Here is our YouTube video on this subject.
Hi, my name is Joseph Hollins. Most people just call me Joe. I own Clean and Thankful Cleaning Services LLC in Jeffersonville, Indiana. I would like to take a moment and try to help you understand the difference between cleaning companies.
There are 3 types of cleaning companies: Owner-operator, Franchise, and National company. When you call a cleaning company, usually they come out and give you a quote, an estimate, or you see the price on their website .
Lets say you have a 4000 square foot building with two small single restrooms you want cleaned once a week. Each type of company comes out and gives you a quote on how much it will cost to clean once a week per month price.
Owner-operator says $400
Franchise says $320
National company says $240
Now which one are you going to hire? The Owner Operator is the highest and the National cleaning company is the cheapest.
First, ask yourself, are these company's all going to do the same level of service every week? How detailed do you want your building every week? In general, a Owner-operator Company is going to cost more. The Owner-operator will do the work or hire a employee. A Franchise company will get you set up and sell your account to a person that wants in the cleaning industry and get a percentage of the cost or sub-contract it to a Owner-operator and get a percentage. A National company will more than likely sub-contract out to a Owner Operator.
I am not saying one is better than another but when shopping for your cleaning service, you want to compare each company to make sure you are comparing apples to apples not apples to oranges to pears. I hope this helped you when you are shopping for a cleaning service.
