The Hidden Advantages of Franchise Business Ownership

Starting a new small business on your own often comes with certain challenges you must face single-handedly. Franchise business ownership, on the other hand, gives you a proven brand that you can rely on to build positive momentum for your new venture. Franchising often works well in the commercial floor care industry because working alongside an established brand gives you access to products, a knowledge base, and clients that otherwise one would have to build on their own.

The commercial floor care industry is a great example of this. Significant demand from organizations that occupy commercial spaces has naturally caught the attention of many entrepreneurs. Those who choose to follow a traditional small business model typically face an uphill battle to earn the loyalty of commercial property managers.

If you are searching for the right floor care business opportunity, consider franchising with MilliCare. We have over 25 years of experience developing franchise opportunities in a growing industry. By joining our team, you can avoid the headaches that come with setting up a new business, acquiring a commercial cleaning license, and tackling other cumbersome responsibilities on your own. The MilliCare team can point you in the right direction and support your franchise location throughout your time as a MilliCare franchise business owner.

The Proven Difference That the MilliCare Franchise Brand Makes

We are well aware MilliCare is not the only commercial cleaning brand that allows entrepreneurs to pursue franchise business ownership. However, we are one that has worked tirelessly to strengthen our franchise model and give our locations valuable competitive advantages. As a MilliCare franchise owner, you will be able to leverage:

National Accounts

MilliCare is one of the few floor care providers with a nationwide client base. When one MilliCare franchise delivers excellent cleaning services to an organization's facility, it also helps our other locations win business. And with so many clients choosing MilliCare as their floor care provider, it's no wonder we have multiple locations in numerous territories.

All-in-One Floor Care Provider

We take pride in our reputation as an "all-in-one" floor care provider, a popular term property managers frequently use when searching for the right floor care company to service "all" their needs. As a MilliCare franchise owner, you'll be equipped with the necessary resources to provide a suite of floor and textile care services. Clients appreciate how MilliCare can deliver a variety of solutions; for one, our proprietary compound that aesthetically makes all the noticeable difference and resonates with the organizations that entrust us with their commercial cleaning responsibilities.

Recurring Revenue

The nature of commercial cleaning services typically means that your franchise can expect recurring business. At MilliCare, our clients sign a long-term contract that ensures our floor care professionals will return to service their property on a set schedule. This helps our franchise business owners generate a reliable stream of repeating revenue.

Our business model provides a clearer vision and forecast of your franchises’ performance over time. Many entrepreneurs prefer our model compared to relying solely on “one-off” client cleaning jobs.

Low Barrier to Entry

We are confident that motivated and passionate entrepreneurs will have what it takes to succeed as MilliCare franchise owners. Our team has worked with investors from all types of career paths prior to their joining our commercial floor care franchise.
