When it comes to creating a lasting legacy for one's family, few enterprises resonate more powerfully than a successful family-owned business. One organization that has been a consistent partner in this journey of building generational legacies is&nbsp;<a href="https://janprofranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-jan-pro-franchise-development-attracts-legacy-owners-as-regional-developers-2722997" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">JAN-PRO Franchise Development™</a>, the executive franchise opportunity that provides certification, ongoing coaching, and business administrative support to independently owned&nbsp;<a href="https://jan-pro.com/franchising/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-jan-pro-franchise-development-attracts-legacy-owners-as-regional-developers-2722997" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">JAN-PRO Cleaning &amp; Disinfecting</a>™ franchisees.&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/janprofranchise">JAN-PRO Regional Developers</a> operate as regional franchisors that offer JAN-PRO Cleaning &amp; Disinfecting licenses to entrepreneurs in their protected territories. They run executive offices that focus on placing &nbsp; independent unit franchise owners and provide certification and business support to existing unit franchise owners. This unique franchise model has proven to be an attractive prospect for many growth-minded entrepreneurs who envision a future steeped in business success for their families.“It is humbling to see how many of our regional development owners are ready and eager to continue the business that may have started 20 or more years ago. The JAN-PRO Franchise Development business has allowed a business legacy to be built, in addition to providing continued commitment and support to the communities they serve,” says&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/garymbauer?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-jan-pro-franchise-development-attracts-legacy-owners-as-regional-developers-2722997" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Gary Bauer</a>, Brand President of JAN-PRO Systems International. “In taking on the family business, these second-generation owners are helping to certify, coach, and support independent JAN-PRO Cleaning &amp; Disinfecting unit franchisees to help ensure that local businesses provide safe and clean spaces for thier customers throughout the year. It is undeniably a testament to our brand, and we are eager to see the number of JAN-PRO Franchise Development second-generation owners continue to grow.”Second-generation JAN-PRO Regional Developers are not just investors, but also builders of a legacy and stewards of their families' futures. And each family's story is unique.&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/why-i-chose-jan-pro-the-hockensmith-family-2693">The Hockensmith family</a> in Colorado, for example, originally started as JAN-PRO Regional Developers back in 2002, with Scott Hockensmith, his wife Candy and his eldest son,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/scott-hockensmith-iv-5751b718?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-jan-pro-franchise-development-attracts-legacy-owners-as-regional-developers-2722997" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Scott Hockensmith IV</a> all investing in the franchise. In 2016, Scott Jr. officially bought out his parents' portion of the business and took over ownership.“We’ve had a ton of success over the past 15 years and it is really a great model,” said Scott Hockensmith IV. “I love being able to help people start their own businesses and watch them be successful. I had seen that play out over the years when I was involved in the business with my parents, and I really wanted to continue that legacy of helping others grow their businesses.”Scott Hockensmith IV says there are several factors that make JAN-PRO Franchise Development a strong choice for family business owners. “The model is proven,” he said. “If one generation is successful, it is easy for the next generation to see that and to continue to follow the model and make it even better over time.”Additionally, Scott Hockensmith IV says the business of franchising and commercial cleaning is one that transcends economic factors. “Cleaning is an industry that's very recession-resistant,” he said. “Whether it's a great economy or a terrible economy, people are looking to get into new opportunities&nbsp; in new fields. If it's a bad economy, a lot of people want to grow; if it's a good economy, there are a lot of new opportunities. Either way, we can help and support independent unit franchisees build their businesses.”&nbsp;Similarly, Scott Hockensmith IV says the JAN-PRO team has been there every step of the way to help him and his family succeed in their venture. “You can always find any answers to the questions that you may have,” he said. “Not only is the corporate team dedicated to the success of Regional Developers, but we also have over 100&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/janprofranchise/how-this-regional-developer-with-jan-pro-franchise-development-continues-to-scale-his-business-after-20-years-2720620">fellow Regional Developers</a> across the country that are growing&nbsp; their own markets and that have learned best practices. It is nice to be able to lean on that network for support when growing the business.”For other families thinking of following a similar path, Scott Hockensmith IV says the time has never been better to invest in the JAN-PRO Regional Developer model. “Small businesses are the backbone of America,” he said. “There are more and more people that want to start their own businesses and realize the American dream. That is what we do every day and the reason we get out of bed in the morning.”According to&nbsp;<a href="https://talker.news/2022/06/27/why-americans-trust-family-owned-local-businesses-the-most/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-jan-pro-franchise-development-attracts-legacy-owners-as-regional-developers-2722997" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">recent surveys,</a> people trust and feel more comfortable with family-owned businesses. Therefore, JAN-PRO Franchise Development, by fostering the entrepreneurial dreams of families across generations, is also helping to build trust within local communities.Overall, the stories of second-generation owners showcase how the JAN-PRO Franchise Development executive model is&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/janprofranchise/why-starting-a-jan-pro-franchise-development-business-is-a-great-way-to-build-wealth-both-financially-and-personally-2721966#featured">more</a> than a transactional business model. It serves as an effective legacy-building vehicle for families to create multi-generational businesses that are not only recession-resistant but also have multiple recurring revenue streams that stand the test of time."In taking on the family business, these second-generation owners are helping to certify, coach, and support independent unit franchisees to ensure that local businesses remain safe and clean spaces for employees and customers throughout the year," said Bauer. "It is undeniably a testament to our brand, and we are eager to see the number of JAN-PRO Franchise Development second-generation owners continually grow.”For more information about JAN-PRO Franchise Development, please visit:&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/janprofranchise/info">https://1851franchise.com/janprofranchise/info</a>*No JAN-PRO Franchise Development™ or 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.
