Situation
4M and O2 engaged G2 Capital Advisors (“G2”) as the exclusive buy-side advisor to identify and originate acquisition targets that meet the Company’s criteria and expansion goals.
Engagement
Under CEO Tim Murch’s leadership, 4M has had a strong acquisition appetite, completing 32 transactions since its founding. The scale and sophistication of 4M’s growth strategy, which has focused on building client and service density in key markets, has created a unique specialization opportunity for O2 within the fragmented janitorial services sector.
Outcome
4M acquired SG360, a company based in Lenexa, Kansas, on April 30, 2024. Founded in 1990, SG360 has built a reputation for providing comprehensively clean and safe environments through a range of janitorial and facilities services. The acquisition strengthens 4M’s presence in the Midwest and Southeast markets, expands customer reach in the education, commercial, healthcare, industrial, and special-use facilities sectors, and adds over 1,200 new team members.
“We were immediately impressed by SG360’s strong customer base, tenured employees, and aligned values, and we are excited to work together to deliver best-in-class service across our footprint,” said Tim Murch, 4M CEO. “I also want to express my gratitude to our G2 partners, who consistently demonstrate a deep understanding of our business and the industry at large by delivering targeted solutions.”
“This partnership combines two powerful, customer-centric facility services providers and is sure to amplify the attributes of both, including scaling SG360’s next-generation technology platform and proprietary cleaning system,” said Brian Steffens, Managing Director at G2 Capital Advisors. “We are pleased to support this partnership and energized to realize more successes together.”
