Cleaning Companies for Sale in Dubai: How Aviaan Can Help You Buy or Sell

Dubai’s cleaning services industry is a high-growth sector, fueled by the rise of residential communities, luxury villas, commercial real estate, hospitality chains, and growing hygiene awareness.

As competition intensifies and businesses seek scale, buying and selling cleaning companies in Dubai has become a strategic move for both investors and business owners.

Whether you’re a cleaning company owner looking to sell your business or a buyer aiming to acquire a profitable cleaning firm, the process requires more than just listing and negotiation. It involves accurate valuation, regulatory compliance, due diligence, and deal structuring.

This is where Aviaan, a leading UAE-based advisory firm, adds unmatched value. With its comprehensive support across valuation, financial due diligence (FDD), legal structuring, buyer-seller matchmaking, and post-deal integration, Aviaan is trusted by cleaning companies of all sizes to help them exit or expand.

Why Buy or Sell a Cleaning Business in Dubai?

For Sellers:

  • Retirement or succession planning
  • Shifting to another industry
  • Strategic exit after brand building
  • Merging into a larger franchise or chain
  • Partnership disputes

For Buyers:

  • Rapid entry into a high-demand market
  • Access to government contracts and long-term clients
  • Skilled and trained labor force
  • Established licenses and trade permits
  • Physical assets like cleaning vehicles and machinery

What Determines the Value of a Cleaning Company in Dubai?

If you’re buying or selling a cleaning business, a realistic valuation is the foundation of a successful transaction. The value of a cleaning company is impacted by:

1. Client Contracts

Recurring service agreements with offices, residential complexes, and hotels greatly increase business value.

2. Team Size and Visa Quotas

A large, experienced labor force on valid employment visas offers immediate operational capacity.

3. License Type and Validity

A Dubai Economic Department (DED) license or Free Zone license (like DMCC, IFZA, or RAKEZ) in good standing adds trust.

4. Assets and Equipment

Professional machinery (vacuum trucks, pressure washers, steam cleaners, etc.) and branded vehicles increase valuation.

5. Revenue and Profit Margins

Clean financial statements showing growth in revenue and sustainable net profits are crucial.

6. Digital Infrastructure

Use of booking apps, CRM software, and fleet tracking solutions adds operational efficiency.
