If you are self-motivated, reliable, good at working on your own or as part of a small team and enjoy the satisfaction that you get from a job well done, you might want to consider joining a cleaning franchise.
Cleaning franchises are typically some of the most affordable franchises available, yet the profits that can be made with this type of business are very impressive.

Business Clients
As a cleaning franchise, you will be able to serve domestic customers or branch into business cleaning. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the American population has become much more germ-conscious, and businesses in particular are being held to very strict standards of sanitization in order to safeguard the health of their employees and visitors.
Rest homes, hotels and hospitals often outsource their cleaning requirements, and these types of contracts can represent long-term financial security for a self-employed cleaner. Working in this type of environment allows you to develop enhanced levels of biosecurity and experience, which can then be valuable when advertising for new clients.

Domestic Clients
Homeowners are turning to cleaners now more than ever before as they work longer hours to combat the rising cost of living and choose to outsource the cleaning of their home to give themselves some free time with their families, or for their own mental health as they do not wish to come home to a dirty or unsanitary home each night.
As a member of a cleaning franchise, you will gain customers in your local area and plan each visit with them, from the time of day that they wish for you to visit to the duration and type of cleaning they require. A self-employed cleaner can expect to charge around $20 to $50 an hour, and many cleaners choose to use their clients' cleaning supplies rather than supplying their own. This means that the only outgoings that they incur are their travelling expenses.

Summary
If you wish to join a franchise that has a low level of initial investment but offers untapped potential for profitability, are willing to put in the hard work to gain regular clientele and can clean to a very high standard, a cleaning franchise may well be the ideal choice for you. Joining a cleaning franchise will allow you to make a good living from self-employed work with flexible hours to suit you.
