Franchise Owners

The community of OctoClean Franchise Owners are the business owners who employ the cleaning crews that keep your buildings spotless. Every Franchise Owner goes through a rigorous interview process to make sure their entrepreneurial goals are in line with OctoClean’s values. After determining whether a candidate will be a fit for the OctoClean Franchise Owner community, we begin training and coaching to help our new Franchise Owner build a successful business.

Qualification

Owning a business gives you the power, control and flexibility you’ve always wanted in a job. More specifically, owning an OctoClean franchise allows you to choose your own path in life. You’re free to work as much or as little as you’d like and earn an unlimited salary. Your success is in your own hands.

Here at OctoClean, we want you to succeed. We’re in the business of creating powerful, self-sustaining business owners. There are a number of professionals and experts here who have years of experience in the janitorial industry. They’re your business coaches, teaching you everything you need to know about the industry and how to successfully run your franchise. While we provide several services to help you operate your franchise, you ultimately call the shots. Your business is in your hands.

We are looking for business owners who first and foremost have an entrepreneurial spirit. While we provide training and coaching in the following areas, we do look for candidates who are natural-born leaders, responsible, financially stable and technologically savvy. Before we invest in you, we want to be sure you are genuinely interested in the long-term venture of owning your own business.

The decision to move forward with making you a Franchise Owner is a mutual decision. If we decide that you are a fit for the OctoClean team, you’ll be invited to become an official OctoClean Franchise Owner. In return, you’ll make a decision to move forward or decline our invitation.
