Sell Your Cleaning Business in Michigan — We’re Buying
CT Cleaners acquires commercial cleaning and janitorial companies in Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, and across Southwest & West Michigan — plus adjacent service businesses. Backed by our parent company Optimal Facility Services and Investera Holdings. Confidential, owner-direct, no brokers required.
NDA first. No fees. No obligation.
We Buy Cleaning Companies and Adjacent Businesses
If you own a cleaning business in Michigan and are thinking about retirement, a career change, or simply your next chapter, CT Cleaners wants to talk. We are a family-owned commercial cleaning company founded in Kalamazoo in 2020, and we grow both by winning contracts and by acquiring good local companies — keeping their crews working and their clients served.
What we acquire:
- Commercial cleaning and janitorial companies of any size
- Office cleaning and day porter operations
- Floor care, strip & wax, and carpet cleaning businesses
- Window cleaning and post-construction cleaning companies
- Janitorial supply routes and distribution accounts
- Adjacent facility-services businesses (landscaping, maintenance, and more — via our parent company Optimal Facility Services)
Our primary acquisition territory is our service area: Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, and the 27 surrounding communities we serve — plus adjacent Michigan markets.
Why Owners Sell to CT Cleaners
Local Buyer, Real Continuity
We are not a private-equity rollup from out of state. Your crews can keep their jobs, your clients keep getting served, and your name is treated with respect in the same community where you built it.
Backed for Bigger Deals
Through Optimal Facility Services and Investera Holdings, we have the backing to acquire businesses of meaningful size — and the systems (documented scopes, QA inspections, one-invoice billing) to run them well after closing.
How the Process Works
- 1. Confidential conversation. A direct call with ownership — no brokers, no pressure. We sign an NDA before anything else.
- 2. Simple review. We look at your revenue, contracts, and team, and explain how we value the business.
- 3. Clear offer. A written offer with flexible structure — full buyout, transition period, or earn-out, whatever fits your goals.
- 4. Smooth handoff. We plan the transition around your employees and clients so the business you built keeps running well.
Selling Your Cleaning Business — FAQs
How much is my cleaning business worth?
Most small commercial cleaning companies are valued on a multiple of owner earnings (SDE), weighted by recurring contract revenue, client retention, and crew stability. We evaluate your actual numbers — revenue mix, contracts, and team — and explain our valuation openly. There is no obligation and no fee to find out.
Is the process confidential?
Completely. We sign an NDA before reviewing anything, conversations are owner-direct with CT Cleaners leadership, and your employees and clients hear nothing until you decide to move forward.
What happens to my employees and clients?
In most acquisitions we keep the crews and continue serving your clients under our systems — that continuity is a big part of what we are buying. We discuss your team and client relationships as part of the deal structure.
How fast can a sale close?
Simple deals can close in a matter of weeks once financials are verified. Timeline depends on size and structure — we move at the pace that fits you, including transition periods where you stay involved.
Do you only buy cleaning companies?
Cleaning and janitorial companies are our core focus, but through our parent company Optimal Facility Services we also acquire adjacent service businesses — floor care, window cleaning, day porter operations, supply routes, and other facility-services companies.
What areas do you buy businesses in?
Southwest and West Michigan first — Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, Portage, Battle Creek, and surrounding communities — plus adjacent markets. For companies outside Michigan, our parent company Optimal Facility Services acquires nationwide.
