Benefits of Franchising to Help Grow Your Janitorial Business

It is predicted that over the next few years the janitorial services industry will grow around 8% annually. This growth can be exciting for business owners in the commercial cleaning industry, but it poses some obstacles as well.

Growing a service-based business, such as a commercial cleaning company, is challenging. Even if you have mastered the art of hiring, training, and management, these activities take time, and there are countless other tasks demanding your attention, such as:

  • Business development, sales and marketing. Obtaining cleaning contracts is difficult to do without a dedicated sales and marketing strategy.
  • Bookkeeping. Sending and tracking invoices and collecting payments are both critical and potentially time-consuming.

What is more, the failure rate for new businesses, both inside and outside the janitorial industry, is quite high. A fifth of new businesses do not last even a single year, and nearly half do not survive past their first five years. If you want to beat those odds, you may be considering different strategies to set yourself up for long-term success.

One tactic you may have considered is outsourcing certain business tasks to someone else, so you can focus your energy on recruitment, management, and excellent commercial cleaning service. An excellent way to pursue this strategy is by purchasing a Vanguard Cleaning Systems® janitorial franchise.
