Setting Up a Franchise Unit for Your Commercial Cleaning Brand? Consider These

Are you wondering what would be the best way to expand your commercial cleaning brand across the country? Well, there’re tonnes of ways you can do so. However, none can be more beneficial than franchising your brand nationwide. Setting up a franchise unit for your commercial cleaning business allows others to run their businesses under your cleaning brand and offer your services. Thus, franchising helps local business owners to reach every corner of the country. However, you must know that franchising isn’t that easy. It’s more than allowing others to run their businesses under your commercial cleaning brand. Hence, you must consider a few things when thinking of expanding your local business nationwide through franchising.

Wondering what are those? Let’s dive into the following blog post and discuss about franchising commercial cleaning brands across Australia.

The top 7 things you must consider when franchising your commercial cleaning business

Franchising is all about other business owners running their businesses under your local cleaning brand, right?

Well, YES and NO.

Franchising indeed allows other business owners to run their businesses under your local cleaning brand, but it’s also more than that.

Without proper considerations, franchises may fail and ruin your business reputation.

Even data shows that the failure rate of franchises is as high as 50% and as low as 20%.

Therefore, you should consider the following when thinking about franchising your local cleaning brand nationwide:

1. One of the most vital things you must check before franchising your commercial cleaning brand is the scalability of the brand. You must ensure that your commercial cleaning brand is scalable and replicable, so your franchisees can run the business without your physical presence.

2. Next, you must ensure that you’ve got sufficient funds to franchise your local commercial cleaning brand. Even though your franchisees would be doing all the investments, you still will need money to train them and prepare legal documents for franchising your business.

3. Now that you’ve got enough money, you must check the popularity of your business niche. Franchisees tend to invest in popular business models. Well, reports show that the market of commercial cleaning businesses in Australia has grown 4.7% per year between 2019 and 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.9% between 2024 and 2032. Well, this report is lucrative enough to attract potential franchisees in cleaning businesses, but you should ensure that your commercial cleaning brand is popular within and outside the local community and has a steady customer base.

4. Next, you must prepare the necessary legal documents before planning to franchise your commercial cleaning business. As per the latest laws, you should prepare FDD (Franchise Disclosure Document) and FA (Franchise Agreement) before selling your cleaning service franchises to anyone. Thus, you should ensure that they’re drafted by an adept franchise lawyer and include all information about your brand.

5. Business revenue is another vital factor you should consider when thinking of expanding your commercial cleaning businesses across the country. Before thinking of franchising your local cleaning brand, ensure that the revenue of your brand is lucrative enough to attract potential franchisees to invest in your franchises.

6. Hiring the right franchisees is another vital factor you should consider beforehand. Most business owners tend to hire someone from their family or friends as franchisees. Though there’s nothing wrong with that, you should ensure that the one you’re hiring has the potential to run a commercial cleaning franchise and is more interested in growing with you rather than getting rich faster.

7. Lastly, consulting the matter of franchising your local commercial cleaning business with a professional franchise consultant would be beneficial. With years of skills and expertise, they can guide you through the process.
