Services / Sell Your Commercial Cleaning Company
Sell your cleaning company to a buyer who reads the contract book first.
RockHaven Capital buys commercial cleaning and janitorial companies directly from their owners.
The value in your company sits in its contracts and its renewal history, so that is where we start.
Who We Buy From
The cleaning companies we buy
Cleaning work repeats on a schedule, and the schedule is the business. A building cleaned every night under a signed agreement is worth more than the same revenue chased job by job.
Tell us what your crews clean and how long those accounts have stayed. That history carries real weight in our price.
Office cleaning contracts
Nightly and weekly office cleaning is the core of what we buy. Long-running accounts in office buildings are the strongest sign we look for.
Medical and professional offices
Clinics, dental offices, and professional suites cleaned to a set standard. The accounts renew because the standard is documented and checked.
Retail and bank branches
Stores and branch locations cleaned on fixed routes across a territory. Multi-site accounts show a buyer the operation can scale.
Industrial and warehouse cleaning
Plants, warehouses, and distribution sites with set cleaning schedules. These accounts tend to be large and steady.
Post-construction cleanup
Final cleans for builders after projects wrap. This work supports the contract base rather than replacing it.
Day porter and specialty services
Day porters, floor care, and window work sold alongside core contracts. Added services deepen accounts that already renew.

Five things we check first
Cleaning cash flow proves out of the contract book, not out of a sales pitch. These five checks show us whether the revenue will still be there after you leave.
-
Revenue of $1M to $10M a year
That is our buying range, top to bottom. A company in that range has real accounts and a structure a buyer can step into.
-
Cash flow of $300K and up
It has to be provable from the tax returns. We ask for the returns early so neither side wastes time.
-
A contract book that renews
Signed agreements with a record of renewing carry the value. We read the cancellation terms closely, because easy exits change what the book is worth.
-
Supervisors who check the work
Night work runs on supervision. A supervisor who inspects buildings and handles call-offs without you is worth real money in a sale.
-
Crews that are staffed and steady
Cleaners who stay make accounts stay. Low turnover and clean background checks tell us the operation is under control.

Why Owners Talk To Us
A direct buyer changes the conversation
Cleaning owners usually hear from brokers first. Here is what changes when the buyer is the one across the table.
-
We are the buyer, not a broker
You talk to the firm that would own your company. Nobody shops your contract book around to a list of strangers.
One conversation with the buyer, not a parade of strangers through your business. -
Your accounts never hear a rumor
Building managers and tenants learn nothing from us while we talk. Your crews hear the news from you, on your timing.
Your staff, customers, and competitors never find out from a listing. -
Your supervisors stay in their roles
The supervisors who hold your accounts together are a large part of what we are buying. In most cases they keep their jobs after a sale.
In most cases, the people who helped you build it keep their jobs. -
A price built from your contracts
We price the renewal history and the margins account by account. You hear how we reached the number and what would move it.
A straight number early, with the reason behind it.
The listed route, by the numbers
Listing a cleaning company puts your contract book in front of competitors for months. These figures show what that route usually looks like.

Cash is paid at close, and seller financing is used where it fits.
