Stockton Ventures buys cash-flowing service businesses from founders ready to sell — bringing capital, systems, and a long-term perspective to operators planning their next chapter.
We come to the table with a clear perspective on what makes essential service businesses work — and what it takes to grow them.
Existing leadership stays in place. We don't acquire businesses to dismantle them. Your team, your clients, and your culture are what make the business valuable — we protect all three.
We're not in the business of quick flips. We take a long-term view on the businesses we acquire, focusing on building real value rather than engineering a fast exit at the expense of the company.
Facility and field services are our focus. We understand contract structures, client concentration risk, crew management, and what recurring-revenue service operations actually look like from the inside.
Facility and field service businesses are often undervalued, overleveraged, or disrupted by buyers who simply don't understand the business.
Private equity funds and strategic buyers move fast, but they're often optimizing for the wrong things — leverage, headcount reduction, and a 3–5 year exit.
We structure deals that work for both sides — fair valuations, straightforward terms, and a genuine commitment to the businesses we acquire.
We keep the process simple and respectful of your time. No unnecessary complexity, no last-minute surprises.
A confidential call to understand your business, your goals, and whether there's a mutual fit. No obligations, no pressure — just a genuine conversation about what you've built and what you're looking for.
We review financials, contracts, and operations with a focused lens. Because we specialize in facility and field services, we ask the right questions and don't waste your time with irrelevant ones.
We use straightforward deal structures. No complex earnouts, no hidden contingencies. We pay what we say we'll pay and we close on time. Cash at close, with seller rollover available if desired.
Post-close, we support the operator with capital, systems, and strategic guidance. We add fuel; the operator keeps driving. Access to growth capital, operational playbooks, and portfolio-wide leverage.
We concentrate on essential, recurring-revenue businesses that keep properties clean, maintained, functional, and restored.
Office buildings, retail spaces, healthcare, and institutional facilities — including janitorial and floor care — with contract-based recurring revenue.
Preventive maintenance, repair, and installation services for commercial and residential properties — including handyman work and garage door installation.
High-rise, commercial, and residential window cleaning, pressure washing, and exterior surface cleaning operations.
Route-based outdoor service businesses including tree removal, pool service, holiday lighting, and seasonal grounds work.
Recurring residential and commercial service routes — pest control, septic services, and home inspection — with sticky customer relationships.
Post-construction cleanup, industrial cleaning, medical-grade sanitation, and water/fire damage restoration services.
We look for profitable, growing businesses with strong operator teams. Fundamentals matter more than size.
Whether you're ready to sell now or just exploring your options, we'd love to learn about your business. All conversations are confidential.
