Why not have a fleet of vans all working for themselves under your 'banner' so too speak, all paying you a comission because you have done all the initial hard work, ie building your brand, good reputation, marketting techniques and supplying them with there customers.
Who seriously wants to be cleaning windows till they retire?
Before you all start saying dont be daft why would anyone do that? Surely they would start up there own business from scratch!
This is a fair comment, many on here would not dream of buying into a franchise set up, but guess what, thousands out there will and do, so many people want the flexibility of been self employed but are too scared to take the plunge. Franchising offers them a form of security.
I would seriously recommend all serious window cleaning business builders to consider the 'Franchise' route for building a great business and a very nice 'residual' income that you will recieve long after you have layed your pole down from its last clean.
Hope this sheds some light onto the title of this post.
Happy cleaning!
