There are many reasons why someone would like to buy a franchise.
The idea of having your own business might be your dream for a long time and, of course, managing a company with a proven formula for success and low risk of investment sounds appealing to anyone.
This explains why, according to the 2016 Franchising Top Markets Report*, franchise businesses are responsible for 1 in 7 jobs in the United States.
The entrepreneurial spirit is contagious.
The difficult part comes in when selecting the franchisor.
Sageworks’ studies show that janitorial services are in the top franchise-friendly industries with net profit margins near 6% in the past three years. Since commercial cleaning businesses are expected to increase revenues in the following years, more investors are realizing that a good janitorial franchise can provide the freedom and independence they’ve been looking for.
Interworld Cleaning is the perfect investment opportunity! Our business model encourages growth potential and has been set up in a manner to flourish with growth.
Let us show you below the 10 main reasons why you should invest in owning an Interworld Cleaning franchise.
1. Low-risk investment
When buying a franchise you have a higher likelihood to succeed as the failure rates are extremely low —under 10%—, especially compared to the risk of introducing a new business to the market: 90% of startups fail. Plus, our experience has shown that our system is 100% successful.
As a franchisee, experience is not required—having a prior cleaning background is a plus but not a must-have— as the business model is in place and ready for your dedication. We provide expertise and proven techniques that will help you develop a sustainable branch, which will allow you to compete against other local cleaning companies.
2. Low start-up cost
When you invest in any business you must pay franchise fees and royalties. Interworld Cleaning has one of the lowest royalty and start-up fees in the industry and a well-thought-out business strategy. Why? Because our services require only a minimal amount of products and equipment for you off the ground.
Compared to many other business models, our janitorial franchise is time and cost-effective which allows you to allocate your resources effectively. Your new business could promptly become the best cleaning company in the area.
