How this valuation is worked out
Cleaning and janitorial businesses are priced at roughly 2.5 to 5.5 times seller's discretionary earnings. Signed commercial contracts, low customer concentration and a stable crew push you toward the top of that range.
A worked example
A janitorial company with $1.4M of revenue and $240K of SDE, 70% commercial under contract and a working supervisor in place. At 3.5–4.5× that is $840K–$1.08M.

Common questions
What multiple do cleaning businesses sell for?
Roughly 2.5 to 5.5 times SDE, with commercial janitorial companies under contract at the higher end.
Are subcontractors a problem?
Not automatically, but arrangements that look like employment carry misclassification risk buyers price in.
How do I raise the value?
Reduce owner dependence, diversify clients, and build a record of contract renewals — usually a one to two year project.
