Janitorial Services Business

This fast-growing janitorial services business in Southwestern Ontario has been servicing an exclusive list of clients for over 50 years. Their business model targets top-tier commercial and municipal clients who demand white-glove treatment and the highest quality cleaning services. The result has been impressive: 1) above-average profit margins; 2) exceptional customer and employee retention rates; and 3) a business model that is scalable to insulate them from competitors.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the business has taken advantage of sustainable growth opportunities such as
increased workstation sanitization and routine disinfection of high-traffic common areas. This has led to increased revenue of 55% from 2020 to 2021 and increased profitability (normalized EBITDA) to 42% from 23%. This uptick is expected to continue indefinitely as compliance with health and safety protocols continue to evolve as employers are challenged with getting their employees back into the office while keeping them safe and protected.
The seller has put management in place to run the day-to-day in order to ensure a smooth selling process.
