Rare opportunity to acquire a 20-year residential cleaning company serving the highly affluent West Side of Los Angeles, CA. With 90% recurring revenue, documented financials, and a business model that ran at full revenue while the owner was medically incapacitated, this is a truly systemized, semi-absentee cash-flow machine.

Established in 2005, this company has become one of the most recognized and trusted residential cleaning services in its service area near Santa Monica and Beverly Hills. The business specializes in recurring weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly cleanings for long-term residential clients, many of whom have been with the company for 10+ years. Built almost entirely on word-of-mouth referrals, the company has thrived for two decades with virtually no advertising spend.

Key Financial Highlights (2024)

- Gross Revenue: $796K

- Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE): $317K

- SDE Margin: 39.9%

- 90% Recurring Revenue (300+ scheduled appointments per month)

- Asking Price: $1,107,000 (SBA pre-qualifiable)

Operational Overview

The company operates with 4 fully staffed crews (12 W-2 employees) plus 4–5 on-call team members. Each crew is led by a long-tenured Crew Leader (13–17 years with the company). These leaders manage daily field operations, making the business highly owner-independent.

Clients are scheduled in advance through a centralized system managing 300+ monthly appointments. All customers keep credit cards on file and are automatically charged at the end of service. A 3-day cancellation policy protects revenue. The company holds 179 customer keys for secure recurring access.

The owner currently works approximately 10–15 hours per week from home, primarily handling scheduling and customer communication, and visits the 1,200 SF office/storage space 1–2 times per week. In 2022, the owner was on medical leave for the entire year, yet revenue held steady—demonstrating that the systems and crews drive the business, not the owner.

Assets Included

- 4 service vehicles (estimated value ~$50,000; oldest 2016 model)

- ~$20,000 in cleaning equipment and supplies

- Established website and phone number

- Complete customer list with recurring billing

- 179 customer keys

- Office/storage location centrally positioned in West Los Angeles

Competitive Position

Pre-COVID, there were 26 cleaning competitors within a 10-mile radius. Today, only 7 remain. This company operated as an essential service during COVID and even pivoted into sanitation services for clinics and treatment centers.

Customers are primarily high-net-worth residential homeowners. The company commands premium pricing (approx. $180/hour, with recurring discounts) and benefits from exceptional loyalty—many clients remain even after moving within the service area.

Reason for Sale

Sale is driven strictly by the owner’s health considerations. Doctors have advised him to step away from work. The business remains strong, profitable, and stable.

Growth Opportunities

- Add 1–2 additional crews (previously operated 5–6 crews pre-COVID)

- Implement consistent digital marketing (historically near-zero ad spend)

- Expand service territory beyond the West Side
- Develop commercial/office cleaning division

- Expand sanitation services for medical facilities

With structured marketing and expanded capacity, this business could scale significantly beyond current revenue levels.

Ideal Buyer

This opportunity is ideal for an investor or entrepreneur seeking a semi-absentee, system-driven service business with strong recurring cash flow. No cleaning experience is required—the crews handle operations. The right buyer will retain the experienced team, focus on light management and marketing expansion, and build upon a 20-year reputation.

A 4-week transition (20 hours per week) is included to ensure a smooth handoff.
