Selling Process
Why Sell to Evergreen?
Choosing the right partner to acquire your business is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make as an owner. At Evergreen, we don’t just look at numbers; we look at people, relationships, and the long-term value your company has built.
A Reputation You Can Trust
For more than 30 years, Evergreen has been providing dependable janitorial services to organizations across Western Canada. From carpet care to floor maintenance, we’ve earned the confidence of clients in retail, education, healthcare, and government sectors. Joining Evergreen means your clients benefit from this same proven stability and commitment to excellence.
Support for Your Employees
We know your employees are the backbone of your business. That’s why Evergreen invests heavily in training, safety, and career growth. Our teams are certified in safe cleaning practices, chemical handling, and restroom sanitation standards. When you sell to Evergreen, your staff will have access to expanded resources and the opportunity to grow within a larger organization.
Protecting Your Legacy
You’ve spent years, maybe decades, building strong client relationships. Selling to Evergreen ensures those relationships continue with a company that values reliability, respect, and professionalism.
A Smooth Transition
Our acquisition process is designed to be straightforward and respectful. We know owners care about both the financial side and the human side of selling. Evergreen balances fair valuations with a clear transition plan, giving you peace of mind that clients and employees are taken care of.
Selling your janitorial company isn’t the end of your story, it’s a new chapter. By joining Evergreen, you give your team and your clients the advantage of a larger, established partner while ensuring your hard work continues to grow in value.
What We Consider in Valuation
Every janitorial business is different. When Evergreen evaluates a potential acquisition, we take a holistic approach that goes beyond the balance sheet. Numbers matter, but so do people, culture, and long-term client satisfaction.
Company Size
Whether you operate a small, regional team or a larger organization with multiple contracts, Evergreen is open to opportunities. We have the infrastructure to integrate companies of various sizes and help them grow within our broader network.
Employee Count
Your employees are central to your company’s value. We consider team size, retention, and experience when determining fit. Evergreen places a strong emphasis on training and staff development, using proven programs like orientation to cleaning and safe operating procedures to ensure workers feel supported and engaged.
Revenue and EBITDA
Financial performance plays an important role in valuation. Revenue, profit margins, and EBITDA all help establish a fair purchase price. But unlike private equity groups or outside investors, Evergreen looks at more than just financial metrics. We want to understand how your company earns that revenue, the stability of your contracts, and the industries you serve.
Client Portfolio
A company’s reputation with its clients is one of its most important assets. We look at the types of clients you serve, whether in retail, healthcare, education, or government, and the strength of those relationships.
Company Culture
We also evaluate the workplace culture you’ve built. Strong communication, reliable service, and employee loyalty all contribute to long-term value. Evergreen’s goal is to protect that culture while enhancing it with additional resources and support.
By looking at both the numbers and the intangibles, Evergreen ensures that every acquisition reflects the true value of the company, not just its financials, but the people and reputation that make it successful.
Our Acquisition Process
Selling your janitorial business is a major decision, and we believe the process should be as clear and straightforward as possible. At Evergreen, we’ve designed our acquisition process to balance fairness, confidentiality, and respect for the company you’ve built.
Step 1: Confidential Discussion
It all begins with a private conversation. We’ll talk about your goals, your company’s history, and what matters most to you in a transition. Everything shared is kept strictly confidential.
Step 2: Business Review
Next, we take a closer look at your operations, including financial performance, contracts, and employee structure. This review allows us to understand the strengths of your business and where Evergreen can bring added value. For example, our existing expertise in general cleaning and specialized services ensures we can support your team with proven systems right away.
Step 3: Fair Valuation
Using the information gathered, Evergreen develops a fair purchase valuation. This includes company size, employee count, revenue, EBITDA, and client portfolio. Unlike some buyers who focus solely on financial return, we balance the numbers with intangibles like culture and reputation, because we know those are key to long-term success.
Step 4: Agreement & Transition Plan
Once valuation is agreed upon, we create a purchase agreement and a transition plan tailored to your business. The goal is to make the shift seamless for both employees and clients. We place a strong emphasis on communication throughout this stage so everyone feels supported.
Step 5: Integration
After closing, your business is fully integrated into Evergreen’s operations. Employees gain access to new resources, clients benefit from a larger support system, and owners gain peace of mind knowing their legacy is secure. Evergreen’s structured training, including orientation and safe work procedures, ensures a smooth handover for your staff.
Why This Matters
According to Harvard Business Review, most acquisitions fail when integration is rushed or poorly planned. Evergreen takes a different approach. We invest the time to understand your business, respect your people, and build a transition plan that creates stability and growth for years to come.
Confidentiality & Respect
Selling your company is a major decision. At Evergreen, we handle every step with discretion, integrity, and respect for what you’ve built.
- Confidential from Day One
Everything you share with us, financials, employee details, client contracts, is kept private. Protecting your business until the right time for transition is our top priority. - Respect for Your Legacy
Your company represents years of dedication and hard work. Our goal is to carry that forward, not erase it. Evergreen protects the systems, culture, and client trust you’ve developed over time. - Support for Employees
Transitions can feel uncertain for staff. We provide training and resources through orientation to cleaning and restroom sanitation standards so employees are equipped to succeed in a larger organization. - Continuity for Clients
Client relationships are among your company’s most valuable assets. Evergreen ensures service remains seamless and reliable. As Forbes highlights, company culture is one of the most powerful advantages any business can have, and we are committed to protecting both the culture and the trust you’ve worked hard to build.
Confidentiality and respect aren’t afterthoughts; they are the foundation of our acquisition process. By valuing your legacy, supporting employees, and safeguarding client trust, Evergreen ensures your transition is both rewarding and meaningful.
