That is why&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimberlydawnjohnson/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-this-jan-pro-regional-developer-found-a-business-worth-celebrating-2720662" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Kim Blythe</a>, JAN-PRO Regional Developer in Charlotte, has continued to find so much satisfaction with the brand over the years.&nbsp;“The most powerful piece of this business model is to watch new business owners, who have worked in restaurants, have been trash collectors or have worked for someone else, achieve something they never imagined in a million years they’d be able to do: own their own business,” said Blythe. “That has pulled at my heartstrings over the years. There have been a lot of tears and celebrations.”Before franchising, Blythe enjoyed a long and successful career in business development, sales, and marketing. In 2009, she joined the JAN-PRO Franchise Development team first as a Director of Sales for the Charlotte office. Now, Blythe serves as the owner and Regional Developer for the Charlotte region of JAN-PRO Franchise Development, where she oversees 94 active JAN-PRO Cleaning &amp; Disinfecting certified franchisees in the area.JAN-PRO Franchise Development operates in a three-tier business model —&nbsp;<a href="https://jan-pro.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-this-jan-pro-regional-developer-found-a-business-worth-celebrating-2720662" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">JAN-PRO Systems International</a>™ sells Regional Developer licenses to entrepreneurs who essentially act as “sub-franchisors” by selling individual&nbsp;<a href="https://jan-pro.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-this-jan-pro-regional-developer-found-a-business-worth-celebrating-2720662" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">JAN-PRO Cleaning &amp; Disinfecting™</a> franchises to unit-level entrepreneurs in their protected territory.&nbsp;Regional Developers like Blythe don’t clean, they spend their days leading a powerful group of entrepreneurs, running a professional-looking corporate office with salespeople, marketing professionals, and support staff. This team provides coaching and consultative services to JAN-PRO Cleaning &amp; Disinfecting unit-level franchisees to help their businesses. With this, JAN-PRO Regional Developers can leverage an unparalleled brand reputation and steadily-growing demand in their scalable territory to build the business of their dreams with the coaching and guidance available from the in-market experts at JAN-PRO International.&nbsp;Today, like many JAN-PRO Regional Developers, Blythe says her favorite part of ownership is the privilege and opportunity to support like-minded entrepreneurs.&nbsp;“Certified business owners have kids, and we have provided scholarships and celebrated when they won awards,” said Blythe. “You don’t get to do that with most companies. This is something we never thought we’d be able to do. We are showing certified business owners and their families that if you work hard and don’t give up, you can find success. And in the meantime, we are also helping our own families and achieving our dreams.”Now, JAN-PRO Franchise Development is looking for other business leaders like Blythe who are passionate about entrepreneurship and want to own a business that improves people’s lives. The brand is looking to fill available territories in secondary markets such as Des Moines, Albuquerque, Reno, or Wichita. The states of Hawaii and Alaska are also currently available for development.&nbsp;The total investment necessary to begin the operation of a Jan-Pro Franchise Development regional developer franchise business is between $127,500 and $769,000. This includes between $50,000 and $600,000 that must be paid to the franchisor or its affiliate(s).&nbsp;For more information on becoming a Regional Developer, visit:<a href="https://janprofranchise.com/research/why-become-a-regional-developer-with-jan-pro/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-this-jan-pro-regional-developer-found-a-business-worth-celebrating-2720662#community-based" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">&nbsp;https://janprofranchise.com/research/why-become-a-regional-developer-with-jan-pro/#community-based</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;*No JAN-PRO Cleaning &amp; Disinfecting® franchise will be sold to any resident of a jurisdiction requiring registration of the franchise before it is sold until the offering has been exempted from the requirements of, or duly registered in and declared effective by that jurisdiction and any required Franchise Disclosure Document has been delivered to the prospective franchisee before the sale in compliance with applicable law.
