We’ve heard this all year: “Consider owning an essential business, especially now that we are in the middle of a pandemic!” 2020 has made all of us think differently about business. From now on, we will have to think about “what ifs” more and make sure if life gets interrupted again, would our business still be needed?
A commercial cleaning company is a great franchise to own now that we have seen what is considered as essential businesses. Now, more than ever, commercial cleaning companies contribute to the health and wellness of the customers they serve. Providing an essential service affects many people in your area. Cleaning is needed almost everywhere! Think about all of the offices, retail stores, government buildings, plants, hotels, hospitals, medical offices, and restaurants around you. With CDC guidelines, companies are ramping up what is cleaned, how often it is cleaned, and how well it is cleaned to avoid COVID-19 outbreaks and avoid being shut down. There are unlimited opportunities in this industry. Commercial cleaning is almost always a recurring service and keeps cash coming into the business consistently. And we know cash is king!
Many commercial cleaning companies want to work with veterans as they know they are looking for their next venture once they retire. Veterans have the work ethic and drive to make commercial cleaning a success. The cleaning industry isn’t sitting behind a desk, staring at a computer non-stop. It’s a chance to be out, around people, and moving. Franchisors know this, and many offer discounted franchise plans, so it is easier to get into the business financially.
Leadership skills learned in the military translate well into business ownership roles. They can deliver results and manage others are not easy tasks. People who can do this can do very well as franchisees. As a new business grows, creating jobs is helpful to your local economy, especially with the many reductions and furloughs that occurred this year. People need jobs. When hiring, veterans know how to look for employees with the same drive and work ethic to join their team.
Commercial cleaning offers flexible scheduling for franchisees and their staff to juggle other responsibilities, such as raising a family. Cleaning clients may need services outside the traditional 9 to 5 schedule, allowing franchisees to work nights and weekends when the customers’ businesses are closed.
Franchisors support their franchisees from the beginning. Training is provided before the business opens, and most offer ongoing training as new products and services are developed. Systems and equipment are already in place to ensure your business grows and is consistent across the brand. Roadmaps, proven to work, are provided and taught to make sure franchisees are successful.
