In short: A cleaning business is mostly worth its contracts and people. Check the length, notice periods and profitability of client contracts, how dependent the business is on a few clients or the owner, staff retention and whether employees transfer under TUPE, insurances, equipment and any premises lease. Businesses are often valued as a multiple of adjusted profit. Fraser Bond doesn't broker businesses, but can help with commercial premises in London.
