Rethinking Leadership: Interim and Independent Directors as Strategic Levers

The facility services sector — covering businesses such as janitorial services, building maintenance, fire protection, HVAC, landscaping, and security, among others — continues to attract robust interest from private equity investors and strategic buyers alike. Investors are drawn to fragmentation and the recurring revenue, recession-resistant, non-cyclical, and non-discretionary nature of the sector. Diligence scrutiny, however, is vigorous with a process-oriented, sector-aware approach to achieving successful outcomes.

G2 Capital Advisors was the exclusive financial advisor to buyers and sellers in 24 facility services transactions and mandates in the last 24 months, with several additional transactions in the letter of intent to closing phase. While these transactions span a variety of subsectors, there are common themes and trends shaping deal activity.
