Overview

About

NEXClean franchisees provide commercial cleaning and disinfection services to healthcare facilities, offices, and other commercial clients. Day-to-day operations involve managing cleaning crews, scheduling service visits, maintaining equipment, and handling client relationships across protected territories. Revenue comes from tiered royalty rates (7.5% healthcare, 5% commercial/disinfection) suggesting a multi-service model with different pricing tiers.

Risk & Legal

74
Risk · 0-100
CAUTION74 / 100

This is a pre-revenue-stage franchise system with dangerously thin unit base (2 units), no financial transparency, and unproven business model — extremely high failure risk for franchisee capital.

Score breakdown · what drove the 74 / 100 rating

  1. 01MINOROnly 2 existing franchisees — critically small system with no demonstrated scalability or growth trajectory
  2. 02MINORNo average revenue or net income disclosure — impossible to validate ROI or assess realistic earnings potential
  3. 03MINORNo Item 19 financial performance representations — franchisor provides zero earnings claims or benchmarks
  4. 04HIGHGoing Concern flag is FALSE but franchisor stability is unverifiable with minimal unit base
  5. 05MINORHigh initial investment ($71.7K-$110.4K) combined with dual royalty structure (5-7.5%) creates significant cash flow pressure with unproven unit economics
  6. 06MINOR10-year term with only 2 franchisees suggests either very recent launch, failed recruitment, or serious market acceptance issues
  7. 07MINORLack of growth data — no disclosure of new unit pipeline, expansion plans, or historical growth rates
