New franchisees are now guaranteed contract work as part of their investment
Unlike many other sectors, such as hospitality and leisure, JAN-PRO has not seen a decline in its business during the COVID-19 crisis – quite the opposite, in fact. As a company that has already specialised in disinfection techniques of large-scale commercial properties for over 10 years, its services have proved invaluable to customers during the last seven months.
By providing a custom cleaning plan that is tailored to suit every individual client’s needs, and by using innovative cleaning technology, it guarantees a service that sets itself apart from the competition. By sharing this technology and methodology with franchisees, it has continued to grow its network right across the UK, and overseas.
Rather than seeing any loss of contracts or customers, JAN-PRO has already positioned itself as an essential service for many of its clients and has already signed a number of high-value new contracts. The expertise that companies are looking for most right now is already built into JAN-PRO’s business model, allowing its franchisees to offer a critical service to their local community.
A growing demand
Since March and even more so today, businesses across the country have had to rethink the way they get their commercial cleaning done. Whatever the “new normal” means for them, companies from banks and gyms, to hospitals and schools are paying more attention than ever to the duty they have to staff and customers to keep their premises clean and hygienic. As the crisis continues to roll on, there is an increasing demand for commercial cleaning services that can deliver the meticulous attention to detail and safety that JAN-PRO provides.
Among its most recent new customers are Tails.com, the dog food company, luxury Mayfair spa, the House of Elemis, and a number of branches of Specsavers across the Greater London area. Even before the recent upsurge in sales and contracts, JAN-PRO was rated the world’s #1 commercial cleaning franchise for the 12th year in a row by Entrepreneur magazine and is working with more 10,000 different partners around the globe.
A unique opportunity to join a growing brand
During the last recession, six of the 10 fastest growing franchises were cleaning firms, and the current crisis seems to be no exception. Business for JAN-PRO is booming – and it can offer new franchisees something almost no other company can. “Our workload is growing so much that we can now guarantee new franchisees contract work as part of their investment with us so that you can be sure that your new franchise has the absolutely optimal chance of success,” said a spokesperson for the brand.
As uncertainty grows around so many industries, JAN-PRO is seeing a huge increase in interest from a wide variety of people looking for new career opportunities. In the last couple of months alone, the business has recruited four new franchisees with a large number of others approaching for further information.
New recruits have come from a wide variety of backgrounds. One comes from an office, another was an operations manager in a chain restaurant, and another was a cab driver. The one thing that united them all was a desire for change, and an urgency to move into an industry that could offer them a way to earn a sustainable income for many years to come.
