We could list hundreds of reasons that Office Pride is the best franchise opportunity in America, but here are just three.
1. LOW COST
Office Pride offers you one of the lowest entry fees into any reputable franchise system in America. We ask for only a fraction of what most franchisors demand in up-front franchise fees. By keeping our entry costs low, we let you keep your capital reserve to build your business fast rather than load you with financial commitments that can slow your growth and your ability to achieve your dreams.
2. HIGH POTENTIAL
Commercial cleaning in America alone is a $128 billion industry and growing at 7% every year. Yet the janitorial industry is very segmented with thousands of small, independent "mom & pops" that do not have the systems, buying power, or professional brand like Office Pride. By following our proven systems of cleaning, marketing, business development, employee training and management, your potential is limitless - your dreams are within reach!
3. VALUES-BASED
The mission of Office Pride Commercial Cleaning Services is to honor and glorify God by building mutually beneficial relationships with customers, employees, vendors, and franchisees and fulfilling our promise of providing top quality janitorial services through men and women committed to honesty, integrity, and hard work.
If these reasons match what you are looking for in a business opportunity, we would love to begin a prayerful discussion on how Office Pride can help you achieve your dreams.
