Top 5 Reasons You'd Be Foolish Not to Become a JAN-PRO Franchisee

Sick and tired of business opportunities designed from the ground up to ensure high earnings? Grossed out by the idea of a recession-resistant business model? In a tizzy over the idea of a company going out of its way to give partners the tools they need to succeed?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you should probably see a mental health professional as soon as possible. Seriously – run, don’t walk. Also, you should stay clear of JAN-PRO. A company that has dominated the commercial cleaning space for years, JAN-PRO continues to grow. Here are the top five reasons why you’d be foolish to look anywhere else for a franchise.

Million-dollar earnings are the norm for master franchisees
Scott Thompson, vice president of franchise development at Premium Franchise Brands, parent company to JAN-PRO, highlighted how master franchisees have continued to see increases in business with an all-time high in 2014. With a $3.9 million average gross revenue and $903,000 average gross profit in 2014, it’s easy to see why people are lining up to get their piece of the $48 billion industry.

Which is cool, unless you can’t stand the sight of money. Yuck!

Cleanliness is hot regardless of the economy
There is practically no such thing as a recession-proof business, but you’d be hard-pressed to find a model as resilient as commercial cleaning. Not only do human beings generally prefer a spic-and-span environment (slobs need not apply), commercial facilities often have to follow certain regulations in order to stay in accordance with the law.

“Most industries require a certain level of cleanliness,” Thompson said. “Whether it’s a retail store or a bank, there are regulations to follow.”

While your standard office will want cleaning services in order to convey a professional image, schools, hospitals and other commercial facilities must invest in regular cleanings as part of industry guidelines.

Repeat customers are par for the course
Reoccurring income make you feel faint? Get some pillows ready - chances are you’re going to pass out after this next bit. It turns out commercial cleaning is the type of service customers crave on a consistent basis.

That’s right, JAN-PRO franchisees can never get a moment’s respite from a steady stream of people trying to pay them for their services. Some clients go so far as to request services monthly, weekly, or even daily.

Franchisee support is a priority
First and foremost, unit franchisees can count on exceptional support from master franchisees. How can they be sure of this? Let Thompson explain.

“JAN-PRO is probably the only business where the more you help your franchisees make money, the more money you put in your pocket as a master franchisee,” he said.

Meanwhile, master franchisees look out for one another, as well.

“We have multiple programs in place to help franchisees, including a very strong advisory council of master franchisees who dictate the support franchisees need,” Thompson continued.

Who better to support master franchisees than colleagues who are in the trenches with them? All for one and one for all, as the saying goes.

Strong leadership sets the example
JAN-PRO is not the company for you if you’re in the market for weak, wavering leadership.

Between them, JAN-PRO President and CEO Richard Kissane, COO Dennis Thompson and Eddie Curry, vice president and CFO, have close to 100 years’ worth of experience in and outside the commercial cleaning and franchising industries.

And don’t forget Charlotte Bentley, director of training at JAN-PRO International, who Thompson described as a powerhouse of industry knowledge.

In short, if the idea of company leadership that knows what it’s doing strikes you as a bad thing, you’ll want to stay far, far away from the folks at JAN-PRO.

However, if you’re smart and looking for one of the best opportunities out there, JAN-PRO is the way to go.
