Discover How to Find & Buy the RIGHT Cleaning Franchise…

Trusted Cleaner Approved

Unfortunately, not all cleaning franchises are created equal. The best investments provide you with everything you need to get set up and earning money quickly, along with the tools and support you need to create a successful and profitable business. The bad ones don’t! We know how hard it can be to sort the good from the bad, especially when you are talking to highly trained, commission-based sales people and reading glossy marketing brochures.

That’s why we do the research: To give you the facts and help you make an informed choice.

Only the highest performing cleaning franchises are recognised as a TrustedCleaner Approved Franchisor. When you see this badge, you know this company is one of the leaders in their industry, and has been thoroughly checked, vetted and verified by an independent team.

Step 1: Is a Franchise the Right Choice for You (are you sure)?

For some people, a franchise is a great way to start and build a successful cleaning business, and there are some high quality general and specialist cleaning franchises in Australia.

However, owning a franchise is not for everyone; and in our experience is often not the right choice for people just getting started.

This is a big decision, and it’s important to take the time to make sure it’s the right one. We recommend taking a look at the pros and cons, as well as your own personality & business goals.

If you are someone who has $10,000+ to invest (the entry cost of a decent franchise) to get a proven system and support, and are happy to deal with ongoing royalties/fees, the loss of control, freedom and other restrictions that owning a franchise brings, it could be a good option for you.

However, if you want to start with a smaller budget, or would prefer to have control over the services you provide, how you market them, the prices you charge, and how quickly you can grow, then starting your own home-based cleaning business might be a better option for you.

29 Essential Questions You MUST Ask
(but most people don’t!)

Your franchise is a bit like a marriage, so take your time to make sure you pick the right partner! Ask difficult questions, and do your research carefully. Credible, quality franchisors are usually happy to answer questions and provide access to current, and even past, franchisees. If you feel like they are holding something back, or being defensive – go with your gut and walk away.

NOTE: These questions are intended for general purposes only, and not intended to replace the advice of an experienced solicitor. We highly recommend consulting an expert to thoroughly check the contract before entering into any agreement.
