Investera Holdings is a Michigan family-operated buyer that acquires pest control 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 recurring service routes, a licensed and reliable crew, and a name Manchester homeowners and businesses trust, we want to protect what you created and give you a clean, private way to step back.
Why Manchester owners are thinking about selling now
Pest control is a resilient, recurring business in Manchester because the pressure never really stops, it just changes with the calendar. New England summers bring ants, wasps, mosquitoes, and the ticks that make Lyme disease a genuine concern across Hillsborough County’s wooded neighborhoods. As the long winter sets in, rodents push indoors, and Manchester’s older triple-deckers, North End homes, and converted Millyard buildings give them plenty of ways in. That year-round cycle is why quarterly and monthly service plans hold up so well here, and why a route-based pest business is such durable, recurring revenue.
The commercial side is just as steady. Restaurants and cafes along Elm Street, the food service tied to SNHU and downtown offices, medical facilities like Elliot Health System and Catholic Medical Center, and the retail and warehousing around South Willow Street all need documented, dependable pest programs to satisfy inspectors and protect their reputations. Those accounts rarely switch providers once they trust one. Many Manchester pest control owners who built these books over decades are now ready to slow down, but they do not want their techs and loyal customers handed to a national roll-up. We give them a better alternative.
Who we buy in the Manchester area
We are a good fit for established Manchester pest control owners who want their company and their people to keep thriving after they step away. The clearest fits look like this:
- Recurring revenue from quarterly or monthly service plans
- Roughly $500K+ in revenue or SDE (close is fine)
- Licensed, reliable techs and a capable route lead
- A solid reputation across the Manchester area
- An owner open to a clean handoff or staying on short term
If most of that describes your business, a conversation is worth your time, even if a sale is still down the road. The earlier we connect, the more flexibility we both have to get it right.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees, ever. We buy directly, so you keep the commission a broker would take and you avoid a long, exposed listing process.
A confidential process from day one. Your techs, your Manchester customers, and your competitors learn nothing until you decide the time is right.
Creative deal structures that fit you. A clean exit, a seller note, or a phased transition where you stay licensed for a stretch, we shape terms around your goals.
Operators, not a fund. We own and run service businesses, including CT Cleaners and Optimal Facility Services, so routes, recurring service, and field labor are our daily reality.
How the process works
The process is simple and private. We open with a confidential call about your service plans, your routes, your crew, and what you want from a sale. If it fits, we sign a mutual NDA and review the essentials: revenue, the share of recurring versus one-time work, account counts, and how the business runs without you. Then we present a clear, no-pressure offer. Because we are the actual buyer and not a middleman, your company is never listed or shopped around Manchester, and you never have to entertain unqualified prospects.
We will take care of what you built
Once we own the business, stability is the goal. We layer in proven systems for scheduling, route density, renewals, and compliance documentation, and we install a dedicated general manager and put-in-charge team so the company runs without depending on the founder. Your customers keep the same trucks and the same reliable, licensed service, your techs gain real support, and the reputation you built in Manchester stays intact. We buy to operate, and we intend to be protecting the same homes and businesses for many years to come.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my pest control business worth in Manchester?
Most well-run pest control companies trade in a range of about 2.5 to 4 times SDE (seller’s discretionary earnings), depending on your recurring-plan base, route density, customer retention, and how independently the business operates. That is a typical range, not a guarantee. Share your numbers and we will give you an honest, specific read on value.
Will you keep our discussions confidential?
Yes. Confidentiality is the default. We sign a mutual NDA early and share nothing with your techs, your Manchester customers, or competitors until you are ready. Leaks can cost you accounts and staff, so we guard the process carefully.
Do I pay any broker or listing fees?
No. We are the direct buyer, so there are no brokerage commissions or listing fees taken from your proceeds. That is a real advantage of selling to an operator instead of going to market.
Can I stay involved after the sale?
You can, but it is optional. Some owners stay on to transition licenses, key accounts, and vendor relationships; others prefer a clean break. We install a general manager and support team either way, so the company does not depend on you after closing.
How long does the process take?
Most straightforward deals run about 60 to 90 days from first conversation to closing, depending on your records and the structure we agree on. We can move faster or slower to fit your timeline.
What areas around Manchester do you buy in?
We look at pest control businesses throughout the Manchester region, including Nashua, Concord, Bedford, and Derry, along with the surrounding Hillsborough County communities. If your routes cover that area, we would like to talk.
