Business Description
Northern Nevada's commercial exterior cleaning specialist, established 2016 and
built almost entirely on institutional work.

Roughly 90% of revenue comes from national property management firms, industrial
and logistics portfolios, medical office buildings, higher education, and regional
homebuilders. Apartment complexes, warehouses, shopping centers and commercial
buildings, cleaned on annual and seasonal cycles. These are not one-off residential
jobs. They are repeat institutional relationships built over a decade.

THE PART COMPETITORS CAN'T COPY

The company recovers wash water and contaminants on site with vacuum equipment and
disposes of them through a licensed environmental partner. That capability is
required on industrial and environmentally regulated work, and it is billed at a
significant premium. The only local firms carrying comparable equipment are large
environmental contractors whose overhead prices them out of mid-sized commercial
jobs entirely. That leaves this segment largely uncontested, and it is a meaningful
part of why the margins look the way they do.

DEMAND THAT COSTS ALMOST NOTHING TO GENERATE

First organic position in Google search for the market. 5.0 stars across 152
reviews. Google Guaranteed certified. Roughly 90% of leads arrive inbound by
telephone. Total advertising spend runs under 1.2% of revenue. The phone rings
because of ten years of reputation, not because of an ad budget.

THE NUMBERS

Trailing twelve month revenue of $635,369 with owner earnings of $280,438. That is
a 44% margin, roughly double the sector average. Financial statements are
CPA-prepared and reconcile to filed federal tax returns without adjustment. No
long-term debt, no equipment financing, no encumbered assets. Three years of
returns are ready for lender review.

At the asking price under standard SBA terms, the business covers its debt service
2.72 times on full earnings, or 1.84 times after deducting a market salary for a
general manager. It services the debt and pays someone to run it.

WHAT'S ALREADY IN MOTION

The largest customer nearly doubled its local portfolio during 2025 while vendor
compliance was being restored, meaning the company earned very little from that
expansion. Compliance is current and the work has resumed. That growth is almost
entirely ahead of the business rather than behind it.

Four more opportunities are documented but unpursued: a specialty cleaning niche
the owner estimates at $200,000 to $300,000 annually in this market, a dormant
second service line with its own multi-year review history already built, seasonal
snow removal proven profitable on a prior contract, and converting substantial
recurring commercial work from handshake scheduling into written annual service
agreements.

Facilities & Assets
Everything conveys free and clear. No equipment financing, no liens, no encumbered assets.

Rolling stock includes a flatbed rig, a branded service truck, and an enclosed trailer carrying the vacuum reclamation system. Equipment includes a combination washer and heater, a standalone hot water heater, a commercial vacuum, three pressure washing units, reels, tooling, blowers and a generator. Estimated fair market value of the conveying fleet and equipment is roughly $60,750.

The pressure washing units are built in house from separately sourced engines, pumps and heaters, producing a comparable system for about $4,000 to $5,000 against $8,000 to $9,000 retail. A failed pump gets swapped in the yard instead of sitting at a shop billing $135 an hour.

The company leases a 466 square foot shop at $675 a month plus roughly $350 in offsite storage. Crews mobilize directly to job sites and fill water on location for about 98% of work, so the operation is genuinely relocatable.
Market Outlook / Competition
Northern Nevada has been one of the fastest growing commercial and industrial markets in the western United States, with distribution, logistics and advanced manufacturing continuing to relocate into the region. Industry establishments in Nevada grew 8.1% year over year against 4.5% nationally.

The local market is fragmented and segments by capability. Most competitors operate at the residential, low-capital end. Two large environmental contractors hold comparable waste recovery equipment but carry overhead that prices them out of mid-sized commercial work, and they focus on hazmat response rather than exterior cleaning.

The company does not compete on price. It wins on capability, response time, insurance and vendor credentialing standing, and a decade of relationships with property managers who move between portfolios and bring the vendor with them.
Opportunities for Growth
The largest customer nearly doubled its local portfolio during 2025 while vendor compliance was being restored, so the company earned very little from that expansion. Compliance is current and the work has resumed. That growth is almost entirely ahead of the business.

Four more opportunities are documented but unpursued. A specialty cleaning niche the owner estimates at $200,000 to $300,000 annually in this market, where the previous specialist retired and the regional supplier approached the company directly. A dormant second service line with its own multi-year review history already built. Seasonal snow removal, proven profitable on one prior contract and never renewed, which would fill the winter trough. And converting substantial recurring commercial work from handshake scheduling into written annual service agreements, which changes nothing about the work performed and materially improves both revenue visibility and exit value.

About the Sale
Seller Motivation
Owner is perusing a new business venture
Transition Support
Thirty days of training included at minimum, and the owner is open to extending it. Training covers estimating and pricing, chemistry and equipment operation, crew management and account handling.

More valuable than the training: the owner will personally introduce the buyer to every major account rather than handing over a contact list. In a relationship-driven business that is the difference between inheriting revenue and inheriting a phone number.

The documented price book and written operating procedures convey with the business, so pricing does not walk out the door with the seller. The owner is remaining in the area in an unrelated line of work and has offered continued availability for questions after closing.
Financing Options
SBA 7(a) qualified. Three years of filed federal returns and CPA-prepared financials
