Overview
About
Franchisees operate cleaning service centers providing commercial and residential cleaning supplies, equipment, and likely cleaning services. Day-to-day operations typically involve managing inventory, customer service, potentially dispatching or delivering cleaning services, and managing B2B relationships with commercial accounts (noted by $25,000/month threshold for premium royalty rates).

Risk & Legal
Contracting franchise system with hidden unit economics and no financial disclosure creates material uncertainty about franchisee profitability and long-term viability.
Score breakdown · what drove the 65 / 100 rating
- 01MINORSystem contracting at -4.0% YoY (24 units) suggests declining franchisee viability or satisfaction
- 02MINORNo Item 19 financial performance disclosure (avg revenue/net income) prevents ROI validation against $43,300-$45,300 investment
- 03MINORLow initial franchise fee ($12,500) combined with sliding royalty scale (5%-3%) may indicate thin unit economics or franchisor dependency on volume
- 04MINOR10-year term locks franchisees into relationship with shrinking support system and declining peer network
- 05HIGHGoing Concern flag is FALSE but absence of affirmative disclosure raises transparency questions
