Jani-King franchisees ‘clean up’ for less than the price of a new car with Jani-King

It’s not often that you can buy a business for less than the price of a new car but with Jani-King commercial cleaning franchise, budding business owners can follow their dream for under $13,000.

Jani-King Australasia General Manager Mark Gosling said a Jani-King cleaning franchise was one of the lowest investment opportunities available in the franchise market.

“Our franchises start from just $12,800 ex GST so almost anyone can purchase their own business and realise a dream,” Mr Gosling said. “There are thousands of franchise business opportunities circulating in the market but our offer is one of the lowest and most secure as we also provide guaranteed income for two years to our franchisees.

“The best part about being a Jani-King franchise owner is that people are in business for themselves, not by themselves. We take care of everything from contract sales to full administrative assistance and training so our franchisees can focus their energy on providing great service to their clients.”

The commercial cleaning industry in Australia and New Zealand is worth AUD$2.5 billion a year and Mr Gosling said an increasing number of people were realising the potential returns on offer in this virtually recession-proof market.

“The economy may be slowing and affecting certain industries but office buildings, restaurants, medical centres and hotels and motels in need of cleaning are here to stay.

“This is a stable, secure industry that continues to grow even during down cycles in the economy.”

Griffith university student Saira Khan is one Jani-King business services franchise owner who found the franchise’s low-cost route to business ownership was the best way to pay the bills.

“I’ve been with Jani-King for almost two months now and my current turnover is about $3,000 per month,” Saira said. “I found it relatively easy to finance the business using a combination of my own savings and a small loan.

“Next month my business will reach full capacity so I will be making $4000 per month which is great for a university student. My long-term plan is to use the profits from my business to save up for a house.”

Saira said working in the commercial cleaning business provided the flexibility to fit in with her busy lifestyle.

“I’ve found it’s easy to juggle my university studies with my cleaning business because I can choose my own hours and work around my other commitments. I get up at five am and finish my cleaning at about 9.30am which leaves plenty of time to get to my classes which start at about 1 pm.”

Since starting franchising in 1993, Jani-King has grown to 1229 franchisees across Australia and New Zealand. Mr Gosling said Jani-King was one of the most mature franchise systems in the world

“Jani-King is actually celebrating its 40th birthday next year joining only a handful of franchise systems who can make the same claim.

“We currently have over 4,325 clients and we plan to grow our customer base in line with our franchisee’s capacity to grow. We’re also on track to add another 130 franchise owners through the 08/09 financial year.”

Jani-King is one of Australia’s most successful franchises recording a turnover of more than $80 million in the 07/08 financial year.
