Why Starting a JAN-PRO Franchise Development Business Is a Great Way to Build Wealth—Both Financially and Personally

JAN-PRO Franchise Development™, the franchise system that manages regional professional offices and provides certification, ongoing coaching, and administrative support to independently owned JAN-PRO Cleaning & Disinfecting™ franchisees, is centered around the concept of Building Business Owners. That is why the JAN-PRO Franchise Development executive model has been designed as a dynamic financial opportunity with recurring revenue; strong cash flow; low fixed costs; attractive equity; and an essential, community-based business. All of this creates a uniquely rewarding opportunity, both financially and personally. 

The JAN-PRO Franchise Development business is centered around three key pillars:

• Helping to establish JAN-PRO Cleaning & Disinfecting certified business owner your protected territory 
• Providing business-level support, coaching, certification in brand standards, and administrative support, including billing and collection services, to independent JAN-PRO Cleaning & Disinfecting certified business owners 
• Providing sales and marketing services to support commercial cleaning client acquisition on behalf of JAN-PRO Cleaning & Disinfecting certified business owners 

Simply put, Regional Developers run professional offices with salespeople, marketing professionals, and support staff who provide coaching and consultative services to JAN-PRO Cleaning & Disinfecting business owners in turn, these franchisees operate the commercial cleaning business and provide the commercial cleaning services to their clients.

“This opportunity is about so much more than cleaning,” said Karen Forrest, VP of Marketing, JAN-PRO Systems International™.” It is about people and how we strive for their success through the support that we provide. Our goal is to become one of the leaders in the franchise industry. The aim is to support franchisors and their franchisees to service their customers to be successful in their individual environments. We want to treat everyone with honor and integrity. It is important to provide them with the scalable solutions they need to be successful.”

Here are some of the major benefits of joining JAN-PRO Franchise Development as a Regional Developer. 

Changing the Lives of People in the Community

By owning a JAN-PRO Franchise Development business, Regional Developers will leverage the JAN-PRO Cleaning & Disinfecting business model to help certified business owners build a bridge to a better life for themselves, their employees, and their families. Having their own business where an owner can receive certification and support needed to build income and equity has proven to be an invaluable opportunity.

“At its core, this is a business of service, and that really spoke to us,” said Bryan Lubaway, from JAN-PRO of East Tennessee. “We love that our success is dependent on the success of our franchise owners, allowing us to build a community and help people while we take care of our family and build something that we can pass on.” 

Similarly, Regional Developers are able to support local businesses and create new business opportunities for entrepreneurs in their community. 

“Going into corporate America, I made good money, but here there is an opportunity to do your own thing while helping others do theirs,” said Allan Johnson, co-owner of JAN-PRO of Central Connecticut and Puerto Rico. “It is freedom. I can set my own goals, own my own destiny—all the things I learned throughout my life, I can implement them here. Instead of doing what others think is best, I can ask myself what I think. I can help my JAN-PRO Franchise Development staff understand my thinking. Corporate America can be rough, but I am making sure that whoever comes on our team doesn’t have to experience those things that I went through. I have the opportunity to create an atmosphere where people want to come to work.”

Creating Wealth for Yourself

By providing support for JAN-PRO Cleaning & Disinfecting certified business owners that are operating within the $75.6 billion janitorial and cleaning service industry, Regional Developers can take advantage of the recurring revenue streams without having to worry about doing any of the cleaning themselves. 

“More than ever, cleaning is a necessary part of any business that is open for their employees or the public,” said Gary Bauer, Brand President, JAN-PRO Systems International. “In the past, it was out of sight, out of mind. Today, it is essential. That is why our business continues to achieve historic rates of growth.”

Joe Sloyan, Vice President of Franchise Development, said the JAN-PRO Franchise Development executive model is designed to make Regional Developers’ money work for them. It requires a much lower capital investment than many other franchise opportunities. The total cost to purchase ranges from $127,500–$769,0000, and this includes everything Regional Developers need to get started: office space, marketing and franchise licensing fees. This number also includes the working capital needed to get the business up and running. 

“The saying goes: Revenue is good, profitability is better, but cash flow is everything,” said Sloyan. “Whether it be selling independent unit franchises, collecting the royalty or client acquisitions on behalf of the independently owned unit franchisee, the cash flow is incredible.”

Business for Yourself, Not By Yourself

JAN-PRO Franchise Development allows entrepreneurs to leverage the in-depth leadership team at JAN-PRO Systems International, who collectively offer over 125 years of franchising experience in the janitorial industry. As part of a supportive franchise network, JAN-PRO Systems International is there to help guide and coach Regional Developers, who in turn will provide business administration support and coaching to unit franchisees in their territory. JAN-PRO Regional Developers will have access to state-of-the-art systems and processes, certification, and customer acquisition tools. 

But that doesn’t mean Regional Developers aren’t in control of their own growth. The JAN-PRO Franchise Development executive model is a uniquely scalable opportunity as it allows Regional Developers to continually add independent franchisees to the model. These professionals can then acquire more work without having to expand their own infrastructure. 

“As you grow with other businesses, you often need to buy another truck, lease another building, etc.,” said Sloyan. “But the JAN-PRO Franchise Development executive model is much more scalable because you are essentially acting as a consultant that is providing coaching, guidance and business support systems to JAN-PRO Cleaning & Disinfecting franchisees. A regional franchise developer grows certified business owners as opposed to adding heavy fixed costs. If you want to build in one market and expand to another, you can keep growing without adding those fixed costs.”

Best of all, the commercial cleaning category is huge meaning there is virtually no limit to increasing the Cleaning and Disinfecting franchisees success in a protected territory, in return increasing the business of the Regional Developer business.

“There is no practically no ceiling on how big you can grow your business or that of your franchisee’s businesses,” said Bauer. “We have Regional Developers that have hundreds of certified Cleaning and Disinfecting franchisees who service hundreds of clients. We have been doing this for a long time, and many of our Regional Developers have been with us for decades. We know exactly what it takes to help our Regional Developers grow their businesses and build a bright future of their own making.”

An Inclusive Opportunity 

For those business leaders or former Corporate America executives who are ready to take control of their own destiny, JAN-PRO Franchise Development is designed to help everyone achieve their entrepreneurial goals. 

“Every franchise owner has a different dream and wants something different out of their life,” said Jay Waldron, JAN-PRO Regional Developer. “Some want a small business to provide for their family, and some want to hire 40 to 100 employees. The nice thing about JAN-PRO is that it is made for everybody.”

That is why, today, JAN-PRO Franchise Development consists of over 125 Regional Developers that service 41 states throughout nine countries. The ideal JAN-PRO Regional Developer may come from various backgrounds, including business leaders or executives, attorneys, scientists, strong middle managers, retail leaders, health professionals, self-employed business owners, engineers, sales professionals, training directors, educators, and other executive careers. 

“Once we learned of the JAN-PRO Regional Developer opportunity, we did our due diligence and spoke to other Regional Developers,” said Megan Lubaway, from JAN-PRO of East Tennessee. “Everybody raved about their decision to join the company. They told us how they felt so supported and encouraged by the corporate team, other Regional Developers and their certified business owners. We wanted that as part of our life.”

The total cost necessary to invest in JAN-PRO Franchise Development ranges from $127,500 to $769,0000. For more information, visit: janprofranchise.com.
