FAQs: How to buy a cleaning franchise?

This is one of the most common questions we get as a franchisor. Since our franchisees can work remotely and do not need to rent a storefront, our costs are lower than other cleaning franchise opportunities. Our initial investment ranges from $43,625 to approximately $61,225 and covers everything you need to get your franchise up and running. With financing provided by Image One, you can get started with as little as $15,500 down.

All cleaning franchise opportunities offer training, but we are the ONLY franchise that uses our unique and comprehensive training and strategy system to prepare you for your new career. Our training program is modular and consists of classroom, on-the-job, and on-site teaching to make sure you know everything there is to know about your new franchise and the best practices to complete jobs.

Our franchise support is something we pride ourselves in. From the beginning, we support our franchisees to get them started on the right foot with their new cleaning business. For starters, we give our franchisees a confidential operations manual that breaks down what their day-to-day responsibilities will look like. It will also explain cleaning and business techniques so you can immediately begin operations with our best practices.

We offer more than just a manual when it comes to support, though. We help with purchasing supplies and marketing your business as well. In addition, we have general ongoing franchise support in case you have any questions or need advice about your Image One franchise.

Depending on your business goals, an Image One franchise can be run part-time, so you can keep your day job while still being part of the cleaning industry. Since you are the boss and the owner, it would be your responsibility to hire employees so you can enjoy greater flexibility with your business.

This is another one of the biggest questions we get from prospects who are looking at cleaning franchise opportunities. We want these prospects to know exactly what they could expect with an Image One franchise, which is why we include different financial performance representations in our franchise disclosure document (FDD). The FDD is a 23-item document that contains important legal information about the Image One franchise opportunity. All items are mandatory except Item 19, which is an optional section for franchisors to answer the question “how much money can a franchise make?”

As mentioned, we strive for transparency from the jump, so we include a thorough Item 19 in our FDD. This way, prospects can make a truly informed decision about the Image One franchise opportunity. Our Item 19 includes annual gross revenue and other information about our franchises’ financial performances.

Yes! We are a service-based franchise, which means we complete jobs on-site, so there is no need for a store. You can run your franchise right from your home.

Our training program and support systems are what set us apart from other cleaning company franchises. In fact, we are the ONLY franchise that offers our unique and comprehensive training and strategy system. We use a modular training style, which consists of three different modules that combine classroom, on-the-job, and on-site learning.

We offer a ton of support as well. From purchasing and marketing to our technological tools, we have made sure our franchisees have everything they need to perform jobs, buy supplies, and find customers with confidence.

Yes, and we’ve factored that into the initial investment. We offer assistance in obtaining insurance to our franchisees to make sure that you are covered, but you are more than welcome to find insurance through a third party that meets the minimum insurance requirements.
