Has our last blog post got you thinking about making some big changes in your life? If your future goals include taking your career into your own hands and entering an industry much in demand, taking advantage of commercial cleaning franchise opportunities could be a good plan for you in 2020.

It can seem like a big leap to start your own business, but franchising is a great way to do this, allowing you to take the wheel, whilst also benefiting from the support of your franchisor and other franchisees, not to mention the tried and tested franchise business plan.

Here are just a few of the reasons why you should start a franchise business this year.

You’re in control

Investing in a cleaning franchise puts you in control of your own destiny. It is up to you to decide how quickly to grow your business, or how big you want to grow. You could decide to stick to a certain size, or you could choose to keep on growing and take on other franchise territories once your original franchise is established. It’s up to you.

You have an idea of what you are getting yourself into

Compared with the unknowns experienced in starting a new business from scratch, you buy into a franchise having reviewed the franchise agreement carefully, as well as seeing the successes of other franchisees. A franchise business plan is in place, so should you follow it carefully, there is plenty of opportunity for success, especially when you also make the most of your own great ideas.

You don’t need specific experience

If you are passionate about the cleaning industry, you don’t need experience in running a business, or even experience in this industry. A commercial cleaning franchise comes with complete training and resources to help you succeed. The franchise system is built around sharing advice and support – after all, the more successful you are, the more this benefits the whole franchise.

Franchising affords you the opportunity to try something completely new, in an industry that may be better aligned to your passions and skills.

The odds are in your favour

Compared with independent businesses, a much larger percentage of franchisees report profitability and failure rates are much lower. Sticking to a proven formula helps stack the odds on your side.

Why start a commercial cleaning franchise?

Simply put, commercial cleaning is an industry that is much in demand. Providing that you do your research and find the best territory to operate in, there is plenty of opportunity for business in a wide range of industries. Commercial cleaners can provide a wide range of services, including:

Factor cleaning
Office cleaning
Deep cleaning
Post-build cleaning
Grounds maintenance
Hygiene services
Janitorial supplies

The cleaning industry provides great scope for services you can be providing for clients in all sectors, from factories, to retail, and everything in between.
