Find a Cleaning Franchise That’s Maid Just For You

Many prospective franchisees think of cleaning franchise opportunities as janitorial services or residential cleaning businesses.

But there’s much more available when it comes to the cleaning industry. You can invest in cleaning business opportunities centered on a wide range of specialties, including commercial cleaning services, carpet cleaning, green cleaning, upholstery, window cleaning, dry cleaning, and water damage.

Let’s take a closer look at the details and trends regarding this low-cost franchise option.

With an initial investment ranging from $15k - $100k, cleaning franchises have low startup costs compared to other franchises. That means you can be your own boss and start generating recurring revenue at an average cost of just over $50k.
At these lower franchise fees, it’s no wonder that franchising in the cleaning industry is so widespread. But you don’t want to invest in something just because it’s low cost. Let’s look at some trends in the industry to support owning a cleaning company. 1. It’s a growing, recession-proof industry. At the height of the pandemic, every industry took a hit. These industries are now booming on the back end of the global catastrophe. With cleanliness at the forefront of many minds, the cleaning industry is one such category. In 2020, commercial cleaning franchise powerhouse Jan-Pro saw a five hundred percent increase in service requests and had a record year. Potential franchise owners looking to become business owners in a growing industry that stormed the worst pandemic in over 100 years would be wise to consider a cleaning franchise. 2. Increase in the age of the population Pandemic aside, people are living longer on average. And that’s a good thing all around! But at a certain point, those living into their 70s, 80s, 90s, and beyond start to outsource their cleaning duties to others. With life expectancy increasing every year, small business franchise opportunities in the cleaning industry are growing all over the country. 3. Cleaning and janitorial franchises are going mobile One of the biggest roadblocks in the franchise system can be paying for a brick-and-mortar location outside of the franchise fees. But new trends in the cleaning industry are businesses that run entirely from remote. You can save a lot of money on your initial investment and still get the support benefits that come with investing in a franchise.
If you’re looking for a full-time or part-time opportunity to run your own business, investing in a cleaning franchise is a solid option. The cleaning industry is a recession-proof and growing industry that requires little initial investment. Talk to a cleaning franchisor today, and don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity!
