Linakot hero

The investment principle

Evidence over projections.

What you can expect

Financial verification before purchase
A people-conscious transition
No guaranteed-return promises

01 / The acquisition model

Buy the foundation.
Build the next chapter.

Essential services. Repeat demand. A local operation worth preserving. Our focus is on recurring cleaning and maintenance contracts for medical and dental offices, office buildings, apartments, and property managers.

The goal is not growth at any cost. It is a durable business that can cover operations, financing, and reserves before expanding.
M

Model: recurring by design

Monthly service contracts and renewable annual agreements form the core. Deep cleaning and specialized work can add revenue without replacing that foundation.

A

Acquisition: verify, then decide

Reconcile financial statements with tax returns, bank deposits, and invoices. Assess customer retention, transferable contracts, employee stability, and seller transition support.

P

Profitability: count every cost

Normalize earnings for labor, owner replacement compensation, insurance, supplies, debt service, and working capital. Reject opportunities that cannot support sustainable cash flow.

02 / What fits
An established business. A balanced risk profile.
Operating history
At least 24 months, with verifiable positive cash flow
Customer base
Recurring contracts; no customer above 20% of revenue
Team & systems
Reliable employees and documented procedures
Financial resilience
Cash flow sufficient for financing and operating reserves

03 / Execution roadmap

A deliberate path to ownership.

90 days is an execution target, not a guaranteed closing timeline.

DAYS 01–30

Discover & screen

Research local companies, speak with owners and brokers, and request preliminary financial and operating records.

DAYS 31–60

Validate the numbers

Reconcile revenue, review contracts and staffing, normalize cash flow, and evaluate financing and downside risk.

DAYS 61–90

Negotiate & transition

Complete legal and financial diligence, plan seller support, and close only if the financial requirements are satisfied.

For business owners & brokers
