The Facts of Owning a Cleaning Service Franchise

With the changing market trends in the country, new entrepreneurs who want to go into the commercial cleaning business now have the option of putting up their own business or buy a cleaning service franchise.

There are definitely PROs and CONs of starting up your own business, but buying a cleaning service franchise may be a very attractive solution. Here are some facts that you might want to think about to determine if this is the right option for you:

Fact 1: A cleaning service franchise is basically like any other business franchise. You acquire the rights of doing business and transacting with clients using the same brand name and service protocols that the franchiser has set up. It may depend how stringent the protocols and guidelines would be, but your activities, sales, and service methods should adhere to the company's policies and regulations.

Fact 2: If you choose to get into a cleaning service franchise you may not be allowed to create your own marketing strategy and business model, as you may be obligated to follow their management and business style. This situation is akin to being a general manager of the franchise.

Fact 3: There are many major benefits of franchising a cleaning business. One advantage is that the organizational structure is already laid down for you, and the business model has been proven to work. Most franchises will help in setting the business up, logistic planning, training and recruitment. They will also be supplying you cleaning materials so you don't have to look for the best ones on your own.

Fact 4: Another benefit of cleaning service franchise is that there is already an established brand. As long as you choose a robust and solid commercial cleaning franchise, you will only have to do minimal advertising, which in turn can save you advertising expenses. You don't have to build brand identity from scratch. You will benefit from using an existing and well-known brand.

Buying into a cleaning service franchise is a great start for a budding entrepreneur, because you can focus more on managing the business instead of planning and building your brand, which can take a lot of your time and can cost you a lot of money. Consider your options carefully though - because you may find it too restrictive for you, in comparison to starting your own business from "scratch".
