Well-established commercial janitorial services company generating nearly $2.8M in revenue with ~$450K estimated SDE. Family-owned for over 40 years, strong recurring client base, and low customer churn.
Business Overview:
Founded over four decades ago, this full-service janitorial and facilities maintenance company provides cleaning, window washing, floor care, and light maintenance services primarily to HOAs, condo associations, and office buildings across South Florida. The company shifted its focus from retail and automotive clients to higher-margin, essential-service commercial properties prior to COVID, which allowed it to operate continuously and grow revenue through the pandemic and beyond. Approximately 40 active customer contracts are in place, with the majority structured as renewable annual agreements featuring 30-day out clauses. Operations are supported by a seasoned manager, a team of 25+ employees, and a trusted network of subcontractors servicing statewide accounts.
Investment Highlights:
-Strong Client Relationships: 40+ active commercial contracts built on multi-decade relationships with property managers and associations.
-Diverse Revenue Mix: Core janitorial services plus ancillary offerings (carpet, floor care, pressure washing) and subcontracted regional accounts.
-Proven Stability: Essential business designation during COVID enabled uninterrupted operations and record revenue growth post-2020.
-Turnkey Operations: Day-to-day management led by a seasoned operations manager; owner focuses primarily on oversight and business development.
-Attractive Add-Back Profile: Significant owner benefits embedded in financials, with potential for clean cash flow recapture for strategic acquirers.
Growth & Scale Opportunities:
-Expand Subcontracting Program: Increase reach across Florida by further developing outsourced service lines.
-Sales & Marketing Upside: Currently no formal marketing; inbound growth via referrals and reputation — a formal sales strategy could accelerate expansion.
