Janitorial franchises are a scam! It might work for some but I guarantee it doesn't work for the majority. This is how they work: _You pay them a package, for example you pay about $16K for a $4k monthly income _They'll get you the accounts. _Although they say you can choose to accept or not a specific account, it' not true. They will turn around and say they satisfied the agreement of providing your accounts and if you didn't take, they won't give you more accounts. _They underbid contracts to compete with everyone else, since they are NOT the ones doing the work. They don't care. They get the accounts due the low price and you're stuck working hard for few hundred dollars a month. You would be better off working for McDonalds getting $8 an hr. DO THE MATH! _NOW This is the worst of ALL... Once they have too many franchisees and can't find enough accounts, they will find anything wrong in some buildings as a missed trash can and ask the company if they want another person to clean... Since it doesn't make a difference for them, they will say yes. Then the Franchise call you and say your customer requested to get another contractor because he's not happy with your job. Now they sale that account to the newer franchisees so they honor the agreement to get accounts. THAT'S STEALING! With a cleaning franchise, in reality you never own your own business! If you owned the accounts you should be able to walk away with them after a period of time. Right? NO. You can't because the contract is on the franchise namer... NOT YOURS!
I just hope that a Federal Court one of these days force all cleaning franchises to get the accounts on the franchisees' names... Not theirs. Create a money back guarantee and protect the little guys. The franchisees... I can't believe in this age Cleaning Franchises are able to get away with this scam... This is a license to steal legally!
