Cleaning Franchise

Cleaning franchises offer the chance for entrepreneurs to invest in a company that offers home, office, and other cleaning services. These are one of the top recommended business franchises for investors to purchase. Whether the business is created for residential or commercial purposes, when a person purchases a cleaning franchise, they may well be on the way to a successful business venture. There are advantages to buying into an established company rather than starting a business from scratch, but the individual should do much research before determining if this is the right venture for them. "And there shall be with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing skillful man, for any manner of service." (1 Chronicles 28:21)

These companies can vary greatly in the type and amount of services they offer. Some may focus on residential services, some on commercial and others may include both options in their services. A cleaning franchise may offer a variety of services, including general work, carpet care, flood damage, window washing, hard floor care and more. Cleaning franchises may also offer some general maintenance. Because these companies differ so much in what they offer, it is important to find one that includes the types of services the individual is interested in offering and those that would be most in demand in the local area.

By definition, this type of company is a business opportunity where the management of a firm, or the franchiser, is in charge of the planning and execution of all business strategy related to the cleaning franchise. The franchisee, or the one who buys the business, has access to the name, which brings instant recognition, as well as to the system of business that the company has tested and established. With cleaning franchises, the business is designed to specifications that match the others of the same business, the marketing territory is already picked out, and the plan and methods are tried and true.

There are advantages to buying a franchise as opposed to starting one from scratch. Most cleaning franchises offer the advantage of helping the individual with business start-up materials, training employees and marketing in a new territory. Buying a cleaning franchise also offers instant name recognition because the company is part of a greater network of businesses as opposed to an independent business. Customers tend to gravitate toward what they know, mainly a name they recognize, which is what franchised businesses offer. This opportunity will have higher success rates than other independent businesses, as they boast an 80% or higher survival rate after five years. Because there is so much uncertainty built into starting a business, some people choose the franchise route to help eliminate some of the guesswork. This can offer the franchisee a tried and true method for their business, as well as possible ongoing, support and the much needed name recognition.
