How the Minders franchise supports franchisees

The Minders franchise provides a unique package of administrative and business development support which is designed to:

· minimise the time cleaning franchisees have to spend on paperwork and prospecting for new business

· ensure mobile franchisees can spend the majority of their working hours generating income and their leisure time really relaxing

Administrative support

The Minders franchise administrative support includes a centralised service for:

· invoicing

· debt collection, and

· reporting

Cleaning franchise partners simply need to fax their monthly record sheets to the corporate office for processing.

Business development support

The Franchisor is constantly sourcing new properties for mobile franchisees to purchase in order to grow their businesses. Minders franchisees are also free to source properties themselves, but most choose to leave this to the franchisor.

The franchisor works diligently to build relationships between The Minders franchise and the body corporate management companies that are responsible for managing the majority of Melbourne’s body corporate and commercial buildings.

Training

Like all successful cleaning franchise systems, The Minders franchise has excellent initial and ongoing training programs.

Getting started

New mobile franchisees start their careers with The Minders franchise by:

· spending a half-day at head office where they are briefed on administrative procedures for the cleaning franchise

· undertaking two weeks of on-the-job training with the mobile franchise, doing real work for their own properties under the supervision of the corporate training team

· taking a trip to the hardware store with the franchisor, to buy the items that form part of their initial franchise package. The franchisor explains the rationale for each purchase and shares other tricks of the trade.
