During our third of a century of existence, we have developed both an unmatched depth of experience (an aggregate of several hundred years!) and a vast network of individual, corporate, and investment group buyers. In addition, our affiliation with the International Business Brokers Association allows us to reach buyers represented by other intermediary firms worldwide. Why Choose the Business Team Brokerage? I am a Managing Director with BTI in the M&A with sixteen years of experience dealing with different industries(please see my Profile attached). At BTI Group we have helped over 7,900 business owners successfully make that transition in our 40 years of business representing buyers and sellers. Some reasons why you might favor us in representing you are: 1. Experience – having sold over 7900 businesses we know how to get the job done and avoid common pitfalls. 2. Marketing Power – with 10 offices and 130 agents, we have a huge following of prospective buyers seeking to own businesses. 3. Confidentiality – our agents are all highly sensitive to confidentiality and our processes are all designed to protect the confidentiality of the sale. 4. Buyer Screening – let our agents do the time-consuming work of screening buyers so that only well-qualified buyers get to tour the business and meet with you. 5. You Run The Business – to keep sales, profits and hence value UP! We take the time to market the business, screen buyers, etc. to keep your time free. If you spend too much time trying to sell and let sales slip, the business value will suffer – we help you keep that value up. 6. Good Advice = since all we do is sell businesses we are your best source of advice on valuation, deal structuring, buyer selection, confidentiality, sale

See More FranchisesThe cleaning industry plays a crucial role in maintaining cleanliness and hygiene across various sectors, including residential, commercial, and industrial environments. This industry has gained significant importance, especially in the wake of heightened awareness around health and sanitation following the Covid-19 pandemic.
Businesses in this industry are dominated by residential cleaning services, followed by commercial janitorial companies. Commercial janitorial businesses tend to command higher valuations thanks to their relatively predictable revenue streams, and resilience to macroeconomic factors.
If you are planning to buy or sell a cleaning or janitorial business, it is helpful to have some context on the market in terms of valuation metric and typical financial performance. To that end, we have aggregated and analyzed business for sale data in the cleaning industry to tease out average financials and valuation multiples based on asking prices.

FAQs
How much does it cost to buy a cleaning business?
Prices vary depending on the size and sales of the business, but the median asking price for a cleaning business in the U.S. is $250,000.
How much do cleaning business owners earn?
Cleaning and janitorial business owners report median annual sales of $499,348 and annual owner earnings of $152,000. These figures are based on businesses that have listed their annual revenue and seller's discretionary earnings.
How do I value a cleaning business?
Valuing a cleaning business involves considering several factors, including annual sales, profit, growth (or decline) trends, stability of customer base, and economic trends in the local market. Brokers, business owners, and business buyers will typically rely on valuation multiples to gauge business value relative to similar businesses in the market. Revenue multiples among cleaning and janitorial businesses listed for sale across the U.S. range from 0.31 to 1.09, with the median at 0.67. Earnings multiples range from 1.15 to 3.00, with the median at 2.10. These values suggest a typical cleaning business may sell for around 0.67 times its annual revenue, and 2.1 times its annual owner’s earnings.
