Five years ago this was one owner with a phone and a service truck's worth of ambition. Today it bills at a $3.9 million annual run-rate, cleans buildings in thirteen states, and does it without owning a single van.
That's the story here, and it's worth understanding before you look at anything else. This is a commercial janitorial and facility-services company built on a smarter model than most of its competitors: the company wins and holds the customer, and a vetted local service partner does the work in each market. No fleet. No depots. No regional supervisors. Net equipment on the books is under $1,500. When this company entered its ninth, tenth, eleventh state, it didn't cost a truck payment to do it — a buyer inherits reach instead of overhead.
The revenue is daily, recurring, contracted work: office, retail, industrial, restaurant and venue cleaning, plus floor restoration, windows, carpet, grounds, striping, pest control and light trades already sold into the same accounts. Commercial cleaning is about as recession-resistant as small business gets — buildings get occupied, buildings get dirty, and somebody has to show up Monday morning. Growth has run 78% compounded over two years against an industry growing 8.8%.
The owner is retiring after more than twenty years in the trade, and he isn't walking away at the closing table. The first 30 days of training are free, and he'll stay on afterward, paid, to help the next owner keep growing this rather than just take the keys.
Financials are seller-prepared, with a full reconciliation package available to qualified buyers under NDA. NDA and proof of funds required.
