Overview
Are you tired of corporate America? Have you ever thought about starting your own business? Ever considered turning to the cleaning industry to find your success? Neither had the majority of our franchise owners. That is until they discovered what The Cleaning Authority had to offer.
The Cleaning Authority provides our franchisees with recurring revenue, a scalable model, and an earnings potential that no one in our industry can offer.
Unlike other franchises, we take care of customer acquisition for our franchise owners. Our locations receive about 86% of their new customers thanks to our national and localized marketing campaigns. Since The Cleaning Authority has a high customer retention rate, our effective marketing strategies mean continued growth for franchises.
The Cleaning Authority is picked by franchise owners thanks to how it enables them to have weekends to themselves. With service hours that operate typical Monday-to-Friday hours, The Cleaning Authority franchise owners avoid the dreaded long weekends associated with owning other types of businesses. Additionally, our model is focused on developing a business toward absentee ownership — making us a great choice for business people who view starting a franchise as an investment!
