Fads Come and Go – Commercial Cleaning is Forever

 History

The Company began franchising Master locations in 1995. The key difference between investing in a “fad” franchise and investing in a JAN-PRO franchise is, the commercial cleaning you manage will never go out of style. As long as there are businesses, there will always be the need to maintain them. This is why we often refer to our industry as being “recession resistant.” Regardless of other economic pressures and consumer preferences, our industry, and JAN-PRO in particular, has thrived over the past decade.

If you’ve been considering investing in a franchise, chances are you have probably asked yourself this question. It is a reasonable question because in certain categories of franchising, the problem is the ever-changing nature of consumer buying habits. What is a fad this year may not be next year. As the competition heats up and new consumer options open up, trends and fads can be damaging to your business investment over time.

JAN-PRO Master Franchise Opportunity – An Executives Business

How does cleaning qualify as an Executives Business? The answer is simple! Our Master Franchise concept allows seasoned management or sales/marketing executives to         capitalize on the business of becoming a franchisor. The industry they are franchising in     just happens to be cleaning!

As a Regional, Master franchisee, one of the main responsibilities is to develop your region by selling and supporting Unit Franchises within their exclusive territory during normal business hours. The Master Franchise office then provides guaranteed customers,    accounting, training, field support and marketing assistance. The Unit Franchisees provide the cleaning services to the customers.

The Company

JAN-PRO Franchising International, Inc. was founded in 1991.

Currently JAN-PRO has over 90 Master Franchise offices in the US, Canada, GB and Ireland with over 7000 Unit Franchisees.

Cash Flow Benefits to the Master Franchisee

The Master Franchisee derives their cash flow from the following areas:

* Unit Franchise Fees

* Royalty

* Management /Administrative/Insurance Fees

* Additional profit on chemicals/equipment

The Jan-Pro Difference

Our competitive advantage: it comes from quality and consistency because the people doing the cleaning – the Unit Franchisees – are committed financially in the results. How? Contracts are granted by the Master to Unit franchisees but they may lose their investment if they lose their accounts for unsatisfactory reasons.

Potential Questions

“Why would anyone buy a Unit Franchise when they can go into business by themselves?” The Unit Franchise prospect does not want to procure customers or develop all of the systems needed to run a successful commercial cleaning business. They need the experience of a franchisor who is structured to do so.

“Will my city have enough buildings to clean?” Yes! There is $200 of commercial cleaning per capita. JAN-PRO services the small to mid-tier market in commercial cleaning. This can be described as office buildings, car dealerships, banks, apartment complexes, retail stores etc.

“Will I ever sell out my market with regard to potential Unit Franchisees?” No! With a minimum population of 400,000 people in most master territories the opportunity for Unit Franchise sales has no limits.
