Franchise Business Review (FBR) just selected Ash Gawande, an Image One commercial cleaning franchise affiliate, as one of its "Franchise Rock Stars" for 2019. Gawande was selected from a pool of over 27,000 franchise business owners across more than 300 brands. Franchisees in the pool were nominated by their franchiser's leadership as franchisees who are setting an example when it comes to business sense, professional and financial success, leadership and community contributions.
FBR President and COO Michelle Rowan said that there are many deserving franchisees and that it was tough to narrow down their list, but ultimately, they choose the franchisees who are living examples of what makes a franchise model work: commitment to the community and their business, leadership and a strong work ethic.
A veteran of the Air Force who spent two decades in the project management and telecommunications sectors of the business world, Gawande is the commercial cleaning service brand's first franchise in Texas. In a short time frame, the Frisco franchisee was able to expand his business, reach new clients and help spread the brand in his region.
Brand Co-Founder and President Tim Conn noted that the franchiser is thrilled for Gawande and recognized all the hard work he has done to expand his business. Without franchisees like Gawande, according to Conn, the franchise would not be where it is today.
Image One provides incentives specifically for military veterans, who can chose between three options: receive $5,000 a month in guaranteed business for one year; get 20 percent off of the franchise fee; or use a no-interest loan to finance the franchise.
A commercial cleaning service business, Image One has been consistently recognized among the top franchise opportunities by third parties such as FBR, Entrepreneur Magazine and CNBC. This franchise currently has franchise opportunities available in several markets. The total initial investment ranges from $57,110 to $123,700.
