Your Janitorial Industry Opportunity

There’s a lot to consider when you’re thinking about becoming a business owner through franchising. Perhaps the most important due diligence step you’ll need to take is determining which industry is the best fit for your goals, skills, and budget. Your choices may feel almost limitless, from more traditional options like fast food restaurants and convenience stores to more specialized options in the healthcare and wellness industries. At ServiceMaster Clean, we believe that choosing an opportunity in the janitorial industry opens a path to success. Beyond our national brand recognition and stellar reputation, ServiceMaster Clean franchisees are well-positioned to turn positive market trends into businesses that thrive.

No matter what the economy may have in store, franchising opportunities in the commercial cleaning and janitorial industries set entrepreneurs up for success. Even when it’s time for businesses to tighten their belts, there is always room in the budget for reliable janitorial services. As a ServiceMaster Clean franchisee, you’ll become part of a $58.3 billion industry that grows year after year. We provide an essential service that helps businesses and other commercial properties run smoothly all year round. Our clients – which include, but are not limited to office buildings, healthcare facilities, retail centers, and other institutions – require regular maintenance.

A Trusted Brand That Rises Above the Competition

It doesn’t take long to see why ServiceMaster Clean is unique among janitorial industry franchising opportunities. In addition to our decades-long reputation as an industry leader, our system and support structure is unique among restoration franchise systems. Most franchise systems do little more than provide customers to the network, and in these models, franchisees don’t get to own the customer relationship. ServiceMaster Clean empowers our franchisees to excel at lead generation, job costing, and sales, which gives you the tools you need to build a profitable business. Our franchise model regularly outperforms the rest of the janitorial industry, and our individual owners have a clear path to building a profitable business.

Is this janitorial industry the right choice for me?

It’s natural to wonder which industry might be the right fit for your skills and abilities, especially if you’re thinking about trying something new. While there are some careers that have historically matched well with the work that we do, like service-related businesses and industries, we’re really looking for entrepreneurs with these five attributes:

Understanding of business financial concepts
The ability to create, implement, and manage a quality customer relationship program
The ability to recruit, hire, train, and retain quality people
Either polished marketing and sales skills, or the ability to hire, train, and manage an employee to handle these critical tasks
An amazing work ethic

In general, ServiceMaster Clean is looking for people that wish to start and manage a business, that are driven to grow the business, and understand the importance of building equity in the business. If that sounds like you, we hope you’ll consider becoming a ServiceMaster Clean franchisee.
