly 60 to 90 days. We work at your pace, and our own capital keeps lender delays out of the picture.
What areas around Albuquerque do you buy in?
We look at companies across the metro and nearby communities, including Rio Rancho, Los Lunas, Bernalillo, Corrales, Placitas, and the South Valley.
