Our franchise owners are experts in all things related to commercial cleaning. This isn’t to say that when franchise owners start their business that they’re experts, but with our easy and efficient business model, multiple revenue streams, a unique and modular training program, and ongoing support, we are able to turn anyone who wants to be involved in the commercial cleaning industry into a professional.
What It Takes to Run a Commercial Cleaning Franchise
An Image One franchise is not your typical 9-5 job; franchise owners aren’t generally people looking for an office setting. Since we are a commercial cleaning franchise, our operating hours are usually nights, mornings, and/or weekends, with exceptions here and there depending on the customer. This means that franchisees have time to pick their kids up from school, go to appointments, and create a schedule that balances their work and life better than if they worked strict hours in an office setting. As an Image One USA franchise grows, they generally hire a crew that will assist with completing jobs.
There has never been a better opportunity start a commercial cleaning franchise where you can work for yourself, hire a team, and implement technological tools for janitorial tasks. We use the latest cleaning and sanitizing technology at the most affordable prices for customers, and franchisees have access to some of the best products, which we help through our purchasing assistance. We have truly created an opportunity for a career in commercial cleaning, not just a job that you invest in.
A RECESSION-RESISTANT INVESTMENT
Our investment comes with a lot of valuable resources that help you with your new business. We are considered a low-cost franchise, partly because our opportunity doesn’t have any site requirements. There are a lot of franchises out there that require you to have a storefront that meets brand guidelines and sells products in the store—ours isn’t like that. We are a service-based franchise, which means we offer a service to commercial customers. And our recession-resistant business model is built to last because the importance of cleaning for health will never disappear. Our jobs are also completed on-site, so there is no need to have a storefront simply for the day-to-day managerial and operational tasks that may come about.
The Technology
It is the 21st century, and businesses are incorporating technology into everything they do – the same should go for the cleaning services industry. Image One is not only keeping tabs on the best possible methods to help our clients disinfect for health, but we also make use of our innovative proprietary cleaning software. We use smartphones and tablets to communicate with customers, track tasks that need to be done on a daily basis and perform electronic inspections of commercial properties.
In addition, we use multiple apps and software that help our franchisees complete their jobs efficiently. One of them is iFast, which is a web-based software that creates an easy way for customers to communicate with their Image One partner, and it keeps a permanent log book of all communications. This makes the life of the franchisee easier because they can reference any conversations they had with a specific client, and it makes the process transparent between the franchisor, franchisee, and customer.
We have created a proprietary app for our franchisees to use that makes staffing jobs easier because of our IntelliClean process that keeps up with industry standards.
Best cleaning practices are always evolving in our industry, so for the betterment of our customers, we always stay up to date. Depending on our clients’ needs and budget, we will customize their cleaning plan to incorporate top-quality disinfecting and cleaning equipment that goes beneath the surface to eliminate germs of all kinds. At the end of the day, the health of our customers is one of our top priorities, so we never skip a step in making certain their needs are taken care of.
