hi there
the franchise route has always been aimed at tht type of market place, the thought of purchasing a ready made business model, does oftern appeal to some people.
i know many people that have bought and operate very good franchises, in signs, and drainage services, but they have worked very hard to get where they are today.
most people know by now that there isnt anything for nothing anymore, as the current econmonic climate so vividly illustrates.
contract cleaing franchises are regularly marketted as a management franchise, the idea being that the investor doesnt get their hands dirty, but purely manages the franchise, and in those circumstnaces it doesnt matter whether it is domestic or commercial, it is HARD work.
regards
martin
