Overview
About
Pure Maintenance franchisees operate janitorial and commercial cleaning services, providing regular maintenance contracts to office buildings, retail spaces, and commercial facilities. Day-to-day operations involve managing cleaning crews, scheduling recurring service visits, invoicing clients, and maintaining equipment—typically starting as owner-operators before scaling to manage multiple teams.

Risk & Legal
Pure Maintenance presents HIGH RISK due to going concern status, single-unit franchise system, unclear growth trajectory, and questionable financial sustainability despite moderate unit-level profitability metrics.
Score breakdown · what drove the 67 / 100 rating
- 01HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE — indicates the franchisor may have financial stability issues or undisclosed operational problems
- 02MEDOnly 1 unit disclosed — suggests either a brand-new system, collapsed franchisee base, or data reporting issue; impossible to validate system viability
- 03MINORNo growth trajectory provided — cannot assess whether franchise is expanding, stagnant, or contracting
- 04MINORHigh franchise fee ($59,900) relative to single unit example — creates significant sunk cost risk if unit underperforms
- 05MINORItem 19 financial performance data appears to represent a single outlier unit, not system averages — $548K revenue and $133K net may not be replicable
- 06MINORProtected territory provided but only 1 operating unit raises questions about territorial enforcement capability and franchisor's commitment to multi-unit development
- 07HIGHNo litigation disclosed may indicate inadequate disclosure rather than absence of disputes in a struggling system
