ServiceMaster Clean Franchise Model Overview

ServiceMaster Clean franchises provide recurring contract janitorial services to building managers and commercial tenants, plus periodic carpet, floor, furniture and specialty cleaning, within a non-exclusive territory served from offices within a 60-minute drive of every address. The brand sits inside the same Roark-backed platform as ServiceMaster Restore, Merry Maids and Two Men and a Truck. The investment is low-to-mid six figures: franchise fee, cleaning equipment, a vehicle, technology, an online marketing deposit and working capital; an office outside the home is not required. Royalty is graduated, falling from 7 to 4 percent as monthly contract revenue grows, with a flat 10 percent on non-contract work and a minimum monthly royalty that steps up over four years. Owners or a trained manager must devote full time, and every office needs an AOS-trained manager. Terms are five years with one renewal. The entirely franchised base has drifted from 606 to 584 licenses as overlapping legacy licenses are consolidated.

Low-to-mid six figures of capital; can start from home with a vehicle and equipment
