Janitorial Franchises
Janitorial franchises are a recognized way to start your business quickly, yet without the fuss and muss that most new business owners go through during the initial stage.
What makes franchise opportunities so desirable, beyond the "business-in-a-box" so to speak, is the ability to start your business using a trusted and publicly recognized trademarked name. New businesses started with a highly visible name in toe are almost guaranteed an immediate client base with recurring revenues.
Franchises give you the "nuts and bolts" of starting a janitorial business, but the service comes at a price
Franchises, such as Jani-King, have been in the franchise business for 20+ years. The company has seen steady franchise growth in the US, Canada, and overseas. It's worth noting here that Jani-King was recognized by Entrepreneur's magazine as a top franchise (#1 cleaning franchise, actually).
New business owners participate in somewhat of a "boot camp" that covers logistics of operating a franchised business. In addition to participating within an in-depth training program, Jani-King also offers added support and marketing assistance to ensure your overall success.
The training and on-going support don't come cheap, however. There are a number of fees associated with franchises, including franchise fee, start-up fees, inventory and equipment costs, and initial expenditures, such as payroll, payroll taxes, and so on. A person can expect to investment $5,000 to $35,000 for some franchises. Additional franchise and royalty fees also apply ... plus, you're oftentimes locked into contract terms that can range from a few years up to 10 or 20.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has an extensive file within the ftc.gov website to help protect yourself when wanting to buy a janitorial services franchise. The publication includes "problems you may face, how janitorial services franchise work, franchising rules, and how to protect yourself."
