Business Description
Established 1999 NE Ohio Cleaning Co. | $1.1M Revenue
This is a well-established commercial facility services company generating approximately $1.1 million in annual revenue, nearly 85% of it recurring. The company provides nightly and recurring janitorial service, floor care, carpet extraction, touch-free restroom cleaning, post-construction cleanup, and specialty project work to roughly 30 commercial customer relationships spanning office, industrial, education, healthcare, property management, museum/venue, and construction-related accounts throughout Northeast Ohio.
A three-person management team — built entirely through internal promotion — runs payroll, invoicing, hiring, scheduling, inspections, training, and day-to-day field operations. The current owner is not required on-site and spends approximately 10 hours per week on strategic oversight, making this a genuinely turnkey opportunity rather than an owner-operator grind.
The company owns its equipment and service fleet outright, holds Avetta approval, and has posted zero OSHA recordable incidents during its required reporting period — credentials that open the door to larger commercial and industrial contracts many smaller competitors cannot qualify for.

- Facilities & Assets
- Founded in 1999, this company has close to three decades of continuous operating history in the Northeast Ohio commercial cleaning market, with long-tenured customer relationships — several spanning three to ten-plus years, including multi-location accounts across education, medical/office, and property management portfolios.
Current ownership took over in 2024 and has spent the time since professionalizing what was already a respected local operator: strengthened leadership structure, upgraded uniforms and branding, invested in commercial-grade equipment and fleet, secured Avetta safety approval, and implemented a cloud-based workforce management platform for GPS-verified attendance, digital inspections, and centralized customer communication. - Market Outlook / Competition
- This business competes on reliability and professionalism rather than price alone. Customers stay because the company communicates well, resolves issues without excuses, and consistently does what it commits to - a differentiator in an industry where turnover and inconsistent service are common.
Unlike many independent or franchise competitors, day-to-day execution runs through a trained internal management team rather than the owner, which reduces key-person risk for a buyer and signals operational maturity to customers and referral partners. In-house ownership of commercial-grade floor care, carpet extraction, and restroom equipment lets the company deliver specialty services directly instead of subcontracting them out, protecting margin and quality control.
Avetta approval and a clean safety record function as a real competitive moat: many larger commercial, industrial, and institutional accounts require third-party safety qualification before they will even consider a vendor.
- Opportunities for Growth
- The next owner inherits a stable base with clear, low-risk paths to expand it further. Existing post-construction cleaning relationships with general contractors can be converted into recurring janitorial contracts, while current customers offer room to increase share-of-wallet through cross-selling floor care, carpet extraction, window cleaning, day porter services, and restroom deep-cleaning programs. The company can also expand geographically across Northeast Ohio, where the existing management structure and route density are already positioned to support additional accounts without added overhead.
Beyond organic growth, tuck-in acquisitions of smaller janitorial operators or service books offer a straightforward way to add recurring revenue and route density.
