If you want to know how to start a franchise, check out the following seven steps to owning your own business:
Step 1: Contact
Search for franchise opportunities online, or fill out the form to the right so that company will contact you.
Step 2: Schedule
Schedule & attend a commercial cleaning franchise disclosure presentation. By law, we must present you with a Franchise Disclosure Document before you would be eligible to purchase a franchise.
Step 3: Register
Register a new small business with the state. Before being able to purchase a franchise, you will need to create a corporation or limited partnership (LLC). If you know you are going to be going into business, this can be done locally in your state by yourself or with the assistance of your legal representative.
Step 4: Sign
Sign franchise agreement. Once all the other requirements have been met (FDD disclosure, mandatory waiting period, creation of the legal entity, etc.) you will be eligible to sign a franchise agreement and become the newest licensed franchisee authorized to attend specialized training to operate your franchise in the designated regional territory you have selected.
Step 5: Training
Complete training. Initial training will prepare you how to clean properly (restrooms, offices, carpeted areas, tile & other hard surface floors, etc.) and utilize the most up-to-date tools and equipment for peak performance and efficiency.
Step 6: Tools
Get cleaning supplies and equipment. Depending on the size of franchise you purchase, there will be some start-up supplies and equipment that you will need to have on hand before cleaning accounts can be assigned to you.
Step 7: Start
Open your franchise and start servicing accounts. Once you have successfully completed initial training and acquired the necessary tools and supplies, you will be eligible to start servicing accounts in the regional territory.
