How It Works
Cleaning franchises charge $10,000-$50,000+ upfront plus 5-10% ongoing royalties. They provide brand recognition, training, and sometimes guaranteed accounts. An independent startup costs $3,000-$15,000 but requires building your own brand and client base. Over 5 years, royalty payments often exceed the franchise fee.
